Prayer Request
we need prayer for a project we are taking on that we would like to see well on it's way by the time we fly. You know that family I have been writing about. Well, it is just so right that we have been working with them. Their names are mother, Methiselo Qaoka, Moses Qaoka (10), Lunlang Qaoaka (15) and an older brother 21. They came from the Eastern Cape, their father threw them out of the house because partly cuz mom was diagnosed with AIDS and the father has it too. They came from a town where the boys did not go to school, they tended to the animals they wre raising for milk and food. You could not believe how close the boys are and how much they do for themselves and eachother. Moses and Lunlang were the two we put into school and bought uniforms for, their pics are on the website. Anyway, they are staying with a lady that they are not related to. The situation is not good. Any, the Lord put on our heart this morning in a big way to walk around the town and hunt for a shack for them. We just walked and talked. We found a spot in a quiet part of town in back of a house and the women would rent the space for R150 ( 6 rand to an american dollar) per month that would include electricity and usage of the toilet in the house. She already has about 3 or 4 shacks in her backyard. We asked our friends from Bridges of Hope to see if they had resources for bulding shacks and we also talked to Thuso at Prochorus. We prayed before all of this and it seems like if everything comes thru, Him thru us and all the supporters will be building a shack for a family of four and leaving behind advance rent thru Prochorus for them. I am also going to get with some contacts from the Afrikaan church here to get some commitments to do a monthly support thing for them thru prochorus. Also, we are taking the mom tomorrow to get ids and birth certificates so that she can apply for gov. grants. Please post this for prayer.
