First of all,

!!We wish you and your loved ones a blessed Christmas and a very healthy 2026!!

We have sent everyone who made a donation this year a 2026 calendar and a Heart for Children keyring. Please let me know if you did not receive this.

Health is important, as we learned this past year….

We went through a difficult time this year with Annette having to undergo 2 operations on her stomach, each lasting more than 5 hours. We are so grateful to God that she can now eat normally again! Looking back, we can truly say that God healed her. Thank you for all the prayers from our friends and family (‘our angels’).

Now I realize that at some stage we all face challenges on the issue of life and health. As it happened, I came across this Christmas movie, and I was blessed by it. Check this out on YouTube—I really enjoyed it.

We are not without hope!

To learn more about the first ever Christmas, watch the documentary “The First Christmas” by Kevin Costner.  We thought it was quite impressive.

Hope is what we do!

Our project of building two foster homes in Bethanie, now named “Kingdom Legae”, in the North-West, is really progressing well. I understand the building of the ablution facilities is now also completed. See picture below. 

We are grateful for the very economic spending by Fani in building the foster homes and the progress made. Thus far, HfC has spent ca. R60000. Fani is obviously doing a very good job, supervising the building. However, we knew from the start that this would not be a simple one-year project but that we would need more time to raise the funding for a project as big as this.

To continue with the project, we are depending on your donations. Any donation or assistance with the building & furnishings will be much appreciated. To donate now:
