By using the principle of multiplication, your donation is doubled! Churches were challenged that for every blanket they bought for R30, the ttt4c partners will donate an additional blanket to that church.

The NG Kerk Floridapark took advantage of this opportunity and purchased 200 blankets, they received 400 blankets in return.

1400 blankets and 600 bags of clothing to date. NG Kerk Floridapark collected 400 blankets from Walk Thru the Bible in May this year which they distributed along with clothing collected by the Afrikaans High School Florida Park for clothing4children. The distribution of these blankets and clothes reached as far as Bosbokrand in Mpumalanga and Ladismith in Kwa-Zulu Natal.

Florida park has collected a total of 1959 bags of clothing, with a weight of 13102kg in total, in the partnership and administrated by Ds Danie Louw to 14 different organizations.

On 27 August 2011, 13 participants attended a KidZ At Heart Training held at the Walk Thru the Bible offices in Victory Park, Johannesburg.

This is what they had to say:

• “It was good to be reminded of things I have known for a while, but I realized I can apply these principles to my own kids on a day-to-day basis. The training equips teachers to work with kids and there will be a much better chance that children will come to love the Lord and His Word.”

- Verona Venter, Randfontein, SA

• “I was once again reminded that as a body each of us have a different gift and function. We need to make room for the differences in the students in our class.”

- Lynnette Stander, KidZ At Heart Trainer, SA

 

• “I loved the practical activities and ideas. Just the fact that I got to experience the lessons, I can now better teach the children that I work with. This training reminded me how much I love working with children and teaching them about God and how important it is to build relationships with them.”

- LizeMarie Niemann, Westdene, SA

 

• “I have realized that the more I take part in this training I get to know what God wants me to do – to better my ministry for His glory. I was also reminded by one of the students that my own children are a ministry!”

- Xolani Mthanyelwa, KidZ At Heart Trainer, SA

 

• “Children’s ministry is fun! Through KidZ At Heart I can bring the Bible to life for the children.”

- Rosemary Kwaramba, SA

 

• “I have learned a lot and I will be able to use it in my ministry. It also helps financially because I have seen that you don’t need expensive equipment to teach lessons from the Word!”

- Lorain Bronkhorst, SA

 

• “The training has transformed the way I think about children’s ministry. I have been involved in youth ministry for a long time and one tends to do things in the same way over and over again. KidZ At Heart is a fresh way of thinking about how to minister to kids.

- Paul de Vos, Youth worker, NG Randpoort, SA

 

• “The multiple intelligences were an eye opener to me. We can teach in different ways and reach all the kids in our class.”

- Ria Vorster, Randfontein, SA

 

• “It was a treat to be a part of the plays, games, stories and fun!”

- Mariana Holtzhausen

• “I saw volunteers getting excited to share Jesus with children. I heard comments like ‘this material can change the world’. I felt the Holy Spirit inspire all of us. I tasted a piece of heaven through the people that did the training. All the glory to Him!”

- Joan Hanekom, KidZ At Heart Trainer, SA

 

• “I felt like a child myself while experiencing the lessons.”

- Marie Naude, Randfontein, SA

 

• “I think the highlight of the training for me was when one of the students interrupted us during our Prodigal Son lesson to share his testimony. He told us that many years ago through this story he came to know Christ. He said he was the prodigal son that was welcomed back with open arms by his Father.”

- Yolande Nunes, KidZ At Heart Trainer, SA

A US Korean team from GAIN SA (Global Aid Network), a ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ,  experienced a historic event on Saturday, 25 June 2011.

The first ‘convoy’ made up of 3 vehicles and 2 trailers departed from their offices in the afternoon to deliver a large load of clothing, bedding, food, etc. to four areas in Limpopo – Soshanguve, Ga-Rankuwa, Makapanstad and Lefatlheng. This will be distributed by the mission team to orphans, child-run households, elderly and the poor.

Special thanks can be given to several donors, amongst others, Hospice Centurion and Walk Thru the Bible, who made this gift possible. Individuals such as Gustaf Klingbiel, Vincent du Plessis and Willem Kelber who made their vehicles and/or trailers available, as well as Gustaf, Vincent and Dawie who gave up their time to do the delivery.

On the Saturday everyone was very excited by the instant rapport they had with the congregation and children. The children were hanging onto them ‘like apples on trees’, playing, dancing around and doing everything the team had them do. The team presented an outstanding silent drama about receiving and giving out the love of Jesus, ending with an eruption of applause by the children.

On Sunday, the team divided in 3 groups and were taken to 3 different churches where 3 of the team members were going to bring a Gospel message, as well as minister at a large youth gathering during the afternoon. The congregation testified that Jonathan Lee, the team leader had delivered an excellent, encouraging message.
