We will be working in conjunction with Floyd McClung as we focus on Masiphumelele and Ocean View, two townships of Cape Town both extremely rich in beauty, culture, and need. We will bring the hope of Jesus to townships that suffer under the weight of hopelessness brought on by 70% unemployment, high levels of child abuse, and poverty.
Whether going door to do to visit shut-ins, spending time talking and playing board games with AIDS victims in a hospice, teaching Christian values in local schools, or assisting in the daycare ministry, you will experience firsthand the incredible value of these colorful and generous people.
• Ocean View is an urban settlement of over 30,000 colorful multi- ethnic people.
• Originally known as simply Site 5, this township was renamed Masiphumelele by its residents, which means “We will succeed.” Over 26,000 people live in Masi.
Known as the rainbow nation, South Africa is a country with nine provinces and eleven official languages. This country is as diverse in people groups as it is in terrain. The South African people are some of the most gracious, warm, and generous people in the world.
