Genesis Light Foundation in conjunction with Shalom Sanctuary had the privilege to hold an outreach to Hopelands Village in Magaliesburg, South Africa.
Planning the outreach
During the planning of this outreach, remarkable breakthroughs occurred, with miraculous donations pouring in, and a dedicated team of volunteers inspired by the spirit of Jesus joined the effort.

We attribute all the honor and glory to God for uniting countless individuals, both near and far, to make this day a reality.
We had known donors and anonymous donors, who donated between R1000 to R10,000. There were donors who sponsored so many items. The Lord knows each name that made a precious effort to sow into the lives of each child.
The Lord ensured that the children at Hopalands were blessed directly by His hand, regardless of the challenges encountered. He also provided for the caregivers who selflessly dedicate their time and energy to nurture the babies and toddlers in the home.
On the day of the outreach
All the volunteers gathered and reached Hopelands by approximately 12:30. Tshihumbudzo, the remarkable Social Worker, greeted us with a warm smile. Alongside Mavis and another gentleman, they aided us in unloading the supplies from our vehicles. Tshihumbudzo then graciously led us on a tour of the home, offering insights and sharing heartwarming stories about the children.
We then made our way outside to spend time with the kids and just love on them.

Freda made sure to make time to pray for each child and care giver of the home. Freda reminds us of every woman in the Bible, whole can turn a whole “village” around to know the power of Jesus Christ.
We were all so thankful to be a part of such a fulfilling day.
Please check out the Hopelands website to learn more about their mission. If possible, consider supporting their cause and vision. Such homes are scarce but vital.
