Read MoreFollowing Jesus' example we at HBC encourage our members to be practical in their outreach. We have partnered with the Cornerstone church nearby as they preach the gospel and feed those in need both physically and spiritually. We make use of the the Challenge News paper as a tool to share the testimonies of the love of Christ. We also have a trauma teddy initiative which reaches to children who have been traumatised, usually by physical or sexual abuse.
Compassion for the community, and being moved by that compassion to minister practically in the lives of the local people, is the example Jesus set as he engaged the people where he lived and travelled.
The accounts of the miracles he performed include a number of times he fed and healed many.
Caring for people especially the widows and orphans did not stop with Jesus but was continued in the early church. Even as Paul went to Jerusalem and confirmed the gospel he was preaching the elders encouraged him to care for the widows and orphans.
Trauma Teddy
These teddies are given to children who have been traumatised, usually by physical or sexual abuse.
We work with SAPS Krugersdorp, who give the teddies to the children for comfort after the abusive event/s and during counselling.
Approximately 400 children under the age of 18 are victims of abuse on the West Rand alone each year – and these are just the cases that are reported.
Please join us in reaching our goal of providing at least 200 teddies each year.
