Merry Christmas

December 11, 2011 – 9:30 pm

Today Living Hope Celebrated Christmas in a very special and memorable way. The evening started with some  Christmas carols being sung in our Chapel and followed by a beautiful message by Pastor John Thomas (Living Hope Chairman and Founder) to the about 100 attendees. After the evening service, guests were invited to stay and learn more about Living Hope’s ministry and to enjoy their packed picnics on the surrounding lawns. With a few moments to spare before dusk, the remaining guests were invited over to the lawn in front of the Health Care Centre to sing some carols to the patients inside the wards – this was truly a beautiful and surely memorable moment for all those you participated.

At dusk, all the guests made their way over to the first ever Living Hope Christmas Celebration and Memorial Tree lighting ceremony. The tree has been a part of a campaign called “Switch on Hope” launched to raise awareness for our Health Care Centre on the property. Due to some heavy funding cuts the Health Care Centre is at risk – the campaign was initiated to create awareness to what Living Hope is about and to get the local and surrounding communities involved in partnership with Living Hope. The lightbulbs on the tree symbolizes the patients that have passed through the Health Care Centre over the years since the Health Care Centre opened its doors in early 2005. The tree will be lit from now until Christmas day to continue raise awareness to the work that Living Hope is doing in this area. And nothing can be more symbolic than the cross at the top of the tree to symbolize the reason for this season.

Thank you so very much to all who attended, you bought lightbulbs and a very special thank you to the following sponsors:

The Life Skills Education Programme work with children and teens in impoverished and challenging home-circumstances in 6 different different communities to bring hope and to show God’s love. Through the various programmes offered the children have a place to feel at home and loved, the South African schools get to learn about Biblical Principles and AIDS Prevention, and it helps to provide godly male and father role models in the communities.

This all gives our communities hope in Christ, helps to build the children with Christ-honoring values and helps to reach South Africa for the Lord. The programmes offered include afternoon children and teens clubs, holiday clubs, school and preschool ministry and parenting workshops to name a few.

The Life Skills program depends on funding from our D.A.D. campaign – and right now we have a donor willing to match all the D.A.D. funding we bring upto 300 D.A.D.’s. So we need you to partner with us to help raise support for this programme.

“Would you be willing to play the fatherly role through the sponsorship of the Life Skills Program and effectively allow these children to have some form of fatherly input through our very dedicated staff? I want to ask you to commit yourself NOW to this program.”  John V Thomas, Chairman and Founder of Living Hope.
