New / Gently Used 14-Seater Vehicle   $37,500 / R650,000
We hope to raise enough funds to buy an additional 14-seater van for our families. Transporting a large, 10-plus person family to church, or anywhere for that matter, can be a logistical nightmare and a costly exercise when relying on public transport.  With the rising prices of everything due to unprecedented post-Covid inflation, we anticipate that we would need to look at a gently-used vehicle, rather than a new one. As such, we’ve allowed for a target amount of R650 000 (+-$37 500) for a suitable vehicle.

Solar Power system (start up funds) $37,500 / R650,000
We hope to raise an equal amount  towards the installation of a site-wide solar power system for the homes and school at Bethesda. South Africa is currently experiencing the worst energy crisis our country has ever seen, and consequently, we need to make provision for an alternative, stable source of electricity without continuing to be reliant on SA’s state owned, (and only) electricity supplier. Thankfully, God has blessed South Africa with an extraordinary amount of sunshine, and it makes good sense to utilise that optimally.
