MOVE BEYOND CHARITY
The CHURCH ALLIANCE FOR SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION (CAST) is a registered non-profit organisation based in Durban, South Africa. We journey with local churches towards the peace and justice of God within neighbourhoods.
Life in South Africa is hard for most people: extraordinary levels of poverty, hunger, unemployment and crime make life extremely difficult for the average South African. But, we believe in the power of the local church to bring Jesus’ light, love and hope to the hardest-to-reach places; there is a church in every township, suburb and far-flung rural community. Where there are people, the church is present, and we, at CAST, are passionate about journeying with- and equipping these churches to be able to work towards “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven” (Matt 6:10).
We have served in marginalised and excluded communities through local churches for the past 16 years. As an organisation, we have worked closely with other practitioners, theologians and church leaders from around South Africa in developing a tried and tested model of local missions and community outreach that is rooted in both scripture and sound sustainable development practices. But, more than just an organisation, we are an Alliance: of local churches, Christian leaders, faith-based non-profit organisations and ordinary Christians who are committed to living out their faith in the world around them.
Our Vision
Our vision is to see the church active and engaged in their communities and working towards more of the peace and justice of God being evident in their neighbourhoods and world.
Our Mission
We journey with local churches to restore the peace and justice of God in the world. We do this through aligning, equipping and empowering local churches to transform their communities.
