Pastor Henry Mhlanga, the Pastor at Savannah Park Baptist Church has been journeying with CAST since 2022 through our emergency relief initiative to assist flood victims in the area with food, clothing, and other essential items. “We were in terrible need,” he says. “CAST came along, lent a hand and gave us hope in that situation.” Pastor Henry describes his community as economically disparate between those who have the means to survive, and others who live in abject [...]
Our partner, Redeemed Baptist Family Church has also made good use of the torn sample clothing donated to CAST to establish a sewing group that is helping women in the community of Noodsberg to learn new skills and generate an income.
We are so grateful that we could assist our partner, Worship Centre Church in Umbilo, to establish a sewing group training project, training unemployed women, and using clothing donated to CAST to generate an income. This church serves a broad community of refugees from African countries and seeks to help the women to become economically-empowered.
We so appreciate all those who supported CAST this year which helped us to equip our partner churches during very difficult times. We wish you all a blessed and safe Christmas as we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus

We praise God for working through us to serve others
We are so proud of the leaders from our partner church in Mariannridge (outer-west Durban), Kingdom Connect Ministries who have successfully implemented the Sinoxolo Trauma Counselling programme at our CAST Community Centre in the area. This community is sadly plagued by substance abuse, violence, and joblessness which has worsened since the pandemic and recent devastation in KZN. Thanks again to The Warehouse for developing this course that equips us to help others heal
