cheers, Urgently.

What we also realise in our discussions is that a similar thing is happening in the UK ,,, similar talk and feelings about foreigners taking jobs etc. Perhaps there is little to now agression as in SA, but it made us think, do we only respond to crisis? Why have we, and those in the UK, not addressed the issue loudly before now?

We have had people in our congregation who run bisinesses with a mix of a local and foreign work force. They have had to grapple with the issue of assisting those targetted while standing the chance of violence against themselves.

Some have taken the folk into their own homes, others have been involved in organizing relief aid at police stations.

Our church, Durbanville Community Church, were supposed to have our annual Ministry report meeting at our SUnday meeting today but we can’t have business as usual, so we are addressing the current issue in discussion with all who attend this morning … including some from Malawi and the Congo who we are seeking to help and protect. We are putting a plan of support into action where everyone can do something about it in the name of Jesus.

We need prayer.
