SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

We exist to honour God by establishing Christ-centered, Spirit-empowered and socially responsible churches and campus ministries in every nation.
We believe that God is calling us to be a socially responsible church on personal, congregational and citywide levels.

Temporary Place of Safety for Abandoned Babies

A temporary place of safety for abandoned babies is a specialized short-term care facility that provides 24/7 support and care for newborns and young infants who have been abandoned, orphaned, or surrendered by their parents. We currently have 6 babies in our care, we are excited and expectant to see these little ones grow and see God's purpose for their lives unfold. We also have 8 loving staff ladies who work in 12 hour shifts day and night, we are thankful for a team of people loving and raising our babies together. Our house also consists of volunteers and visitors who spend their time with us, as it truly takes a village to raise children. “God’s heart beats for the vulnerable, and so should ours. The Bible commands us to care for the orphan, the widow, and the foreigner (Deuteronomy 10:19, Psalm 68:5-6, James 1:27). We are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus, to love and serve the least of these (Matthew 25:31-46). Let us open our arms, our hearts, and our homes to the orphan, the abandoned, and the marginalized. Let us be the safe haven, the loving embrace, and the hope-filled future they deserve. For in caring for the vulnerable, we are not only obeying God’s command but also reflecting the very character of our loving Father in Heaven.”

You make a difference by applying to become a place of safety as an individual or a family and make a difference one child at a time. If you would like to know how to get involved at our place of safety or how to become one yourself, please email us at info.havens@enpta.co.za

Dandelei Community Choir

Dandelei Community Choir was established in May 2023. We dream of seeing people from various walks of life and socio-economic circumstances coming together to sing, and in the process, by giving of oneself through singing, finding community and hope.

The word Dandelei is a combination of the words dandelion and leirmotif. Leitmotif is a musical term that refers to a recurring theme throughout a musical composition. This choir's leitmotif is hope, and like a dandelion's seed that spreads far and wide when the wind blows on it, we trust that God's message of hope will spread far and wide through our voices.

Anyone is welcome to join our choir. We are situated in Elardus Park. Time: Mondays 18:00-19:30. Rehearsal venue: NG Kerk Elarduspark
