Well things are going well at Isiaiah 54.


After 2 Skips which were donated by Wasteman, all the rubbish has been taken away and the place is really starting to look good.

Our vegetable garden already has spinach, beetroot, carrots and a few other veges growing, and keith is busy putting up the fence so the dogs dont go into the garden.

We now have a gate between the Volunteers house and Isiaiah so it is much easier to get to the houses.

The grass seed that was planted for us by Lloyd of Sword of the Spirit, has grown beautifully and has even had its first cut.

The girls have started painting the outside wall and we are awaiting the paint to finish that.

The kitchen, well, I am about to go the the press, the radio and anyone else that will listen to me.  They have promised every day that they are on their way, well they still are on their way, and we are still waiting.  We have got the shell of the cupboards, but nothing else.  No stove to cook for 3 weeks now and washing the dishes outside for 12 weeks. This is what you call service from our wonderful South African companies.  If murder was a prospective answer I think I would probabley resort to that, but unfortunately, we are called to forgive and forget, very difficult under the circumstances but, I will keep on trying.

We are busy with a project now to give a christmas party to approximately +3000 people in the Wentworth area where we prodominantly work.  Last year we were able to feed and give gifts to 350 children, we would now like to include the elderly as well this year, a mamoth task but we will succeed.

Some pictures of the supposed to be kitchen, and as you can see how Isiah feels about it all.


Well that is all for now.


Love you all
