Acts of kindness took centre stage on Saturday, July 26, when a team from Christian Family Church Johannesburg visited Thembalami Care Centre and Max Ordman Deaf Association (MODA) in Lombardy East as part of the church’s annual Serve Our City initiative.
The project mobilises church members to make a tangible difference in their communities, with more than 70 initiatives running this year – from repairing potholes to feeding the homeless.
For this team, the mission was simple: To share love, hope and encouragement with the elderly.
“They may be older, but they are not forgotten,” says team leader Ps Logan Munsamy. “There is still a purpose for them. Some may feel like this is the end, but we brought a message of hope that I believe uplifted their spirits.”
The group consisted of pastors Logan and Charlotte Munsamy; Runean, Urasha and Faith Govender; Rennie, Nerosh and Leavail Pillay; and Altana Kyakutala.
“They served us a wonderful meal, did some spiritual upliftment and shared beautiful music. It was a fantastic day – all the residents enjoyed it,” said Thembalami manager Esmé van der Walt.
