The Red Rocks Church Team was here for 12 days, and what they accomplished in that short time is pretty amazing. Things may have seemed a little disjointed and scattered at times, but Lincoln and I get to see the overall big picture and we know that what the team did will make a lasting impact on communities and individuals.
The Red Rocks Team:
- Built two homes for families living in deplorable conditions in a squatter camp
- Prepared a community garden for AIDS patients
- Built a guard shack near the community garden
- Got two computers set up and running with software for the orphan program in Freedom Park
- Spent countless hours loving and mentoring orphans and vulnerable children in Freedom Park, Phokeng and at the Lighthouse Children's Shelter
- Did two photo studio outreaches
- Brought food and water to destitute AIDS patients living in tin shacks
- Installed two deep sinks in the Lighthouse Shelter bathroom that will be used for bathing babies
- Did odd jobs around the Lighthouse Shelter including pulling weeds and painting
- Paid the salaries of the Lighthouse child-caregivers and groundskeepers for the month
- Visited patients in several different AIDS hospices with Dr. Neil
- Helped a young mother get the medical care she desperately needed. She was so sick that she could no longer take care of herself or her 4 year old child. The team arranged and paid for her child to be cared for while the mother recovers.
Many thanks to the Red Rocks team!!
