Lost in Faith

Formerly (little) known as Pondoland for Christ has now become Mercy Alliance International.

Mercy Alliance International is comprised of Shoal Creek Community Church, Westside Family Church, Indian Creek Community Church, HuntSA, Oceans of Mercy, Luvoyo Bible School and leaning on University of Ft. Hare, C3 Missions, ThriveAfrica and Doctors for Life Int’l. Truly an ALLIANCE!

Our first project is an Orphan Care Center in Seleni, South Africa. This Care Center will be the central place for the care of orphans, agricultural educational, HIV/AIDS training, spiritual formation, teaching Leadership Summit material in public schools and legal aid for accessing the social service system in South Africa.

Each Center will cost about $40,000 to build and about $2000 a month to maintain. Seleni is a model for the 1000 other villages in the Transkei. Once we get this model fully operational, we will be ready to secure churches and organizations to join the alliance and pop up these little redemptive places called Orphan Care Centers all over the Transkei.
The fence is being built around the OCC in Seleni. We hope to have the structure up by July and operational by September.

This July we are planning on returning with two physicians from the US to build a coalition with South African Doctors and nurses. Ron Haffey a member of the last trip over is busy locating a mobile medical unit that we can use to deliver quality medical care including cataract surgery. We have a line on several possibilities. The cost of these vehicles may approach $250,000!

If you are interested in going, the next trip available is September 10-21. Two teams will be focused on construction and community education.
