In Durbin, South Africa, 44% of the population struggles to survive without their basic needs (food, clothing and shelter).

Some friends of mine are headed to South Africa on Sunday. They have family in South Africa, and a new baby niece, to visit, but they’ve chosen to give up part of their vacation to minister in squatter camps and orphanages.

That’s amazing.

These are hard-working people. It’s not like they don’t have enough activity in their lives, but they’re still willing to work through their vacation and give up some of their down-time for the sake of the gospel.

And they need our help.

They were hoping to raise $2000 so they can put together packages of food and household necessities for the people. They have four days, and $600 to go.

Can you help?

Can you pitch in even $20?

They’re giving up their vacation. Can you give up a couple Starbucks runs, or have date night at home this week, to help them out? Clicky.
