Dear Sir/Madam

KingdomSeekers (KSM) Ministries - Overview

KSM is a registered non-profit company (registration number: 2015/321531/08)

founded on sound biblical principles. Our main source of funding is voluntary

contributions from individual members of the public. These funds are utilised to

cover the running expenses of the organisation, as well as various community

projects and outreaches. Below is a list of the projects that we are currently

involved in.

OUTREACHES AND AWARENESS

We are mobilizing Christians in the communities we work with to form prayer groups to pray and evangelize their communities. A number of outreaches are done

to try and be relevant in our communities. We build relationships with people in the communities so that we can identify some of the needs and try to meet them as best as we can. We teach them about God and refer them to the churches we are

connected with. We preach and create awareness at different churches by invitation. We print out flyers to create awareness for the ministry in the

communities. The following are needed; paper, ink, non-perishable food items, clothes, prayer and/or financial partners.

EDUCATION

Our organization provides motivational talks, career guidance, mathematics

tutoring, school uniforms including other school items, counseling and emotional

support to scholars within our reach where we see a need and are able to meet it.

Some of the resources that will be useful are school uniforms that are still in a good

condition, books, calculators, blackboards, crayons, and any other stationary. We

are also trusting God for sponsorships for higher education for the scholars and

financial support for KSM running expenses.

ORPHANAGE We provide regular support to the Thandanani children’s home in an informal

settlement in Zandspruit, Johannesburg. Thandanani provides permanent housing

and care for about 24 children between the ages of 4 - 18 years. Most of the

children are orphans and others have been removed from their homes by social

welfare. The children are of pre-school and school-going age and hence there is a

big need for any school items, e.g. uniforms, shoes, stationary, books, etc. The

orphanage also relies heavily on the public for general provision, e.g. food,

household utensils, maintenance and other basic needs. KSM is constantly keeping

in touch with this Home to identify any needs we are able to meet as a ministry. We

have built good relationships with each of the children by spending time with them

and we know them by name. We provide a little gift for each child for his/her

birthday. They receive maths tutoring where needed, we motivate and give them

Godly counsel. As often as we can, we provide haircuts for the children. They also

need sponsorships for higher education.

WIDOWS AND SINGLE MOTHERS We support some widows and single mothers on a regular basis. Some of their

children do not have good role models in their lives and so we try to fill in the gap.

We stand in as a support to the single mothers. These are some of the things we

provide; household items (i.e. food, toiletries, clothing, etc), financial support,

sponsors to assist with their children’s education, emotional support, counseling,

spending time with them and their families.

HOSPITAL MINISTRY We support work being done in hospitals. Some are public hospitals with a big

contingent of poor and unemployed patients who cannot afford basic necessities.

During these visits people are prayed for including handing out of toiletries, e.g.

soap, facecloths, toothbrushes and toothpastes to patients.

HOMELESS We provide food to some homeless people. Most of these people live on the streets

and are involved in waste recycling to earn some income. We bring a message of

hope to encourage them. We get to know them & their stories. They are in

desperate need of soup, bread, fruit, vegetables, clothes and blankets.

TRAINING AND JOB PLACEMENTS Wherever possible, we are trying to get people trained up with skills they can use to

earn a living in the meantime while also encouraging them to save up to better themselves through further education and/or practical training. We help with CV

guidance and study or work applications. We teach them Godly principles and good ethics. We trust that this will help to produce hardworking men and women of good character who in turn will also want to give back to their communities. We need

financial partners, volunteers who are willing to transfer any soft skill they might have e.g. baking, knitting, hairdressing, computer literacy etc. to assist us with

this.

FUNDRAISER: SECOND HAND BOOKS AND CD SALES

We collect second hand books and CDs and allow people to take them in exchange for a financial donation which goes towards the ministry to help community

members. Second hand books and CD donations are needed for this. New books and CDs are also welcome. Our first preference is Christian material.

You are most welcome to contact our administration office on 0734509100 /

0734506638 , or email [email protected] for further information.

Thank you for your kind consideration in helping the less fortunate in our

communities. Together we can empower people to alleviate poverty.
