A Church Planted in a South African Township (VIDEO)
In the Westlake community of Cape Town, South Africa, people live in extreme poverty, often building shacks on their government-issued property so they can rent out the housing they cannot afford. Susan Newkirk, a career missionary serving the community in Westlake village, working with Pastor Hendrik Janson and others, has seen the evolution of God's work in the community. They've been encouraged to see how something that started with a soccer ministry, and a girls Bible club, and a feeding program has grown to include women’s ministry, one-on-one discipleship, and now this church plant, the first Reformed church in the community. It’s happened organically. People now feel they're a part of something that’s right there in their community.
