Taste and See that the Lord is Good! Highlights from 2017 Posted about almost 8 years ago

These words from Psalm 34 certainly proved true for 2017. The year was not without its difficult moments; times where all we could do was lean in and trust that God was in this ministry and He was for the work that was being done. In looking back over the past 12 months, there is so much visible evidence of the goodness of the Lord. We believe that the work God has for Take Action Ministry is only getting started!

5 centres (pictured below) received makeovers, either as part of a Celebration Day, corporate or private event. In addition, the Community Centre at Reagoboka was almost completed, building started up again at Maubane Rivoningo and Ditebogo now has an ablution block!

In addition, new financial systems were put in place in March, allowing Take Action to independently and transparently provide accountability to our donors and sponsors. In May, Take Action Ministry was registered as a PBO. This registration allows us to provide Section 18A tax certificates to South African donors, allowing their once-off or monthly donations to be tax deductible. Donors from the USA can also receive a tax deduction by giving through Pure Charity. For more information on how you can give, please contact us at info@takeaction.org.za

All of the amazing things described above would not have been possible without the involvement and support from all of you! Take Action Ministry depends on our volunteers and donors for so much of the work that is done; going out and participating in Celebration Days; advocating for the needs of our partner centres; spreading the word about programs like the Reading Holiday Club, Bible Drive and so much more.

However, there is a great deal of behind the scenes work that is done on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis by members of the operations team. This includes, but is not limited to meeting with various stakeholders in government and private business; working on social media; visiting partner centres on a monthly basis; coordinating and managing the distribution of food donations; handling the financial aspects of running an organization; and making sure we are accountable and transparent in all we do.

In order for Take Action Ministry to do all that God has called us to, we are looking for people or companies to parner with us financially. We have worked out a budget for 2018 that will allow us to continue serving our partner centres in the greater Hammanskraal area and also grow unto a few new areas that God has been nudging us towards.

If you are able to give on a monthly or once off basis, or if you would like to know more about our proposed budget, please contact Annelien on 082 441 6298 or annelien@takeaction.org.za
