Beam Africa

Just a short drive from most cities in South Africa, you will find poor slum areas, or townships. In Nellmapius, one of these townships just outside the capital city of Pretoria, children go to bed hungry at night. There is over 50% unemployment and many are dying of AIDS. Many of these orphaned children live in tin shacks on their own.

Beam Africa runs a Christian development center in the heart of Nellmapius. Their desire is to minister to the least of these; to bring the hope to the poor, widows and orphans. Each day they feed and clothe 100 children. They also teach skills to adults to help them gain a livelihood. Overall they know only Christ can redeem these people and this country.

This summer we will take a trip to partner with Beam Africa. Our desire is to come alongside them as they minister in Nellmapius.
