Jehova Jireh Haven say a BIG Thank You!

February 14, 2018

 

Dear St Stephen’s community

Jehova Jireh Haven and the Kelly family wish to extend our utmost gratitude for the generosity of the St Stephen’s community. Your support allowed 89 orphans and 14 carers to enjoy a Christmas celebration that they will remember for a long time. They had a lovely Lamb Spit topped off with chocolate brownies. The children also enjoyed face painting, a bouncy castle, fairy floss and a camera booth.

Each child received a gift bag filled with a toy, new clothes, underwear, toiletries, stationary and, of course, lollies.

We are blessed to be part of this community.

Yours sincerely,

Dale Kelly

South African Service Tour 2017

March 19, 2017

The South Africa Service Tour departs on the 28th of March – we ask for your prayers as our students and staff endeavour to complete some fantastic work in disadvantaged communities.

On Saturday our students raised $1454 at a Joondalup Bunnings sausage sizzle – we are really proud of their efforts.

This combines with the $750 that each student has raised as part of their tour commitment.

Our aim is to build a laundry facility at Jehova Jireh Haven out of a reconstructed shipping container.

Much of the structural work has already been completed in South Africa and our students will add the finishing touches such as painting the outside, plumbing the washing machines, paving the outside and setting up washing lines.

The Haven has previously hand washed the laundry for over 140 children. The container laundry facility will hopefully be a massive blessing to their lives.

The students are also building a giant jungle gym that will cater for the children at the haven – we will certainly post pictures of their efforts. If last year’s netball courts are anything to go by then we aim to surprise everyone with a giant jungle gym set up.
