New Release Soon !

Please pray for us as we finalise an exciting new course to be run OUTSIDE of the prisons. Many inmates are not properly prepared for release, and we will shortly be releasing a new program, Entitled
My New Life    or in Zulu,  Impilo Yami Entsha  
This course will be run at the Community Services offices (Parole Boards) and if you would like to be an instructor, teaching the practical issues of re-integration, please contact Graham on his email.

We would just like to thank all the Team members, who work so unselfishly in ministering to the inmates. This is not a popular calling, and most of us have been affected by crime in one way or another.

Crime continues to be a major thorn in our beautiful country's life, but to use an old cliche, "How do you eat an elephant - one bite at a time", so it is with inmates. Each one we reach and change, makes a difference and many ex-offenders who have been properly rehabilitated, are our most ardent workers.

We can reach many more with your help, either practical assistance or financially. Every R25 helps us put 1 inmate through a course (7 months long) that teaches Moral Regeneration .

Just imagine if 1000 of the just over 8000 who will get this newsletter link, would sign a debit order for R30/month what a difference we could make together. Ukuphula Iketanga is a registered Non-Profit Organisation, as well as a PBO (Public Benefit Organisation). This means that donations can be tax deductible in terms of Section 18A of the Tax Axt.

Please pray earnestly over this request, YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
