Personal message

Dear Friends and Fellow Believers,

Grace and peace to you all. I come to you with a humble heart and a prayerful spirit, seeking support for my father, [Sidney], who has recently been diagnosed with cataracts. His steadfast dedication as a pet groomer, bringing joy to many through his service, is now threatened by the clouds that have dimmed his vision.

As we face this challenge, we draw strength from Philippians 4:13 – "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." We believe that through faith, prayers, and the generosity of kind hearts, we can overcome this obstacle.

Sidney has dedicated his life to serving others, and now it is our turn to serve him. The cost of cataract surgery is approximately R25,000 per eye, and without medical aid, this burden becomes heavy for a government pensioner.

In Matthew 7:7, we are reminded to "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." With this in mind, we humbly ask for your support. Your contributions will not only help restore Sidney's vision but will also allow him to continue his meaningful work and share God's love through his service.

To ensure your donations directly benefit Sidney, all proceeds will be paid directly to the surgeon who performs the surgery. Any funds raised above the target amount will be a testament to God's abundance, and we commit to donating the excess to God First Church - Benoni, in gratitude and support of their mission.

No amount is too small, and every prayer and donation is deeply appreciated. Let us come together as a community of faith, embodying Galatians 6:2 – "Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."

Thank you for being the hands and feet of Christ during this challenging time. May God's grace abound in your generosity, and may Sidney experience the miracle of renewed sight through the love and support of our Christian community.

Blessings and gratitude, Stephen
