The Wellington night shelter for the homeless accomodates approximately 30 people. It has been running for 6 months. Under the governance of Ulrich Lottering, CEO of Networking for Christ South Africa (NFCSA), it was offically opened on 15 December 2022. The shelter is run by 2 permanent social workers, 2 social auxillary workers and two supervisors for day and night shift.
At a special Christmas lunch held on 11 December 2022, Bible Media took hands with NFCSA to bless each homeless person with a parcel of Christian books. The homeless shelter also uses Bible Media materials to run spiritual care and growth programs with them. When you listen to their life stories and testimonies of how they became homeless, one cannot help but realise what tough circumstances they came from and have experienced much emotional hurt, anger and brokenness.
The homeless shelter presents the following programs:
- Life skills
- Therapeutic healing sesions
- Family mediation
- Spiritual growth and growth
Die Wellington-nagskuiling bied ’n veilige hawe vir sowat 30 mense. Die skuiling floreer reeds ses maande lank onder leiding van Ulrich (Networking for Christ), maar is eers op 15 Desember 2022 amptelik geopen. Dit word deur twee permanente maatskaplike werkers, twee toesighouers en ’n dagbestuurder beman.
By hierdie spesiale Kersete wat op 11 Desember 2022 gehou is, kon Bybel-Media hande vat met Networking for Christ en vir elkeen van hierdie hawelose mense ’n Bybel en verskeie ander geestelike boekies gee. Die nagskuiling maak ook gebruik van Bybel-Media se Bybelstudiekursusse om die haweloses wat daar tuisgaan geestelik te voed. Wanneer ’n mens na van hulle lewensverhale luister, is dit duidelik dat die lewe hulle stief behandel het. Dit het daartoe gelei dat hulle op straat beland het met soveel gebrokenheid, hartswonde en woede.
Die nagskuiling bied ook die volgende programme vir die haweloses aan:
- Lewensvaardighede
- Terapeutiese sessies
- Gesinshereniging
- Geestelike onderrig
