Joy Klimbashe who was one of the first people we met on our scouting trip in Sweet Home is working to plant the first ever church in Sweet Home. They have a plot of land but do not yet have rights to the land. Sweet Home is an informal settlement meaning someone other than the residents own the land. The local government has been trying to secure the land from the owner so they can bring in services and give "tenure" to the residents. The church also needs this to happen. Joy would like to make this a community center where the after school program, the HIV/AIDs support group, the alcohol recover program can meet and also a place of worship.
This is a picture of the location where he would like to build the building.
Please pray that the land for all of sweet home can be purchased by the government and the residents given tenure. This would also allow for the church plant to move forward. Pray that Joy Klimbashe can is vision for Sweet Home come true.
