"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." (James 1:27)

Much of the focus of Mission Sebenzela is to help meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the children of Africa. There are over 1 million orphans in South Africa alone and at least that many more live in intolerable and dangerous conditions. The ministry seeks abandoned and vulnerable children and finds places of safety for them, serves those orphans living in home-based care, works with partners to offer after-school programs, and has plans to launch an additional shelter. Moreover, Mission Sebenzela has helped to plant a children's church in a rural area outside of Johannesburg.
