TABITHA MINISTRIES - Luke 10:9
Care & Support for the Infected and Affected
March 2014 Newsletter
Time Marches on this Month! This month has flown by at Tabitha. Our kids
competed in a gym & choir competition and had a
cricket match versus Pelham. Our interns have
been hard at work tutoring our kids, sharing Christ
with patients in Sweetwaters, and doing daily
devotions with the children of the Hope Centre in
the mornings and the evenings. We also worked
with the SPCA to provide better healthcare for the
animals in the Sweetwaters area this month.
Renovations are also in full swing!
Fantastic Gymnastics
On March 14th, The Tabitha
kids competed in a gym
competition. We won many
awards. Tim Tim (level 2),
Ingi (level 2 gymstar),
Bunny (gymstar 1), and
Nzuzo (gymstar 1) all
received golds. Amanda
(level 2 gymstar) and Lulu

Mandy (level 3) and Esther

bronze medal. We are so
proud of our gymnasts.
Mandy even competed
against teens but placed 3rd.
We are so proud of them!
Howick Choir Festival Our Christian Life Academy choir travelled to Howick. They participated in a
festival with schools who learn under the ACE curriculum. It was at the Oasis
Church in Howick. The director complimented them on their enthusiasm and
ability to harmonize.
KFC Mini Cricket
Guard of Honour
On 15 March, our boys
cricket team went to
the Oval to be
recognized by the
Eastern province team.
They received medals

Intern Impact
Our interns are doing
a great job mentoring
the children
spiritually. They
provide a small group
devotion in the
mornings and
evenings. Each intern
mentors 4-6 children.
They also share the
gospel on home visits
in Sweetwaters.
Bringing Healing to the Whole Sweetwaters community.
Tabitha partnered with friends of the SPCA and sponsored a few days
where the people of the Sweetwaters community could bring their pets
to our community centre to received free pet health care. Animals were
fed, vaccinated, and neutered to improve the overall health of the
animal as well as the human community of Sweetwaters
