This Christmas, December 25 to January 9, hip-hop artist Archie will be going back to South Africa for the 3rd time to assist his brother and missionary from Nigeria, named Fola, who has been feeding children in a slum neighborhood daily for years. Through his faithfulness, he has acquired use of land in which he has been farming to supplement the meals he brings. He recently was able to purchase a cooker that has enabled him to provide warm food for this community. There is much work to be done to help this ministry.
One of the most urgent needs is to provide walls for the facility in which the children are fed. The building has a roof, but no walls to block the elements. In the winter, the children sometimes run up shivering without coats or shoes to get their meal.
The land he is farming on needs work to enlarge the area used for farming. Fola would also like to dig a pond to be able to grow fish to provide a great source of protein as well as a possible source of income for local workers he would like to employ. We would also like to build a greenhouse to help with year-round farming.
Here is a video of the previous trip that took place in South Africa:
How?
One of the ways Archie will be going about raising funds for this trip is a campaign he is doing called “25 by 100.” How this works is the total amount of money needing to be raised is $2,500 (which includes flight, food, transportation/gas & housing). If 100 people give $25 dollars, he will raise enough funds to pay for his trip.
Your $25 IS going to change the lives of many young African children and adults alike. If you feel lead to give more than $25, that is great as well.
Another way
They will also be selling shirts that you have the ability to purchase in order to support the trip as well.
Shirts are $10 for S-XL and $12 for XXL & XXXL.

Archie will be keeping us updated on the progress and what takes place while he is in ZA. He prays this finds you well and you would consider supporting the people of South Africa!
