Grace Family Church ‘makes a difference’ in the lives of others by addressing poverty through community relief and development.
Grace Family Church addresses poverty through collaboration and partnerships with donors, a network of Non-Profit Organisations (NPOs), volunteers, and beneficiaries. This is achieved through two non-profit entities: Container Ministry and Grace Aid. Container Ministry focuses on community relief by building meaningful relationships and partnerships with a network of non-profit organisations. These NPOs are supported and empowered through a yearly conference, regular training, day missions, and direct mentorship. Local and international donations of food and other resources are distributed through these organisations to those who need it most. Our passion is not just to feed the hungry but to see holistic development and growth in the lives of individual people. This is achieved through Grace Aid’s development programs where we walk a journey of transformation and mentorship that moves individuals from a relief mentality to becoming agents of change in their own lives and in their community. Grace Aid offers a program with a process of development starting with a Christian-based life skills program, sewing and crochet training, job readiness training, and small business training. All our programs have a strong focus on empowering, uplifting, building capacity, and promoting self-help. Our desire is to see participants able to provide a sustainable living for themselves and their families. Building relationships and mentorship are crucial aspects of everything we do at Container Ministry and Grace Aid. Container Ministry and Grace Aid are able to provide donors with Section 18A tax certificates and various BEE scorecard points.

We hosted a follow-up two-day mushroom-growing seminar led by Dr. Rick Guiterrez, building on the beginner course held earlier this year. Tandeka, who is also one of our sewing trainers, has already made 20 mushroom-growing buckets and has started selling her mushrooms in punnets. This is in addition to the eggs and chickens she sells, which she learnt about through our earlier farming seminars.
