Help Word on the Street (WOTS) let our street-based friends and neighbours know we haven’t forgotten about them!
We are going to go out and share some soup with those that would usually grab a bit to eat with us on the 5 August 2021.
Hard lockdown in 2020 was a time of great pain, fear and disconnection and was especially felt by our friends in the WOTS ministry. As our teams were unable to go on outreach or to host dinners, we had to find ways of letting our friends know that they were still loved and cared for. We did this in many creative and loving ways … but we were so grateful when we were able to return to weekly outreach and monthly dinners.
The dinners have been held outside CCK around fires in Covid compliant ways monthly since July last year. Our guests have expressed how much these times of connection, prayer and being the church together means to them. It means a lot to us as the WOTS team too. While WOTS is a ministry that focuses on healing and pathways out of prostitution, at our dinners, we welcome anyone from the neighbourhood, men and women, who live and work on the streets.

While cape Town is still battling the third wave and we wait until a safer time to gather, we want to make sure that our friends know we have not forgotten them.
