COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
From Joburg to Botleng, we are involved in our local communities
Homes for the homeless
PARTNERSHIP WITH AMOR MINISTRIES
The Antioch Initiative and Ebenezer Farm have partnered with Amor Ministries in giving hope back to the less privileged people in Botleng, Delmas. Since 2009, a total of 39 homes have been built, providing shelter for families and orphanages. Three local churches benefited from 2016's project. Potter's House, Living Word, and Real Life Ministries. Five homes were built in 2016.
Building an inclusive and effective team
SECURITY PARTNERSHIP WITH APRA
South Africa has one of the highest crime rates in the world, with Johannesburg being particularly hard hit. It is therefore highly important that individuals, private security companies, and local police all work together for the safety and betterment of the community. The Antioch Initiative has, with the help of the Auckland Park Residents Association (APRA), led Auckland Park towards more comprehensive security solutions.
A better neighborhood for everyone
NEIGHBORHOOD ENGAGEMENT
The Antioch Initiative helps host seasonal meetings for our street to discuss concerns and build relationships. We have helped to host a monthly clean-up with neighbors, police, and security companies all involved. Our learners are critical participants at these events. These are great opportunities meet real needs and to share the gospel and show the love of Christ in practical ways.
