LOTS# has identified a ‘gap in communication’ and are not effectively reaching black people in the same way that white people are more willing to open up to us. For this we need people who have a command of the various languages to assist in a more effective ministry. Despite interactions with Ekurhuleni Real Estate and Social Services, LOTS# does not have any facilities and hence the ‘license’ to set any expectations is not possible; Free rehabs are hosted by Gauteng and Ekurhuleni Social Services where the rehab provides limited time and medication for a total rehabilitation, but this also depends on the intentions of the addict. LOTS# works by Faith as in Hebrews 11: 1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. In line with this, never have we been exposed to rain on a Thursday night that could dampen our enthusiasm and outreach – praise to our Lord Jesus Christ. For those wanting to join LOTS#, be it for a one-time experience, or on a regular basis, we go out every Thursday night, departing from the Alberton Methodist Church at around 19h00 in summer and 18h00 in winter – all are welcome, irrespective of age or denomination.

There have been times when finances have been in short supply but God is Good, all the time, and we have never been short of food with deep freezers stocked most of the time (fortunately no power outages – Praise to God!) In addition, LOTS has been blessed with weekly donations of fresh vegetables and fruit from the Fresh Fruit Market. All such donations are either used or the excess distributed through the H.E.L.P Forum (Help Empower Less Privileged), set up by Jorg, Tammy (Alberton Victim Support) and Eric, to understand the outreach activities of organizations operating in the greater Alberton area for the purpose of referral and to reduce duplication of effort by being HIS hands and feet in Alberton.

Why Donate?

There have been cases in the past where street people have passed on without a dignified burial. Alberton Methodist Church, amongst other denominations, have opened their doors as an opportunity to ‘Minister’ to the lost.

A modern day ‘leprosy’ exists where rehabs do not want to treat some street people because of a medical condition (infected drug administering area), and the hospitals do not want to treat them because they are addicts. In cases such as these, a ‘shelter’ would be a place where medical treatment can be administered by, or under the supervision of an appropriate professional.

The LOTS# primary goal is to acquire a central premises where we can:

interact with those in need on a fulltime basis, without enabling them
restore some dignity and self-worth by providing washing facilities
also call on professional councillors to interact with specific needs
medical help from volunteer doctors, wound care nurses etc.
facilitate ID’s and CV’s

The ultimate LOTS# goal is to provide a shelter to street people and we are currently represented on the Ekurhuleni Homeless Form operating under a Gauteng DSD mandate.
