A Rural ChurchCESA see its mandate as reaching the people of South Africa with the good news of Jesus Christ.

From a small and scattered group of Christian in 1938 we now have congregations among all the different ethnic groups of South Africa. Our work stretches into Namibia, Malawi and Zimbabwe. Mission teams regularly visit Mozambique.

 

 

Children at "Lily of the Valley"In addition to the task of evangelism and church growth, we have established eleven schools and pre-schools throughout the counrty. A community centre has been established in the huge township of Khayelitsh outside Cape Town. A remarkable ministry of compassion has developed in Kwa-Zulu/Natal where Kees and Anita Keyser have established an AIDS centre for babies with HIV. This centre is called "Lily of the Valley" and provides not only care for the dying but education for parents as well. To visit this centre is to be deeply challenged.  We are commited to planting new churches in different communities as regularly as possible.  There ar groups throughout the country and further north who would like to affiliate with us, but at present we cannot provide either the personnel or the finances to accommodate all the additional responsibility.
