History:

Welcome is a Zimbabwean, now living in Johannesburg. He very quickly proved to be an extremely effective administrator and leader. We met him through Zodwa establishing a relationship with his church and training group of people to be Smart Choices presenters.  He quickly showed his leadership abilities and out of the alliance between BICC (Brethren in Christ Church) and Zodwa’s Ebenezer Christian Fellowship, a non-profit organization was formed.  This nonprofit is SCSAP (Smart Choices South Africa Partners). Welcome has a solid group of about eight team members. In 2016 Welcome activated a second team. He has enough appointments to keep two teams occupied. Welcome appointed Seabird Siziba as his second team leader. Welcome also took over the leadership of the Team in Soshanguve in the northwestern Gauteng province of South Africa and trained Samual Makura to be the team leader.

The Johanesburg and Soshanguve teams under Welcomes leadership have established a partnership with organization founded by Bruce Wilkinson, Walk Through The Bible.  The SCSAP teams have reaching large numbers of children using NTLive (New Testament Live) and OTLive (Old Testament Live).

Beacon of Hope also arranged for training for the SCSAP teams on the curriculum called It Takes Courage, produced by Kerus Global Education.  This curriculum is extremely effective in developing character and life skills for healty life choices.

Prayer:

They operate in an areas of Johannesburg that is seriously rundown. There is a high rise building right across the street from the BICC church with broken out windows and I am sure that alcohol and drug abuse is rampant there. My prayer for these teams is that they would find a way to expand their activity beyond the schools and start presenting the Smart Choices and the Gospel to the adults in this area.
