Thank you to Prophet Leon and Este-Lee du Preez and the incredible leaders and people at Encounter Church. We recently had a delightful visit from a team from Encounter Hope of Encounter Church. They bought gifts and did playtime time with the vulnerable and abandoned children in our rescue home. The children here at Hopelands had a wonderful time
