Before COVID God had laid a vision on my heart - to minister and counsel children through the medium of sport and exercise, coupled with life skills training and coaching. The Lockdown put a stop to our plans, but all the while this idea never left me.

At one of the Nuweleweland Aftercare meetings we learned that there were children in our aftercare who lacked coping mechanisms and needed our help. In our own backyard were the children who could benefit from this sport and fitness ministry! After careful consideration we have decided to create a program which would allow grade 5 to 7 boys to come for fitness training while being taught life skills. The program will be called Break Free Ministries. The dream is to later expand the program for girls and other age groups to join as well.

A part of the youth center has been allocated to create a gym and exercise area. We have some big dreams for this space and need your help.

1. Pray - Please pray with us that the ministry will be effective. We are trusting God for guidance, healing, discipleship, friendship and the establishment of Truth in each child.
2. Donate - We have a limited budget and would appreciate any donation of gym equipment, new or used. Financial contributions are also welcome.

Long term we hope that we can open this gym to be used by our church members, too.

Please help us achieve this.

Yours sincerely,
Coach Richard Thomson
