Welcome

Just as God is working in Mexico, the horizons have broadened for Amor Ministries in South Africa! After a successful pilot program in Ennerdale, Johannesburg in March 2008, God continues to build new relationships and open doors to expand the ministry worldwide.

In some respects similar to Mexico, South Arica, despite a strong infrastructure, still suffers from economic and social problems from the apartheid era. As a result, one third of the population lives on less than two dollars a day so that extreme poverty in rural areas continues to drive people to the cities in search of employment. With almost 10 million South Africans living in poverty housing, overcrowded shacks pieced together with cardboard, corrugated iron, and scrap wood are grouped together in "townships” surrounding the modern cities. The occupants of these townships are predominantly black South Africans who often live without adequate services—the very conditions that Amor hopes to change.
