DBC Life Trust

What is the DBC Life Trust and what does it do?

The DBC Life Trust was established by Durbanville Baptist Church to show that Jesus Christ is relevant today. We believe it is our privilege to share His love while practically helping people with daily life challenges. Our goals are as follows:
    • Share Jesus’ love by supporting people in need.
    • Address real-life challenges facing our community.
    • Demonstrate faith in action by serving our society.

This mission is part of our commitment to loving God and loving our neighbours.

  1.   Support of pensioners (retired pastoral couples) who are living with extreme needs.  For most their only income is the SASSA grant they receive from the government.  We presently are able to contribute a further R1000/month to 35 people/couples.  We are deeply grateful to God and those who have enabled this over many years.
  2.   Sinekamva QualiEdu Pre-School was opened in April 2021, for children between 3-6 years old. It is a Christian Pre-School but inclusive to all that want to attend. Presently Sinekamva, situated in Wallacedene, works with 90 children and their families
  3.   Homework Club in Delft:   
  4.   Farm Schools:  We have a missionary whose ministry is to farm workers and their children.  She helps in so many ways to give these men and women, boys and girls the opportunity to thrive.  
  5.   Help in Crisis:  Crisis relief looks different every time. From helping when homes have been flooded or burnt down, to stepping in to help after riots, bringing relief to farmers and farm workers, to handing out food vouchers to the impoverished.  It looks different in each situation.  But such a joy and privilege to help.
