  1. Khomas Homeless Development Organisation W/O 379 P.O. Box 24442 Cell: 0813605152 Windhoek E-mail: sawycw1@gmail.com Presentation 1 April 2014 Charles W Sawyers Founder

  2. Background: reason for khomas homeless development organization (KHDO) • The Lord spoke to me in 1989 through a vision while I was waiting for my trial. During that time I was not a believer. • In 2005 the Lord came into my life and transformed me in a powerful way. One morning I woke up sober, something that was completely strange for me. Up to that point I was totally an alcoholic. A week after this, the Lord also set my free from smoking completely. Since that time, the Lord guided my on the road following Him step by step until today.

  3. Background: reason for khomas homeless development organisation • Now back to the vision God gave me at that time. I saw myself walking in an eastern direction with a bag full of seeds and as far as my eye could see, the land was plowed. As I walked I sowed the see on the plowed land. • I believe that the homeless people are the plowed land and that the Lord called me to sow in this land.

  4. The purpose of khdo • The Khomas Homeless Development Organisation (KHDO) is a Non-Profit Making organization which was established to provide the homeless and needy with the necessary skills and training to become empowered, self-sufficient and independent individuals to reduce poverty. • It is our aim to uplift the living standards of the people living on the streets by reconnecting them with the churches and families and to improve their spiritual lives. • The main objective of the Khomas Homeless Development Organisation is to rehabilitate and impart skills that foster independence and so promote self-sufficiency.

  5. How do we do this? • KHDO is ‘a registered welfare organisation. The Ministry of Health and Social Services approved an application for funding and we are very grateful for this. • As the aims of KHDO is to uplift the living standard of the homeless, we provide them with food and clothes. Previously we could only do this twice a month but now this is done daily at the Church of the Nazarene in Khomasdal.

  6. How do we do this? • The registration of the homeless is one of the first things that we need to do. • We then invite them to come to the Church of the Nazarene. • Here, they first sit and listen to the Gospel message. We invited the pastors of Khomasdal to come and help with serving the Word of God.

  7. HOW • The volunteers try where possible to go into conversation with the homeless people and in this way befriend them. • We are in partnership with the Philippi Trust Namibia who will come and serve the people with Christian Counselling. • Possibility of starting a green scheme there at the Church of the Nazarene.
