Resthaven Ministries, a local organisation dedicated to serving the community since 1973, celebrated the official opening of its new administrative property in Townsview on May 25.
The festive event combined a delightful outdoor tea party with a formal dedication ceremony. Guests enjoyed delicious refreshments and live music by Robyn Dare.
The ceremony itself was a momentous occasion, marked by a ribbon-cutting led by former parliamentarian Manny de Freitas and Pastor Neil Williams, alongside dedicated Resthaven volunteers.
Master of ceremonies Trevor Sturgess of Seeff expertly guided the programme, which featured inspiring speeches from Pastor Kenneth Carew, Pastor Steve Rudd, David Haupt, Pastor Neil Williams and Nicky Vakaloudis from SOJO.
Resthaven Ministries plays a vital role in Johannesburg south, providing services such as soup kitchens, elderly care, assistance for the homeless, and support for orphaned children.
The new property signifies a step forward for the organisation, allowing them to enhance their services and reach more members of the community in need.
“We are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support we received during this special event,” said a spokesperson for Resthaven Ministries.
“The new property will be instrumental in furthering our mission, and we look forward to serving the community for many years to come.”
