On Wednesday, 19 July in partnership with Cress Safety Consulting and D&E Safety and Training Services, Bethel Fellowship held a training programme which trained and educated about 70 people of all ages who were willing to learn. “We want to give them the tools to better themselves by improving their skills and making them employable. In helping one person, we are helping a whole family. The vision of the church is to be the change needed in this community,” said Pastor Chetty.
Those who enrolled for the programme will be certified and MERSETA accredited. “The community members are learning first aid, firefighting and safety.”
