Standing in the Gap: Supporting Missionaries Rebuilding Hope in Rural Lusikisiki

Dear Friend and Supporter,

The Johann Grobler Foundation is standing alongside those who bring hope to under served communities. Today, we’d like to introduce you to Nomntu and Lambo (their photo > bottom of the page)—a missionary couple who have returned to their roots in rural Lusikisiki, Eastern Cape, after serving in Klerksdorp and greater Johannesburg.

Driven by their passion and calling to serve, they are now re-establishing themselves as missionaries in this deeply rural part of South Africa. Their vision is simple: to bring support and hope to communities facing deep social and economic hardship.

However, their return has not come without unexpected challenges.

Lambo had secured a job at a local funeral home to support their household, but the opportunity fell through without notice. This sudden loss of income has placed the family under considerable strain, especially in covering essentials such as rent, electricity, and chronic medication for their children. Some medication may not always be available through government clinics.

In the face of these challenges, Nomntu and Lambo have not stood still. Nomntu has begun sewing items to generate income, and they are working with local partners to set up a small food stall. These initiatives show promise, but will take time to become sustainable.

How You Can Help

To help them through this critical transition period, we are seeking donors or partners who can contribute toward their monthly living expenses of $380 (approx. R7,000). This support will serve as a lifeline while they stabilize their income and continue their impactful work in the Lusikisiki community.

If you are in a position to help, or if you know of someone that can assist, we ask that you please reach out. Every contribution makes a meaningful difference. 

Payment Options: (via PayFast)

Send a WhatsApp to: +27738750513 or
email johanngrobler607@gmail.com with the amount you want to contribute, and we will send a secure PayFast link. 

Warm regards,

Johann Grobler

Mamma Gladys Gave Many Hope — Let’s Keep It Burning

Image
There are some people whose love is so unconditional and unwavering, that it shapes the course of lives and leaves behind a legacy that echoes far beyond their years. Mamma Gladys , the founder of Door of Hope in Port Elizabeth, was one of those people. She was not only the heart behind Door of Hope; she was a mother, a grandmother, a mentor, and a relentless force of encouragement. Countless days after work I could go and sit with her and we share life. The good and the bad. And I have always walked out with a lot of weight lifted from my shoulders. Always. She was also a mother and grandmother to my son, and instrumental in his upbringing. Mamma Gladys believed that encouragement was one of God’s most joyous art forms. With every warm embrace, every whispered prayer, every tough conversation, and every shared laugh, she reminded us that love is looking around and seeing a need - then stretching out a helping hand. She soldiered on when things were hard. She served with joy regard...

The Philosophy behind our Logo and Slogan: The Johann Grobler Foundation

Community Centered, Collaboration, Impact: To be Community Centered  represents the Foundation to understanding communities or groups. Without good insight of a community, one would not be able to provide support that makes a lasting, positive difference. Think of it in marketing terms. If a business has its target market wrong, and do not understand what their customers need, or fail to respond to how the market changes, it is bound to set itself up for failure.  We are guarded against prejudice and stereotyping when it comes to serving others, as those are two factors that will collapse relationship building, communication and understanding those whom we serve. Accountability and transparency are integral components of building and maintaining relationships with all our stakeholders. Collaboration  is a way we organize and set ourselves up in order to achieve a common goal. One brick can not build a home, but skillfully placed bricks together form secu...
