ANNOUNCER: THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN MADE POSSIBLE BY
THE FRIENDS AND PARTNERS OF JOYCE MEYER MINISTRIES.

[SINGING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
GINGER: IN THE EASTERN CAPE OF SOUTH AFRICA, THE POOREST
PROVINCE OF THAT NATION, YOU WILL FIND A HIDDEN TREASURE,
A GROUP OF UNKNOWN, YET INCREDIBLY DETERMINED WOMEN
WHO WORK TIRELESSLY DESPITE INCREDIBLY
DIFFICULT CHALLENGES.
THEY ARE THE GRANDMOTHERS, AFFECTIONATELY CALLED MAMAS, WHO
BELIEVE UNWAVERINGLY THAT THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE, NOT ONLY FOR
THEIR OWN FAMILIES, BUT FOR ALL THE CHILDREN GOD BRINGS TO
THEIR DOORS.
THEY ARE GOD'S SECRET WEAPONS, IMPACTING THE WORLD ONE CHILD
AT A TIME.
NOMHIE: FIRST, WE ARE THE PERSON THAT WE GIVE THEM
LOVE AND CARE ALL THE TIME SO THE CHILDREN LOVES US
AND WE LOVE THE CHILDREN.
WE TELL THEM THAT GOD LOVES YOU, THAT YOU MADE BY GOD.
MIRANDA: THERE IS A BIG NEED OF PRESCHOOL.
HERE, YOU SEE YOUNG CHILDREN WAS RAPED AT THE AGE OF 2 YEARS.
SO, I DECIDE TO OPEN THIS PRESCHOOL SO THAT I CAN KEEP
THE CHILDREN HERE.
MIRIAM: I'VE GOT LOVE FOR THE CHILDREN, THAT'S WHAT I'VE
GOT IN MY HEART.
MY VISION IS THAT I HOPE THESE CHILDREN HAVE A NICE FOUNDATION
OF EDUCATION.
GLORIA: THE SMALL CHILDREN WERE ROAMING THE STREETS WITH NO
ONE TO TAKE CARE OF THEM AND PRESCHOOL WAS THE BEST WAY TO
GIVE THE CHILDREN EVERYTHING THEY NEED, SAFETY, FOOD,
AND LOVE.
BRAD: SO, WE ARE CURRENTLY IN THE EASTERN CAPE
OF SOUTH AFRICA AND IT'S EXTREMELY RURAL.
IT'S ALSO THE POOREST PROVINCE IN THE COUNTRY SO THERE'S A
MASSIVE ISSUE WITH UNEMPLOYMENT.
AND WHEN PARENTS ARE TRAVELING TO OTHER TOWNS, OTHER CITIES,
TO TRY AND FIND WORK AND EMPLOYMENT, THESE KIDS ARE
LEFT EXPOSED.
NO CHILD AT THE AGE OF 4 OR 5 YEARS OLD
SHOULD BE LEFT TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES DURING THE DAY.
SO, WE'VE SEEN CHILDREN AND HEARD OF STORIES OF CHILDREN
THAT HAVE BEEN SEXUALLY ABUSED AND PHYSICALLY ABUSED.
WE'VE HAD CHILDREN THAT HAVE BEEN TRAFFICKED.
IT'S A TERRIBLE THING TO SEE.
GINGER: SO, PUTTING A COMMUNITY AROUND THESE CHILDREN,
PROTECTING THEM IS VITAL?
BRAD: ABSOLUTELY, WE DON'T JUST DO THAT, WE BRING THEM IN
AND WHILE WE'VE GOT THEM DOING THE EDUCATION, DOING THE
SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT, HAVING LAUGHTER, AND PLAY, AND FUN,
GOOD NUTRITION, AND LOVE, AND CARE, THERE'S SO MUCH THAT
GOES ON IN THESE CENTERS.
GINGER: SO, HOW DID YOU FIND THE DIFFERENT PARTICULAR PLACES
WHERE WE'RE FEEDING CHILDREN?
BRAD: THROUGH A RELATIONSHIP WITH A LOCAL CHURCH.
THEY HELPED US GET REFERRED ON TO A FEW OF THESE KINDERGARTENS
AND PRESCHOOLS TO GIVE THEM FOOD ASSISTANCE AND FROM THAT, WE
NOTICED THAT THE CLASSROOM CONDITIONS WERE QUITE INADEQUATE
FOR A LOT OF THESE SCHOOLS.
GINGER: NOW, WHEN YOU SAY THE CLASSROOMS WERE INADEQUATE,
I MEAN WE'RE TALKING UNSAFE, UNPROTECTED FROM THE ELEMENTS.
BRAD: YEAH, ABSOLUTELY TRUE.
ONE OF THE FIRST SCHOOLS THAT WE'RE VISITING THIS MORNING
ACTUALLY STARTED UP IN MUD HUTS, AND THE LAST ONE THAT THEY'RE IN
HAD CRACKS IN THE WALLS AND A STORM CAME THROUGH
AND BLEW THE STRUCTURE DOWN.
IT COLLAPSED ENTIRELY.
SO, WHEN WE CONNECTED WITH THIS CENTER, THEY FELT HOPELESS THAT
THEY WERE NEVER GONNA BE ABLE TO GET A QUALITY STRUCTURE.
GINGER: SO, THE QUESTION BECAME NOT IF WE SHOULD HELP,
BUT HOW?
HOW COULD WE POSSIBLY SUPPORT THESE WONDERFUL PEOPLE?
BY PROVIDING SAFE AND EFFECTIVE CLASSROOMS.
HOW TO OVERCOME OBSTACLES LIKE REMOTE LOCATIONS, CONSTRUCTION
LOGISTICS, AND COSTS?
ONE BEAUTIFUL SOLUTION BECAME THE ANSWER TO SO MANY PRAYERS
FOR BEING AFFORDABLE, DURABLE, AND PORTABLE.
WE DISCOVERED THAT WITH MINIMAL MODIFICATIONS, WE COULD
RE-PURPOSE STEEL SHIPPING CONTAINERS INTO STURDY,
APPEALING, AND SAFE CLASSROOM STRUCTURES.
BRAD: WE WANTED TO CREATE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL FOR THE
SCHOOLS SO WE INVESTED IN REALLY GOOD QUALITY INSULATION, ALSO
FOR THE CLASSROOMS, REALLY NICE FLOORS, GREAT WINDOWS, AND
DOORS, AND SOME BRIGHT COLORS ON THE OUTSIDE.
THEY CONTINUE TO STAND IN THE COMMUNITIES AS A REAL BEACON.
MIRANDA: THE PEOPLE ARE LOOKING, "WHAT IS THIS?
WHERE DO YOU GET THESE?" I TOLD THEM THAT FROM GOD.
IT'S ONLY FROM GOD.
EVEN THE COMMUNITY, THEY ARE SO HAPPY ABOUT
THE CLASSROOM OF HOPE.
NOMHIE: I WOULD LIKE TO THANKS TO JOYCE MEYER MINISTRIES
BY ALL WHAT THEY DONE, BUT GOD ANSWER OUR PRAYERS BY HAVING
THOSE CLASSROOMS OF HOPE.
GLORIA: AND NOW THESE CLASSROOMS ARE GIVING OUR
CHILDREN A COMFORTABLE PLACE TO LEARN.
EVEN THE PORRIDGE THAT JOYCE MEYER MINISTRIES
PROVIDES IS MAKING A BIG DIFFERENCE IN THEIR HEALTH.
JOYCE MEYER MINISTRIES HAS SHOWED US THAT EVERYTHING'S
POSSIBLE WITH GOD.
BRAD: YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THE SCHOOLS WE'VE COME TO BE
INVOLVED IN HERE HAVE HAD A CALLING FROM THE LORD DECADES
AGO TO TAKE CARE OF CHILDREN, AND WE HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO
COME ALONGSIDE THEM AND SERVE WHAT GOD'S ALREADY DOING IN
THEIR LIVES AND THAT GIVES THEM THE GREAT FOOT UP TO ACTUALLY
GET OUT OF THE CYCLE OF POVERTY ONE DAY.
GINGER: AND A LOT OF IT IS BECAUSE THEY ARE SO LOVED IN
THESE SCHOOLS AND THEY'RE LEARNING ABOUT CHRIST,
AND THAT'S REALLY THE KEY FOR US, ISN'T IT?
BRAD: YEAH, LOVE OVERCOMES SO MUCH AND THESE ENVIRONMENTS
ARE SO BEAUTIFUL.
AND THE LOVE FROM THE TEACHERS, THE LOVE FROM THE CHILDREN, IT'S
REALLY BEAUTIFUL TO WALK INTO.
GINGER: LOOK AT MY BEAUTIFUL LITTLE FRIEND HERE, THIS IS
MEMORY AND SHE HAS SOME OF THE MOST WONDERFUL EYES I HAVE
SEEN ANYWHERE ON THE PLANET.
SHE IS A SWEETHEART, BUT MEMORY HAS HAD A VERY ROUGH YEAR.
THIS YEAR, HER MOTHER BECAME ILL AND DIED VERY SUDDENLY.
HER FATHER, WHO'S AN ALCOHOLIC, HAS REALLY JUST DISAPPEARED FROM
HER LIFE.
AND SO, SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN ON HER OWN QUITE A BIT, IF IT
WEREN'T FOR A COMMUNITY WHO HAS COME AROUND HER AND PROVIDED HER
WITH WHAT SHE NEEDS, MAKING SURE THAT SHE'S NOT ALONE.
PART OF WHAT THEY'RE ABLE TO DO IS TO HAVE HER AT THE PRESCHOOL
WHERE SHE'S IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT INSTEAD OF BEING BY
HERSELF, POTENTIALLY BEING IN DANGER OR BEING ABUSED.
SHE'S WITH FRIENDS WHERE SHE LAUGHS AND PLAYS, AND SHE'S
BEING TAUGHT HOW TO READ AND WRITE.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, SHE IS TAUGHT ABOUT THE LOVE OF CHRIST.
THESE TEACHERS LOVE HER AND THEY ARE LETTING HER KNOW THAT THERE
IS A LOVING GOD IN HEAVEN WHO HAS A GREAT PLAN FOR HER.
WHEN YOU SEE THESE CLASSROOMS OF HOPE
AND YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE PART OF PROVIDING THEM, YOU'RE
PROVIDING HOPE FOR CHILDREN LIKE MEMORY AND YOU'RE LETTING THEM
KNOW THAT THEY ARE LOVED AND THEY ARE NEVER ALONE.
SO, WE JUST WANT TO THANK YOU TO TELL YOU THAT WHAT YOU ARE DOING
MAKES A DIFFERENCE AND TO ASK YOU TO STAND WITH US.
THERE ARE A LOT MORE IMPORTANT CHILDREN OUT THERE THAT WE NEED
TO REACH, THAT WE NEED TO HELP JUST LIKE MEMORY
SO PLEASE JOIN US.
ANNOUNCER: TODAY YOU CAN CHANGE A LIFE AND CHOOSE AN AREA
OF OUTREACH THAT IS NEAR TO YOUR HEART, WATER, FEEDING, MEDICAL,
PROJECT GRL, OR WHEREVER NEEDED MOST.
AS A THANK YOU, WE'LL SEND YOU JOYCE'S BOOK,
"FAITH THAT OVERCOMES."
CONTACT US NOW...
OR GO TO JOYCEMEYER.ORG.
GINGER: BRAD, YOU REALLY CAN'T OVERESTIMATE
THE IMPORTANCE OF INVESTING INTO A CHILD BECAUSE YOU
DON'T KNOW THE POTENTIAL THAT GOD HAS PLACED IN
THAT CHILD.
AND THE PLACE THAT WE ARE RIGHT NOW IS A MEMORIAL TO
NELSON MANDELA, A MAN WHO HAD A HUGE IMPACT
ON SOUTH AFRICA AND THE WORLD.
AND THERE'S A GREAT CONNECTION TO HIS LIFE AND THESE CHILDREN
THAT WE ARE HELPING.
TELL ME ABOUT THAT CONNECTION.
BRAD: YEAH, WELL, IT'S NOT JUST THE MEMORIAL THAT WE'RE
CLOSE TO.
WE'RE ACTUALLY REALLY CLOSE TO THE PRESCHOOLS THAT WE SUPPORT
IN THE CLASSROOMS OF HOPE PROJECT AND THE CHILDREN THAT
WE'RE REACHING IN THE EASTERN CAPE
OF SOUTH AFRICA.
IN FACT, THE SAME ROLLING HILLS THAT WE HAVE BEHIND US HERE
WHERE NELSON MANDELA WAS PLAYING AS A CHILD, ARE THE SAME HILLS
AND AREAS WHERE THE CHILDREN THAT WE'RE LOOKING AFTER
EVERY DAY ARE PLAYING IN AND GROWING UP IN.
I MEAN, NELSON MANDELA, HE'S SUCH A WELL-KNOWN NAME AROUND
THE WORLD, A FIGURE OF PEACE, AND OF JUSTICE, AND FORGIVENESS,
AND RECONCILIATION.
BUT WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW IS HE CAME FROM INCREDIBLY
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS.
HE WAS A CHILD AT THE AGE OF 9, HIS FATHER PASSED AWAY AND HE
WAS LEFT QUITE VULNERABLE WITH HIS MOTHER.
AND THROUGH AN INDIVIDUAL IN THE COMMUNITY, WHO ESSENTIALLY
ADOPTED HIS FAMILY, HIS LIFE WAS PUT ON A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT
TRACK.
HE WAS BROUGHT INTO A SMALL MISSIONARY SCHOOL AND THAT
REALLY SET HIM ON THE PATH TO BECOMING THE HERO THAT WE DO
KNOW NOW AS NELSON MANDELA.
AND IT REALLY WAS BECAUSE SOMEBODY IN THE COMMUNITY SAW
A CHILD, A VULNERABLE CHILD AND SAID, "I'M GONNA DO WHAT I CAN
TO HELP THEM," AND THEY DID.
AND IT MAY HAVE SEEMED SMALL, JUST GETTING THAT CHILD INTO A
GOOD SCHOOL, BUT THAT SCHOOL WAS A TURNING POINT FOR HIS LIFE.
AND THAT'S WHY, AS YOU SAY, WE CAN NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE
IMPACT THAT MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN ONE LIFE CAN HAVE ON A NATION
AND ON A WORLD.
GINGER: AND WHAT THAT MUST MEAN TO THESE CHILDREN TO SAY,
YOU KNOW, "WHO KNOWS WHAT I COULD BECOME?"
SO MANY OF THESE CHILDREN FEEL LIKE, "I HAVE NO HOPE.
I HAVE NO FUTURE."
WE NEED TO BE THERE TO TELL THEM DIFFERENTLY.
BRAD: EXACTLY, THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFICULTY FOR SOME OF
THE CHILDREN TO REALLY DREAM BIGGER FOR THEIR LIVES
AND THERE'S OFTEN--THERE'S NOT A LOT OF ROLE MODELS
FOR THEM TO LOOK UP TO.
BUT IF YOU GIVE A CHILD HOPE AND YOU INSPIRE THAT CHILD,
IT'S AMAZING WHAT GOD CAN DO THROUGH THAT.
GINGER: FOR ONE PRECIOUS GRANDMOTHER, HOPE HAS BEEN MADE
ALIVE KNOWING THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO SCHOOL WILL GIVE HER
GRANDDAUGHTERS A CHANCE AT A BETTER LIFE AND WITH GOOD
REASON, EDUCATION, ESPECIALLY FOR GIRLS CAN BREAK CYCLES OF
POVERTY IN JUST ONE GENERATION.
XOLISWA: I SELL APPLES ON THE STREET TO SUPPORT MY
ENTIRE FAMILY.
THERE WAS SO MUCH PRESSURE BEING THE BREADWINNER.
THAT IS WHY I WANT MY GRANDDAUGHTERS TO BE SUCCESSFUL
IN SCHOOL SO THAT THEY CAN GET A GOOD JOB.
I KNOW THIS SCHOOL IS THE WAY TO MY GRANDDAUGHTERS' FUTURE
HAPPINESS, SOMETHING I DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO DO WHEN I WAS
A GIRL.
GINGER: DO YOU LIKE TO GO TO THE SCHOOL?
[FEMALE TRANSLATING]
GINGER: YEAH, WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO THERE?
FEMALE: I LIKE TO READ.
GINGER: YOU LIKE TO READ, THAT'S VERY GOOD.
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE WHEN YOU GET OLDER?
FEMALE: DOCTORS, THEY WOULD LIKE TO BE DOCTORS.
GINGER: YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE DOCTORS.
FEMALE: POLICE.
GINGER: OH, YOU WANT TO BE POLICE.
YOU WANT TO BE POLICE AND YOU WANT TO BE A DOCTOR, VERY GOOD.
THAT WILL BE WONDERFUL.
WHAT IS A SONG, CAN YOU SING ME A SONG?
SING ME A SONG.
[SINGING]
♪ WE ARE THE PRESCHOOL KIDS ♪ ♪ WE ARE THE PRESCHOOL KIDS ♪
♪ WE GIVE THANKS TO ♪ ♪ ALL OUR TEACHERS ♪♪
DON: YOU KNOW, ONE DAY, WE'LL HAVE PREACHINGS COMING OUT
OF THESE KIDS.
ONE DAY WE'LL HAVE PRESIDENTS COMING OUT--OF ORGANIZATIONS AND
BIG CORPORATE COMPANIES, COMING OUT OF THESE KIDS BECAUSE WE
CAN--YOU AND I CANNOT SEE WHAT GOD HAS DEPOSITED
IN EACH ONE OF THEM.
THE BEST WE CAN DO IS TO CREATE AN OPPORTUNITY IN AN ENVIRONMENT
LIKE WE'RE DOING HERE TO NURTURE THAT, GIVE THEM A DREAM BUT MORE
THAN THAT, INTRODUCING THEM TO THE LOVE OF GOD AT THIS AGE.
THAT, TO ME, IS PARAMOUNT.
[CHILDREN SINGING]
MAWABO: IT'S IMPORTANT TO TELL CHILDREN ABOUT GOD,
THE SOURCE OF LOVE, WHAT IS LOVE ABOUT AND WHERE
DOES LOVE ACTUALLY COME FROM.
MANY PARENTS NOW ARE COMING TO ME, YOU KNOW, SAYING, "WOW, I
KNOW YOU TALK ABOUT GOD IN SCHOOL BECAUSE WHEN MY CHILD IS
AT HOME, YOU KNOW, HE'S TELLING ME ABOUT JESUS."
THAT IN ITSELF, YOU KNOW, IS A FORM OF REVIVAL,
NO MATTER HOW SMALL.
SO, WE'RE VERY CONFIDENT, THAT, YOU KNOW, THE SEED IS ACTUALLY
BEING PLANTED THERE.
GINGER: WHAT ABOUT THE CLASSROOMS?
MAWABO: IT'S SO AMAZING.
THE IMPACT HAS BEEN MONUMENTAL.
AND WHEN WE ACTUALLY BOUGHT THEM, YOU KNOW, MANY OF THE
COMMUNITY WAS THERE TO CELEBRATE WITH US AND IT HAS INDEED
SHIFTED MY PERSPECTIVE.
I DON'T SEE THIS NOW AS A PRESCHOOL, I SEE IT AS
A COMMUNITY BECAUSE NOW IT HAS DEFINITELY BECOME AN ENTRY POINT
TO SHARE THE LIGHT OF GOD'S WORD, EVEN WITH THE COMMUNITIES.
GINGER: SO, THEY ARE REALLY ARE CLASSROOMS OF HOPE?
MALE: THEY DEFINITELY ARE, THEY DEFINITELY ARE.
DON: WHEREVER YOU DRIVE, WHEREVER YOU GO THROUGHOUT
THE COUNTRYSIDE, THE MOMENT YOU SEE THAT CLASSROOM, SOME OF THEM
ARE IN--WILL BE IN THE MIDST OF SQUALOR AND THEY JUST KNOW
THERE'S A BEACON OF HOPE.
MAWABO: EVERY DAY, YOU KNOW, WHEN I DRIVE OFF FROM A VILLAGE
AFTER A DAY'S WORK, YOU KNOW, MY HEART IS JUST FILLED WITH
GRATITUDE.
THERE'S STILL A WHOLE LOT MORE PRESCHOOLS THAT ARE UNDER
OUR PROGRAM THAT DON'T HAVE CLASSROOMS THAT WE'RE LOOKING
TO GIVE CLASSROOMS IN THE NEXT PHASE.
SO, IT'S GONNA BE AN EXCITING JOURNEY FOR US.
GINGER: SOME OF THESE PLACES THAT YOU'RE GOING TO ARE
VERY REMOTE.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT THAT WE ARE GOING TO THOSE PLACES THAT
NO ONE ELSE GOES?
MAWABO: BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, IF WE DON'T GO,
WHO MUST GO?
SO, THAT IS WHY WE HAVE TO KEEP REACHING THE REMOTE PEOPLE WITH
THE WORD OF HOPE TO TELL THEM THAT YOUR LIFE CAN
ACTUALLY CHANGE.
YOU CAN ACTUALLY BE BETTER.
YOU KNOW HOPE ACTUALLY MEANS SOMETHING, YOU KNOW?
YOU CAN ACTUALLY TURN IT INTO SOMETHING TANGIBLE.
DON: IT NEVER ESCAPES ME EVERY DAY TO ASK MYSELF THIS
QUESTION, WHAT MOVES SOMEBODY FROM ANOTHER WORLD TO HAVE
A HEART TO SAY, "LET ME JUST DO SOMETHING THAT WILL BENEFIT
SOMEBODY ELSE WHO I DON'T EVEN HAVE CONNECTIONS WITH"?
IT'S ONLY THE GRACE OF GOD AND OUR PRAYER GOES OUT EVERY DAY
THAT GOD WILL BLESS YOU PEOPLE, THE SUPPORTERS OF
THE JOYCE MEYER MINISTRY, THOSE THAT ARE
ACTUALLY WORKING LIKE YOURSELVES TO MAKE THIS A REALITY.
MAY GOD RICHLY BLESS YOU.
GINGER: YOU KNOW, EVERYWHERE WE GO ALL OVER THE WORLD, WE
CAN'T HELP BUT JUST FALL IN LOVE WITH THE CHILDREN LIKE
4-YEAR-OLD EMANATI HERE.
BUT HERE IN THE EASTERN CAPE OF SOUTH AFRICA, MY HEART HAS ALSO
BEEN REALLY PULLED TOWARD THE MOTHERS AND THE GRANDMOTHERS
WHO WORK SO HARD AND WHOSE HEARTS BREAK
FOR THE NEEDS OF THEIR CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES.
SO, IT'S INSPIRING AND WONDERFUL TO KNOW THAT WE ARE NOT ONLY
HELPING THE CHILDREN, BUT WE'RE HELPING THOSE MOTHERS
AND GRANDMOTHERS TOO.
SO, THESE CLASSROOMS OF HOPE THAT WE PROVIDE ARE HELPING
THE ENTIRE FAMILY.
IT GIVES 4-YEAR-OLDS LIKE THIS A PLACE OF SAFETY, A PLACE WHERE
THEY CAN LEARN, A PLACE WHERE THEY FIND OUT ABOUT
THE LOVE OF JESUS.
IT'S REALLY A PLACE FOR DREAMS TO BEGIN AND WE CAN'T DO IT
WITHOUT YOU.
SO, KNOW THAT YOUR SPECIAL GIFT TODAY WILL MAKE A HUGE
DIFFERENCE, NOT ONLY HERE IN SOUTH AFRICA, AS WELL AS OTHER
AREAS AND IN OTHER WAYS LIKE MEDICAL CARE, FEEDING.
ANY DOOR THAT GOD WILL OPEN, WE'RE GONNA BE THERE TO WALK
THROUGH BUT WE NEED YOU TO HELP US.
YOUR SPECIAL GIFT RIGHT NOW WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
PICK UP THE PHONE, GO TO THE WEBSITE, JOYCEMEYER.ORG,
AND LET US KNOW THAT YOU ARE STANDING WITH US.
ANNOUNCER: TODAY YOU CAN CHANGE A LIFE AND CHOOSE AN AREA
OF OUTREACH THAT IS NEAR TO YOUR HEART, WATER, FEEDING,
MEDICAL, PROJECT GRL, OR WHEREVER NEEDED MOST.

BRAD: I JUST THINK IT'S FANTASTIC THAT WE'RE ABLE TO
DELIVER A CLASSROOM.
I MEAN, WE'RE ABLE TO FIND A NEED, ASSESS THE NEED, MAKE A
COMMITMENT, MAKE PLANS REMOTELY AND THEN DELIVER A CLASSROOM TO
A SCHOOL AND THE MOMENT IT'S PLACED UP, IT'S READY TO GO.
THERE'S NO SETUP TIME.
THERE'S NO LONG CONSTRUCTION PERIOD.
IT'S LITERALLY CLICK, ON ITS WAY, AND IT GET DELIVERED.
THAT'S JUST AN INCREDIBLE, INCREDIBLE CONCEPT TO FILL.
GINGER: GREG, THESE PROJECTS HAVE TO TAKE A LOT OF
ENGINEERING AND THOUGHT.
"WHERE'S THE RIGHT PLACE TO PUT THESE?
IS THIS THE RIGHT WAY TO DO A CLASSROOM?"
AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S WORKING JUST BEAUTIFULLY.
GREG: NO, THEY'RE WORKING GREAT AND IT DOES, YOU HAVE TO
REALLY PUT SOME THOUGHT INTO WHERE YOU CAN PLACE THEM.
SO, WHEN WE BRING THE CONTAINERS IN, THEY COME IN ON A LARGE
TRUCK AND THEN YOU GOTTA HAVE A CRANE TO LIFT THEM OFF.
THEY'RE VERY HEAVY STRUCTURES SO YOU GOTTA MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE
ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK IN, YOU'RE ABLE TO GET THE PLACE IN
THE RIGHT SPOT, PLUS YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THE GROUND IS NOT TOO
UNLEVEL AND THE GROUND IS RIGHT WHERE YOU CAN ACTUALLY SIT
THE CONTAINER ON AS WELL.
GINGER: WELL, SHOW US THIS CONTAINER.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK.
GREG: THE SHIPPING CONTAINER IS MADE OUT OF SOLID STEEL SO
THESE THINGS ARE CONSTRUCTED IN A SENSE WHERE THEY'RE GONNA
BE THERE.
GINGER: YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING RAINING IN.
YOU'RE COMPLETELY PROTECTED FROM THE ELEMENTS AND IT'S GONNA LAST
A LONG TIME.
GREG: EXACTLY, EXACTLY.
ON THE INSIDE, WE'VE DONE SOME EXTRA WORK HERE.
VERY THICK DOORS, VERY WELL CONSTRUCTED AND THE MATERIAL
WE'VE GOT ON HERE, IT LOOKS NICE, THE WHITE MATERIAL,
BUT THIS WAS ACTUALLY AN INSULATION BOARD.
AND WE WENT WITH A HIGHER QUALITY INSULATION BOARD
TO--WHEN THE DAYS ARE VERY COOL, IT KEEPS IT WARMER.
WHEN THE DAYS ARE HOT, IT WILL KEEP IT COOLER.
WE GOT THOSE ON THE WALLS AND ON THE CEILINGS.
THAT'LL KEEP THE CONTAINER AT A LEVEL WHERE THE CHILDREN
CAN ACTUALLY LEARN.
GINGER: AND THEY'RE SO BRIGHT AND CHEERY.
AND YOU USE THE WALLS TO PUT THE DIFFERENT EDUCATIONAL THINGS UP.
GREG: AND THEY'RE EASY TO CLEAN.
EVEN THE FLOOR IN HERE, WE'VE GONE WITH A VERY HIGH-QUALITY
LAMINATE FLOORING SO AS YOU GOT KIDS PLAYING AND STUFF,
THEY'RE NOT GONNA BE TORN UP VERY EASILY.
IT'S GONNA STAY LOOKING NICE AS YOU CLEAN THEM.
GINGER: HOW DO YOU FEEL WHEN YOU SEE THEM IN ACTION, YOU SEE
THE CHILDREN LEARNING?
YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT BEING PART OF THIS?
GREG: OH YEAH, IT'S BRING--IT BRINGS A JOY.
YOU KNOW, WHEN I FIRST CAME AND I SAW THE BUILDINGS THAT THE
CHILDREN WERE IN AND WHAT THEY WERE LEARNING IN, AND THEN SOME
OF THEM JUST OUT OF SCRAP METAL OR MUD AND THE RAIN AND WIND
COMING THROUGH.
I'VE GOT THREE SMALL BOYS MYSELF, I COULDN'T IMAGINE MY
BOYS HAVING TO LEARN IN THAT.
AND NOW BEING ABLE TO SEE THESE CHILDREN IN A SAFE PLACE, A WARM
PLACE, A DRY PLACE, AND BEING ABLE TO LEARN PROPERLY,
THAT BRINGS AN EXCITEMENT AND A JOY TO MY HEART.
GINGER: AND YOU CAN TELL THAT THE CHILDREN LOVE THESE.
GREG: OH, THEY DO, THEY DO.
GINGER: THEY'RE SO HAPPY, THEY JUST LOVE IT.
GREG: WHEN WE DELIVER 'EM, IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS
ABOUT DELIVERING THEM IS THE CHILDREN ARE ALL OUT SINGING,
AND CHEERING, AND CHANTING WHILE THEY'RE DOING IT.
IT ALMOST GETS TO THE POINT WHERE YOU CAN'T CONCENTRATE ON
GETTING THEM DOWN BECAUSE THEY'RE HAVING SO MUCH FUN JUST
TRYING TO BE HAPPY BECAUSE THEY'RE GETTING A PLACE TO
LEARN IN.
BRAD: WONDERFUL, LOOK AND THEY'RE WAITING,
PRAISE THE LORD.
[SINGING AND CLAPPING]
[SINGING AND CLAPPING]
BRAD: WE'RE DONE.
[SINGING AND CLAPPING]
[MUSIC]
FEMALE: WE HAD BEEN TRYING FOR A LONG TIME TO HAVE THESE
THINGS, BUT GOD TODAY, HE HAD SEEN US.
HE NEVER FORGET US.
THE TIME WE WERE STILL IN THIS SHACK, WE THOUGHT GOD FORGOT US
BUT I CAN SEE TODAY HE NEVER FORGET US.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WE THANK YOU, GOD.
WE THANK YOU BECAUSE HE CAME TO YOU JUST TO COME TO US.
GOD IS GREAT.
BRAD: THANK YOU.
FEMALE: THANK YOU.
BRAD: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, YOU MAKE ME CRY NOW.
I'M CRYING NOW.
I'M SO HAPPY.
ALL: THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
GINGER: I CAN'T EVEN EXPRESS TO YOU HOW WONDERFUL OUR TIME
HERE IN THE EASTERN CAPE OF SOUTH AFRICA HAS BEEN.
YEAH, THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE BUT IT'S ALSO A PLACE THAT HAS
A LOT OF CHALLENGES, THAT'S WHY IT'S SO EXCITING FOR US TO BE
ABLE TO BE HERE TO HELP.
THERE'S A LOT OF POVERTY HERE.
THERE'S A LOT OF DRUG ABUSE, ALCOHOLISM, CHILD ABUSE, AND
THE CHILDREN IN PARTICULAR ARE THE ONES THAT ARE SUFFERING.
AND BEING A MOM, HAVING CHILDREN OF MY OWN, MY HEART ALWAYS GOES
OUT TO THE CHILDREN, BUT HERE IT ALSO REALLY GOES OUT TO
THE MOTHERS AND THE GRANDMOTHERS WHO ARE WORKING SO HARD TO
TAKE CARE OF THEIR CHILDREN.
THERE'S JUST A GREAT FEELING HERE THAT EVERY CHILD IS
MY CHILD.
SO, IT GIVES ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO THINK ABOUT, IS EVERY CHILD
MY CHILD?
WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP?
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP?
SO, HERE WE'VE BEEN SEEING OUR CLASSROOMS OF HOPE, SO WONDERFUL
TO SEE THE WAY THAT GOD IS OPENING DOORS FOR US TO PROVIDE
THESE BEAUTIFUL CLASSROOMS FOR CHILDREN TO COME IN TO LEARN,
TO READ, TO WRITE, TO HEAR BIBLE STORIES, AND THE VERY MOST
IMPORTANT THING, TO LEARN ABOUT THE LOVE OF CHRIST BECAUSE THAT
IS WHAT WILL MAKE A PERMANENT CHANGE IN THEIR LIVES.
AND WE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THAT YOU ARE DOING IN
THE CHILDREN'S LIVES HERE IN SOUTH AFRICA,
AND AROUND THE WORLD THROUGH JOYCE MEYER MINISTRIES
HAND OF HOPE.
GIVE THAT SPECIAL GIFT TODAY.
USE THE PHONE NUMBER YOU SEE RIGHT THERE ON THE SCREEN
AND STAND WITH US.
WE SIMPLY COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOU.
JOYCE: WELL, ISN'T IT WONDERFUL TO KNOW THAT TOGETHER,
WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR CHILDREN LIVING IN
EXTREME POVERTY, AND AS YOU JUST SAW, OUR
CLASSROOMS OF HOPE AND OUR FEEDING PROGRAMS IN SOUTH AFRICA
ARE HELPING THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN AS WELL AS IMPACTING
THEIR FAMILIES AND VILLAGES.
IN FACT, THE SUCCESS OF THE CLASSROOMS OF HOPE IS SO
IMPRESSIVE, WE WANT TO CONTINUE INSTALLING MORE CLASSROOMS.
THIS KIND OF INVESTMENT IN A CHILD'S LIFE IS NOT ONLY CRUCIAL
TO THEIR WELL-BEING, IT GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY TO LET THEM KNOW
HOW MUCH GOD LOVES THEM AND HE HAS PLANTED GREAT POTENTIAL
IN EACH OF THEIR LIVES.
NOW, WE'RE GONNA ASK YOU TODAY TO SOW A VERY SPECIAL
FINANCIAL GIFT INTO OUR MISSIONS OUTREACHES.
AND I JUST WANNA MAKE A SUGGESTION TO YOU.
YOU KNOW, PERHAPS YOU HAVE A CHILD OR A GRANDCHILD THAT IS
IN TROUBLE AND YOU'VE BEEN PRAYING SOMETHING SPECIAL OVER
THEIR LIVES.
WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?
THERE'S NOTHING BETTER WHEN YOU HAVE A NEED THAN SOWING INTO
SOMEBODY ELSE'S LIFE.
SO, FOR EXAMPLE, WE'RE ASKING YOU TODAY TO SOW INTO THE LIVES
OF OTHER CHILDREN AND IT MIGHT BE TEMPTING TO THINK, "WELL, YOU
KNOW, I HAVE KIDS OF MY OWN THAT ARE IN TROUBLE, OR MY KIDS NEED
BETTER SCHOOLING," BUT LET ME TELL YA, IT'S POWERFUL WHEN YOU
ARE IN A PLACE OF NEED YOURSELF AND YET YOU SOW INTO SOMEBODY
ELSE'S LIFE TO MAKE HAPPEN FOR THEM WHAT YOU ACTUALLY WANT
TO HAPPEN FOR YOU.
YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS THAT WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.
SO, THIS IS A SOWING TIME IN OUR LIVES.
GIVE THE BEST GIFT YOU CAN TODAY TO OUR MISSIONS TO HELP CHILDREN
LIKE THESE ALL AROUND THE WORLD.
