“We have church on Sunday, but what about the rest of the week?” This quaint little shop in downtown Capetown, is the fulfillment of a dream birthed in one woman’s heart. More than a business, Lizna’s heart is that this shop would be a place where people can come together, and those who are just merely looking for a gift or a cup of tea can encounter the Living God.
Love Project is unique in that it provides a space for local artisans in the community, such as those from local townships or non-profit Christian based organizations, where they can sell their creations. This is truly brilliant because often times, people come and go into these townships and teach various skills such as sewing or jewelry making,… but they end having few places to sell them. The Love Project is a venue in the heart of the city that offers these men and women a chance to to generate some form of income.
After having walked into the store for the first time, I left overjoyed and bubbling over with the love of God. I bought a neck scarf, mittens, and a couple journals that were truly an answer to prayer. I later found out that the journals were actually created by men who were raising money for school fees. Who would have thought? I was quite impressed. Prayer Requests/needs:
*Pray for God to bring someone to Lizna who has a similar heart and vision that is willing to manage the gift shop and take over for her.
*Pray for the church that is hosting the shop to be a place of unity, and work together as the body cross generations and cultures.
*Pray that God raises up workers within the community and or abroad to come and help volunteer/serve at Love Project
