PROFILE - MES


Our vision
To change the heart of our city!
MES Cape Town is a community based Christian organisation that initiates and facilitates activities to empower people holistically to live independent, sustainable and meaningful lives.
We work in close partnership with other organisations and role players (Dept of Social Services, SAPS, churches, shelters, rehabilitations centres businesses, etc. ) to reach its goals.
About us
BCM had humble beginnings with church services (singing, preaching of God’s Word, prayer, counseling) under a tree in a park near the Vredelust Church in Bellville. The services were initially lead by brother Harold Abrahams and his wife Fiela, and attended by 5 to 7 homeless people. The number of homeless people attending the services grew rapidly, and as more people attended, the services were moved to more suitable and spacious venues. Currently BCM is situated at the BCM Centre 10 Modderdam Road, Bellville. Behind Paint City. Meals are served daily at 13.00 h at this venue.

Through the grace and favor of God MES Cape Town currently enjoys extensive practical support from various sectors of our community, and a large number of individuals and groups. Currently between 80 and 125 homeless people (representative of all race groups, but mostly adult men ) regularly attend and participate in a range of activities and programs aimed at their spiritual, social and economic development. It is our aim to, through an integrated approach, achieve the holistic development of each precious person we are blessed to interact and work with.
