AME Church extends Easter blessings to the community
SEBOKENG.- In the true spirit of compassion and service, the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church – Dare Mae Robinson in Zone 11, Sebokeng, under the dynamic leadership of Pastor Motsiri Mokotedi, concluded the Easter weekend with a powerful act of generosity and solidarity.
Just over a year ago, upon assuming pastoral leadership, Pastor Mokotedi introduced a transformative initiative known as the Benevolent Offering – a term unfamiliar to many within the congregation at the time, but one that has since become a cornerstone of the church's outreach philosophy.
Over the last Easter weekend, that vision came to life as Pastor Mokotedi, supported by various church structures and ministries, led a heartfelt mission to the community of Sonderwater near Evaton.
Through the Benevolent Offering, the church shared essential goods and support with families in need, affirming the core Christian values of love, unity, and social justice.
'This is more than charity – it is a statement of faith in action,' said Pastor Mokotedi.
He added, 'We are called to be the hands and feet of Christ in our communities, and that means responding to the needs of the most vulnerable with compassion and consistency.'
The church remains committed to continued outreach efforts that uplift previously disadvantaged communities and restore dignity to those often left behind.
'The Easter outreach to Sonderwater is a reminder that the resurrection message is not confined to the pulpit – it lives on in how we treat one another, especially the poor, the forgotten, and the hurting,' Pastor Mokotedi said.
