About this user
The vision for this ministry started ten years ago when a discipleship group from the Pretoria Dutch Reformed Church became aware of the desperate needs that people in the inner city faced and started a process that crystallised into what is today known as PEN.
The main focus of our ministry is to build long term relationships with the people whom we serve. To minister, not only through bringing the word of God, but to see to all their needs: food, clothes, social and academic care for the children, preventing family violence through therapy, helping with job creation, taking care of HIV-positive people, improving self-esteem and eventually, creating a new wholesome community.
PEN is a Section 21 Company (Non-profit organisation, registered 1992) that works in close relation with local churches as well as other organisations (Governmental and NGO's). Its Board of Directors consists of a variety of people from different walks of life. PEN is financially audited by an independent auditor annually as required in the Companies Act.
PEN is a non-profitable, non-denominational Christian-based organisation and as such sees itself as God's VOICE, STEWARD, SERVANT and COMMUNITY in the inner city of Pretoria.
