A GOOD HEART OF A COOK

Thuli Mdluli is one of the cooks at the CarePoint who has a heart that is so caring and so loving.She has compassionate heart,she has shown this by stepping up for 3 kids that don’t even belong to her.

As the discipleship team visits the CarePoint my eyes fell in love with a small boy who was just playing with other kids,just curious to know about him,I did not know the reason why I was so attracted to the boy. The little boy has a painful story.

His name is John Deusoza, John was abandoned by his mother to his father who is married. He feared for his marriage, because the wife wanted to leave him because John was not her son, so the father decided to harm John, in fact he tried to kill him by throwing John in a homestead where there were fierce dogs. Poor John was rescued by Thuli “Two-lee” who saw this incident,she took the small boy in her homestead where she is also living with Phephile “Pay-pee-lay” and Muzi “Moo-zee” and Rosenna Chissano who are also double orphans.
Thuli is taking John with her to the CarePoint everyday, he is too young to attend the pre school class because he is only 3yrs old, but it is amazing how God is moving in John’s life. The boy just flows with joy ,one time he came to me and sang a song that they sing at bible clubs and he shared a Memory verse from the bible club and I was so amazed at how he can take the Word in his heart,he was stammering saying 1John 16:16 “I…chose… you… to.. go… and… bear fruit “, that was awesome, the recovery that the Lord is bringing in the child’s life is awesome.May He be praised”

All this kids that Thuli cares for have been abused in different ways.
Phephile and Muzi came to stay with Thuli when they were 3 and 5 yrs old, now Phepile is 18 yrs and Muzi is 20yrs old and they are very active youth at the CarePoint.Their education is being sponsored by a nearby school.

Rosenna Chissano is a double orphan (which means she has lost both of her parents) who is 5yrs old who was also rescued by Thuli as she was staying with her uncle. The unfortunate part was that the wife of the uncle did not like and did not want anything to do with Rosenna,she was abusing the child emotionally and physically in unthinkable ways,the uncle’s wife will strangle the child and torture her by putting a hot iron on her forehead and it so sad that even now she still healing from the physical scars.So sad”but God is restoring her,she is now a happy child attending CarePoint school and bible clubs and playing with other kids and feeling the love of Christ through Mama Thuli!!
