History – Straatwerk Non-Profit Organisation
Straatwerk non-profit organisation came into being in the late 1960s. Young people gathered on Friday evenings with a shared concern for those who were cast out by society, who were broken and in distress, and yearned to be loved. With a borrowed van, a tray of sandwiches and a primus stove, they went out and shared the love of Christ.
Today Straatwerk is a registered non-profit organisation with a strong evangelistic focus.
The ministry team of Straatwerk non-profit organisation reflects the rich diversity of our country’s population and represents a range of different church denominations.
