Gobabis soup kitchen reopens
What began with a small group of children has quickly grown, as more and more gather three times a week to enjoy a warm meal prepared with love at a Gobabis soup kitchen.
“Someone from Cameroon made it financially possible to have the soup kitchen open again in December,” Maria Musita explained recently. “It is not much, but with a little we can put a smile on the children’s faces. I thank the Lord for his goodness and his miracles.”
The generous donation has allowed Musita to reopen her soup kitchen for December, bringing comfort, food and hope to children in need.
Musita's mission is rooted in faith and compassion.
“In James 1:27, the Word says we must look after the widows and orphans,” she explained. “It’s also just a nice time to distribute love and food. Christmas time means so much to the people in our area, but there is always a lack of food, love, games and hearing Bible stories. I am thankful that God makes it possible for me to give all of this.”
Power of kindness
Musita’s dedication has not gone unnoticed. Last year, local shops stepped in to lend their support, and she remains hopeful that even more will contribute this season to make Christmas extra special for the children of her community.
As she continues her work, the soup kitchen serves as a witness to the power of community, kindness and faith to lift the spirits of everyone who came through its doors.
“It brings me so much joy to see their smiles,” Musita said.
“With the little we have, we can still do so much.”
Her commitment is about more than food; it’s about creating a space of love and belonging where no child feels forgotten during the festive season. Through her unwavering faith and perseverance, Musita has become a symbol of hope, demonstrating that even the smallest acts of kindness can make the biggest impact.
