The incidence of child sexual abuse in South Africa has reached alarming proportions in recent times. In courthouse interviews before and after testifying, the main fear expressed by children concerned is having to face the defendant.
The Florida Baby Home opened its doors 9 years ago and is under the care of dedicated house parents, supported by a team of 8 trained baby care givers. This means that at any time, there are at least two baby care givers on duty.
Our baby home offers safe accommodation and a loving environment to babies found abandoned, affected and/or infected with HIV/AIDS.

Missional Expressions values people and its vision is to cultivate an environment in which each person, from every walk of life, can awaken to his or her unique, God-given mission calling. Ephesians 2:10
We seek to express the value we place on people by finding opportunities to support those in poverty, to promote peace and to care for our planet - so that we may win the right to share God’s love with the communities we serve.
We offer support through the establishment of sustainable projects - implemented by Mosaiek’s Missional Impact, Embark Foundation, Emthonjeni Community Centres and Ignite initiatives - as well as by partnering with other organisations with similar values. The communities are engaged from a posture of humility and a deep awareness of our shared humanity as we seek to identify and empower local leadership.
Members of the Mosaiek community are helped to discover and grow their calling through pilgrimages, missions trips, courses, dialogues and by participating in a number of projects. The events take place throughout the year with the projects following the seasons of the church calendar; the People project in Lent and Easter, the Planet project in September and the Peace project during the advent and Christmas season.
The Missional Expressions activities are supported through the generosity of donors and corporate sponsors as well as two major annual fund-raising events – the Expressing Hope Benefit Concert and the Arts and Crafts Expo which take place in the last quarter of the year.
More information on living as an everyday missionary can be found on the Missional Expressions Getting Involved page and Events Calendar. Information on how to become part of the work of established initiatives can be found on the Embark, Emthonjeni, Missional Impact (including Imagin), Ignite, Missional Partners and Siyafunda Network pages.
