In 2006, a bunch of friends went out into the streets of Pretoria to feed the homeless people sleeping in the city centre. Almost a year went by before we made it out again and God stirred a passion in our hearts for these people...

We began what is today known as OpenMind. It is a non-profit or-ganization aimed at Pretoria specifically. Under the OpenMind banner several other projects are running. Since its start, OpenMind has seen many volunteers join us and be changed by what they experienced. We do not possess all the necessary skills or resources to help every-one, so we intend to network and get involved with other ministries and churches.
