#LOTS Initiative Creates Positive Impact
In a world often marked by indifference, there are those who choose to make a meaningful difference. One such beacon of hope is the #LOTS Initiative, a non-profit organisation partnering with The Upper Room Rehabilitation Center SA, united by a vision and mission to extend hope to the homeless within the community.

Every Thursday night, these organisations collaborate to bring the streets of Alberton to life with the transformative power of faith, compassion, and miracles. Their mission is driven by empathy, reaching out to the marginalised, the lost, the homeless, and the addicted. Pastor Ian Naidoo of The Upper Room Rehabilitation Center SA described their mission as simple yet profound: to preach the gospel and the message of repentance, demonstrating the unwavering love of Jesus Christ for those who often feel forgotten. This message is followed by a hot meal, echoing the way Jesus fed the multitude.
What sets #LOTS and The Upper Room apart is not just their powerful message but the tangible miracles witnessed on the streets of Alberton. It’s as if the divine presence descends upon their weekly gatherings, working wonders that defy explanation. Stories of individuals once bound by infirmity and despair finding healing and hope have become commonplace. Some of the most extraordinary testimonies involve individuals with spine issues and the lame miraculously regaining their mobility. These inexplicable healings testify to the awe-inspiring power of faith in Jesus Christ, transcending the boundaries of medical science.
One remarkable moment in their recent history occurred on September 21. As the team began their sermon, an unexpected attendee joined the congregation—a man on his way to commit a house robbery. However, he paused to listen to the message of hope and redemption. As the words of grace and salvation filled the air, an extraordinary transformation took place within him. He abandoned his criminal intent, and faith entered his life. This sudden change of heart stands as a testament to the profound impact of #LOTS and The Upper Room on their community.
Their mission extends beyond preaching; they embrace the human spirit with open arms and demonstrate the power of faith through real and tangible transformations. As Thursday nights in Alberton continue to shine with love, faith, and miracles, they remind us that hope persists even in our darkest moments. Their mission to reach the lost, the homeless, and the addicted is not only commendable but also an inspiration to us all.
For those battling addiction and seeking counselling, the #LOTS Hope Centre, located next to Alberton Home Affairs and Alberton Driving School, operates from Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 13:00. The services of SANCA are available on Mondays, and Dr June Jefferey, a specialist counsellor, is available Tuesday to Friday.
