Give toLatter Rain Mission
The work of the Mission — its congregations, its ministries and its missionaries — is carried by the generosity of people like you.
God loves a cheerful giver“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” — 2 Corinthians 9:7
Why we give
Giving is worship, not obligation
Why give?
We give because we have first been given to. Everything we hold comes from God's hand, and returning a portion of it is one of the plainest ways we say so out loud.
Giving is not a fee for membership or a way of earning favour — favour was settled at the cross. It is an act of worship that loosens the grip money has on us, teaches us to trust God with what we cannot control, and shapes us to look more like Christ.
Unconditional love is the first of our values, and giving is that love made practical.
Why give to the Mission?
Your giving keeps fifty-eight congregations running — here in South Africa and abroad. It funds the teaching, the pastoral care, and the buildings where we gather each Sunday.
Beyond Sunday, it supports the Jatniël Prayer Centre's free counselling, the Rooted youth and children's ministries, the Impact Year gap programme, care for the frail and aged through Emmanuel, and the work of the Covenant of Hope in Bushbuckridge and beyond.
It also sends and sustains missionaries. Over two billion people have never heard anything about Jesus, and reaching them costs something.
Community service across the Mission — meals, outreach, home visits and care for the aged.

Questions
Frequently asked
Is my gift tax deductible?
Gifts to Covenant of Hope NPC (company number 2018/567251/08) will be tax deductible once its Public Benefit Organisation registration with SARS is complete. At that point the CoH will be able to issue Section 18A certificates under the Income Tax Act (Act 58 of 1962).
Tithes and offerings given to the Mission itself are not tax deductible. If a Section 18A certificate matters to you, please give to the Covenant of Hope account.
What does my giving actually pay for?
Congregational costs come first — the buildings we meet in, the teaching, and pastoral care across all fifty-eight congregations.
Beyond that it funds the Jatniël Prayer Centre, which offers prayer and counselling free of charge; the Rooted children's and youth ministries; the Impact Year gap programme; elder care through Emmanuel; the Covenant of Hope's five business units; and the sending and support of missionaries.
Can I give to one particular ministry?
Yes. Add the ministry to your payment reference — for example Peters – Missions or Peters – Emmanuel — and the finance team will allocate it accordingly.
Can I set up a monthly gift?
Yes, and it is the most helpful way to give. Recurring gifts let the Mission plan its year with confidence rather than guessing at income.
You can set up a recurring transfer through your own banking app, or contact the head office on +27 11 967 1022 for a debit order mandate.
Do I have to be a member to give?
No. Giving is open to anyone who wants to support the work, whether you attend one of our congregations, visited once, or simply want to back a particular ministry.
Will I receive a receipt?
Yes. Use the reference format shown with the banking details so your gift can be matched to you, and the finance team will issue a receipt.
Section 18A certificates for Covenant of Hope gifts will be issued once its PBO registration is complete.
Who do I contact about giving?
The head office can put you in touch with the finance team — call +27 11 967 1022 during weekday office hours.
Give what you have decided in your heart
However you choose to give — once, monthly, or through your estate — thank you. Every gift carries the work of the Mission further.
