HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF ORANGE FARM
Orange Farm is the largest informal settlement in Gauteng Province. It was formally established in 1988 by the people who were forcefully removed from Weilers Farm squatter camp. Orange Farm presently has a population of more than 900 000 (nine hundred thousand) people. It is situated on the south of Johannesburg and North of the Vaal Triangle. The people stay in houses made of plywoods, corrugated iron, bricks and any discarded material. There are other people who stay in the squatter camps within Orange Farm where there are no basic services like running water, electricity, and healthy food. Orange Farm houses the poor of the poorest people in the country. There are special groups of people that are found in Orange Farm like: The Orphans, HIV-AIDS affected and infected the widows, street children, senior citizens, the unemployed etc. We believe as a church that God has called us to go into this community and bring Good News to the poor.
ORANGE FARM UNITING REFORMED CHURCH IN AFRICA, dates to November 1991, when the Dutch Reformed Church in Africa was constituted. It first started under a tree. As this body grew it became constituted in 1991. This was done through the weekly Evangelistic outreaches in the community
As our members grow in numbers daily and our church building is becoming too small, we have undertook a project to build a bigger church that will accommodate everyone. We ask anyone who can assist with building material to contact us, we will really appreciate any kind of donation toward the building of our new church.
