A humble pastor who is well known by many for her tenderness and caring for the poor received new clothes from the United States of America that are meant for destitute villagers.

Pastor Evelyn Khosa of Mudabula village in the Malamulele area, the head of the Women of Calvary Church, never went to school and she cannot read and write, but on Friday she surprised the villagers and members of her church when she received visitors from the United States of America who had come to support her cause.

A delegation of four from the Fellowship of Whittier in Los Angeles visited her church in Mudabula to give her clothes to give to the poor in the area. The four are Natalie Banks, Jacqueline Dunn, Jo-Ann Hudson and Abraham Manase, a South African who has moved to the States.

Khosa is well known by her nickname, Lim-popo´s Mother Theresa, because of her good heart.

Manase, who is a data management specialist in the States, said he got to know of pastor Khosa´s good works while in the States through Nsanwisi´s gospel programme which is on the SABC´s Munghana Lonene FM every Thursday night.

He said the clothes they were handing out were new. From Mudabula they were heading for Bochum where they were giving clothes to a project of poor people run by Ntsanwisi.

Manase said although he was based in the States, he kept listening to Ntsanwisi´s programme because it comforted and changed lives. Ntsanwisi also praised Khosa, saying that they were working together, looking after the poor, not for gain.

Khosa, who has received many awards, including one from the Presidency, said God had changed her life from a woman crying that she had problems, to someone who was solving the problems of others. She said there were many people who ran to her home for shelter, including orphans and vulnerable people.

“I am not rich, but whatever my children eat, the destitute will also eat,” said Khosa.
