Cause Connect

“Let only mercy limit mercy” – Tim Keller

Cause Connect is the welfare and social upliftment organisation (The Cause Connect Trust) for the mercy ministries at El Shaddai Christian Church (ESCC), having oversight to ensure good governance and optimal impact. The objective is to serve the poor, the disenfranchised, the downtrodden, the hungry as well as orphans and widows by connecting these causes to sustainable solutions of compassionate care and societal upliftment.

Cause Connect’s three governing principles are:

  • 1. Mercy

    This welfare aspect assists people with basic needs like food, clothing and shelter.

  • 2. Justice

    We strive to bring social justice by finding the root cause of a need and developing programmes that bring about long-term change. For example, helping people obtain access, be it an identity document, a social grant, education opportunities and healthcare or community support for endemic social issues.

  • 3. Grace

    We engage with systemic issues in order to edify individuals and show compassion across society. These issues include orphans, the homeless, the disadvantaged, and the poor.
