The ministry to the youth in Zandspruit began about twenty years ago when Cherie Bulger, a former OCAfrica missionary, realized that there were no afterschool activities available for high school aged kids at the community centre where she volunteered.  She decided to pilot a program for youth on Saturdays.  She offered breakfast, teaching and activities that helped the young people to grow in their relationship with Jesus and to give them alternatives to the normal drinking and partying that happened in the informal settlement on the weekends.  Barbara Siaki joined that Saturday ministry a few years after it began.
