Media

Web

Matters of the Soul started with an Afrikaans website named Sake van die Siel (www.sakevdsiel.org) and similarly named television programme.  All of these programmes are available for free online via the website and a Youtube channel.  These cover Clinical, Family and Coaching topics such as Depression, Trauma, Stress management to Couples Communication and Relationship building with Children.

The present website aims to provide information about Matters of the Soul activities and links to our Facebook page where weekly Live Broadcasts are top priority.

Support

Medical expenses

A young girl with unique physical disabilities receives a monthly donation of R2500 p.m. towards her specialised medical care needs.  She also received a once-off donation of almost R40 000 to assist with her medical debt.

Family expenses

Financial support is provided to two job-seeking families with young children.  These amount to R4500 per month in total.

Laerskool Kameelfontein Sopkombuis

 The trust gives R2000 monthly to the school’s feeding scheme.  The school supports many underprivileged children from local temporary housing settlements.

Counselling
Fund

At present six individuals receive R1400 each towards two counselling sessions per month from a Clinical Psychologist. This enables them to receive professional help. They are responsible for any additional costs.

Upcoming Projects

Matters of the Soul Radio Broadcast

Erich is currently arranging a radio programme named “Matters of the Soul” that will aim to provide relevant and accurate information to uplift and empower listeners.  Topics will focus on psychological and spiritual wellness from a Christian Psychology perspective.

​The aim is to spread the programme to a number of FM and internet radio stations across South Africa and Namibia as well as on our podcast and social media outlets.

Matters of the Soul needs to buy airtime on radio stations in order to broadcast the programmes . This is costly and a monthly expense.
