The Haven Of Rest offers hope and healing to South Africa and surrounding nations. Our vision is to have a place to cater for the emotional, spiritual and physical needs of the community.

The Lord Jesus Christ said: “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I wasa stranger and you invited me in, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. When the disciples asked Jesus, when were you all these things, He replied: Whatever you did for one the least of these brothers of mine, you did it unto me.” - Matthew 25:35, 36, 40



The Apostolic Faith Mission of South Africa founded by John G. Lake reaches all race groups within and beyond the borders of South Africa. The mission of the church is to glorify God; to cater for the whole needs of the whole man and to proclaim the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ

Thank you for visiting our site.  We marvel at God's graciousness and goodness upon us at the Haven of Rest.The social, physical and emotional needs of the community is still a large challenge for us. 

Our mandate is found in Matthew 25:35

We are growing strong in this ministry by the grace of God.  We have also reproduced and registered the Haven of Rest in Malawi.  We are building seven orphanages and next year hope to have a medical clinic for the people of Malawi.  Four of the seven orphanages have been built to accommodate the needs of the underprivileged. The Haven of Rest is in the process of being registered in Zambia. 

Our next goal is to expand the orphanage at the Haven of Rest to accommodate 100 HIV/AIDS orphans.  The plans have been drawn up and we envisage starting this Children's Village in the near future.
