Welcome to Second Table Ministries ("STM"), a non-profit ministry dedicated to helping the poor in South Africa.
STM has three basic goals:

1. To help inform others about the urgent
human need in South Africa, and provide
opportunities for those who wish to help.
2. To encourage South African white and
black churches to work together to build
solutions and engender unity.
3. To help meet some of the urgent needs of people in
desperate poverty.
Programs we select to fund will have the following characteristics. They will:
- be operated and controlled by people who are served - usually indigenous churches;
- have cooperation and involvement by neighboring white churches and/or their members;
- generate financial support from other sources in the U.S. and in South Africa;
- have in-kind and financial contributions and volunteer involvement from the groups who are served.
- have sustainability - ministry continuation without on-going STM assistance.
