A minor glitch….

Posted on February 25, 2015 1 Comment

First, I am sorry I haven’t posted in a while. We have been busy finishing up the dental office remodel, visiting faith families to share about our heart for Africa, and continuing with our day-to-days lives. I really don’t know where the time has gone. We wake up each day with our feet on […]

Please pray for our visa applications

Tomorrow (Friday, the 30th) I am going to mail our passports with our visa applications to the South Africa Consulate in Chicago. The stack of paperwork is thick, my hand hurts, and I pray that all of the spaces I was supposed to fill in are complete. Please pray that they will arrive safely, and […]

Our one-way tickets are purchased!! Lord willing, we will be leaving Monday, March 9th. Now that our date is set and the countdown has started the reality of what we have to get completed before we go, is setting in. We are even more anxious to see what the Lord has in store for us […]

Merry Christmas

As we celebrate the birth of Jesus this year, we are reminded that He came to this earth in such a humble way, a beginning most would consider unacceptable. He conquered the world in the most unusual fashion and died to save us from our sins, because He loves us unconditionally. Our 2014 was full […]

Now that we are back from South Africa and our timeline in the states is closing in on us, we need to start support raising. Our hopes is that our family and friends will come alongside of us with prayers, time, and finances to encourage our efforts in South Africa, and that what we do […]

Our week together is coming to an end. It has been a great week and the team has worked so well together. God has used each of our strengths to assist with our daily tasks and we have also had great devotions in the evening with individual transparency, which has led to personal spiritual growth […]

Rain, rain go away…..

Well, that depends on who you ask. It is Tuesday afternoon and it feels like it has been raining on and off since we arrived. For most of us we packed shorts, t-shirts and sun tan lotion so we wouldn’t get burnt working in the sun all day. But that just hasn’t been the case. […]

HOT showers in cabin 4

Most of camp Eden is without water. Well, it trickles out cold so we can brush our teeth and flush the toilets but warm showers are out of the question, unless of course you are Brian or Tim and staying in cabin 4. For whatever reason the entire camp is pretty low on water but […]

We were able to attend church at Extension 23 and it was such a blessing (as it always is). Below is a picture of their new church building, it was good to see some familiar faces and many new ones who warmly welcomed us, just as the South Africans do. After church we went back to […]
