Welcome to South Africa!

     

They are here! Mom and Pop in beautiful Paarl at Ruitersvlei, 
where we minister to the farm workers children.


What a blessing it was to greet Mom and Pop at Cape Town International, along with Barry, Teri, Bryce, Sarah, Loren and JD. We had been looking forward to this time together with family and friends and were excited to have them share in our ministries with us. 

The rest of the team from CCT continued onto Malawi where the Lord did an amazing work through them, while Papa and Grandma stayed with us in Paarl. We had an opportunity to show them around the Western Cape, this beautiful land we have been called to. We also got a chance to bring them along to all the different ministry opportunities we have throughout the week. So, the last few weeks have been busy to say the least, very eventful. 

We hope that you all are doing great and looking forward to warmer weather. We are just breaking out the heaters and hot water bottles for the beds. Lots of love and blessings!

the highlight of the safari, so cute!












After church some of the kids sang a goodbye 
song to Mom & Pop, it was awesome.
