Every person and every family has a unique calling and purpose for their lives. After spending years serving in the U.S. in various ways, God placed a call on our hearts for South Africa that required us to take a giant leap of faith. Doors wildly opened, and a miraculous chain of events occurred that has led us to the greatest adventure of our lives!
Our family is working to help create sustainable communities that are partnered with the local church. We are committed to the journey of restoring dignity, value, & purpose.

- The last few weeks have held some devastating events for the communities surrounding us. Because of unfit living conditions, fires have broken out destroying the homes and lives of so many people. As we stood in the middle of these ravaged areas, it was hard to comprehend the widespread loss and families who had no place to go until the government arrives with makeshift shelters. We have been a part of teams that are coordinating efforts for relief, but we would like to ask that you please keep these communities in your thoughts and prayers as they work to pick up the broken and charred pieces of their lives. . . . . .
- We HAVE to take a moment to say that Heather absolutely crushed it today!! She gave a super encouraging word to our church this morning and her heart totally sparkled with the love of Jesus. On top of that, she even brought a little bit of our hometown culture into the message! Way to go, Heather! #southafrica #faith #disneyworld #nomuck #hillsongsouthernsuburbs #hillsongsafrica

- Our work here in keeps getting better every day! Meet Dolly and Gugu, two people who we have grown to deeply love over this past year. It has been an honor to serve them and they have no idea how many ways they've blessed our family. Gugu told her mom last week that she really wanted to get one Christmas present this year. In faith that there would be provision, Dolly told her to pray and ask God herself. Through the generous work of our local church and our incredible team, we were able to give Gugu not just one present, but a box full of presents that showed how much Jesus hears her prayers and loves her and her mom. It's because of people like you that we get the privilege of serving this wonderful nation and the beautiful and wonderfully diverse people in it. Thank you for trusting us to carry out this work! We have so many big things coming in 2019, so make sure to stay tuned! . . . . . . #southafrica #africa #family #endpoverty #buildinglives #prayer #instagood #christmas #merrychristmas #serveothers #christmasspirit #christmascheer #christmaslove #reasonfortheseason #christmaswish #nomuck
