Greetings from Cape Town!
Faith and Sports
The informal interview is the first step of our Campus Crusade for Christ – South Africa (CCCSA) staff application process.

Reliable Men
“Multiplying disciple to the 4th generation.” This is a new mantra we utilize on my Western Cape ministry team. 2 Timothy 2:2 describes four generations of disciples (Paul, Timothy, reliable men, others) training individuals on how to evangelize and build people in their faith to be sent to tell others about Jesus. A person weContinue reading "Reliable Men"

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! 2018 is here! Several times in the last week, I have reminded Leon what our life was like last year.

He protected us on every trip and comforted our hearts withContinue reading "Happy New Year!"
By the Brook
“The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook,” I Kings 17:6. I have always wondered about this passage in the Bible whether Elijah was able to relax or was he anxious by the brook. As Melanie and I beginContinue reading "By the Brook"
Unexpected
November 1, 2017 “Do you think you will go back this year?” “Mom, I honestly don’t know. We would have to hear from the embassy this week to have the possibility of leaving this year,” as I walk away, I say Lord, I just don’t know. I certainly would like to know but God youContinue reading "Unexpected"
