Love from South Africa

We started the year off with a a 3 day staff conference. We are so thankful for the encouraging time we had together to kick off the new year & for the new staff members he has added to our team. We look forward to resuming our ministries for the year as we reach youth with the gospel of Christ. Please be praying for us that we continue to look towards God for strength in every ministry that we are involved in. With a new year comes new responsibilities. This year, I (Ashley) will be working as the Intern Coordinator. I'm very excited for this opportunity to work alongside the interns & be a part of their journeys as I remember how much the Lord impacted my life in my time as an intern. I will continue to be involved in the various camps & missions trips alongside Thato who directs that aspect of the ministry. Welcome! Last week, we excitedly welcomed our students & interns for the year. We are so thankful for each of them & their desire to learn & grow.

Kids Camp We kicked off summer camp with Kids Camp & welcomed over 100 kids onto our property for a weekend that could shape the rest of their lives. During that short weekend, 4 came to trust Christ as their personal Savior. We don't know the other decisions made in these young hearts but we trust that the Lord was & is at work in the lives of each of those children. We are so thankful for the counselors who allowed themselves to be used by the Lord in our camper's lives.   Teen Camp Maria (second from the left) with her counselor & cabin mates. It was truly a blessing to see the challenge that we had at camp this year as we were challenged to DO SOMETHING. One of the things that I like about camp is not only that the students are challenged but everyone is challenged by the word of God. During teen camp, we had a dedication service and it was so great to see what everyone had been challenged to do in taking their relationship w
