Mission Trip to Cape Town, South Africa!!

God truly blessed us with an amazing trip to Africa! It was so interesting to see how God worked out every detail to get us to Cape Town and then work through the ministry that we were there to do while there! We worked with ACTS (http://www.actsafrica.com/) and Living Hope Ministries (http://www.livinghope.co.za/). Thank you so much for your prayers! Pray for the children and families that we were blessed to work with while in South Africa and please continue to pray for Zimbabwe and God's plan for that beautiful country!

Christian Radio in Cape Town

This building is the sister station to WCQR which is the local Christian radio station in the Tri-cities area! It's a small world!

Soccer Ministry

The man on the left of the photo is Nash. He is an ex-pro soccer player who felt the leading of God to start a soccer outreach program in Ocean View. Please pray for this ministry, as it not only reaches out to the community through sports, but also trains them to be leaders in the community and followers of Christ!!
