My husband Josh and I have longed to minister to orphans in Africa since before we were married 13 years ago. I am married to an amazing man of God and I am

thankful every day for the love he has for the Lord, his family and for the lost and hurting. It is with this love that he is so gracious and patient with me as I seek to find ways to help those around us. He is also a wonderful encourager as I tend to get a bit emotional with the overwhelming sadness here. Here is a bit of how we got here…

Two years ago I joyfully packed 17 dufflebags as my husband, my 3 daughters and myself (5 months pregnant) moved across an ocean where we had so long waited to come!!! I am now a mother of 7, 4 daughters of our own and 3 abandoned children that now have become part of our family.

We love serving in Africa. God has put such a desire in my heart to do what I am doing here. I cannot imagine being any where else!!! I find great joy in caring for my home and loving the children He has put in my care. When I am tired, I remind myself that there will come a time that I will “find rest beyond the river”… but for now, I labor not in vain!!!

In 2007, as we moved to South Africa, our hearts longed to serve and minister to the orphan and vulnerable. Over the course of these past two years God has brought many people, both orphan and refugee into our lives. I often become so overwhelmed with the depth of need in each person’s life, physically and often spiritually as well.

As a pastor’s wife and mother of 7 my resources and time can only go so far. I see the needs around and work to meet the needs where I am able and I desire for this website to be a place where you can meet a few people I have met and hear their stories and I would like to share about some projects I have started.
