South African Times

Hey everyone! So we are here, in a small village outside of White River, South Africa. We arrived from Johannesburg at the Kruger Airport around 9am local time. From here we were picked up by a full time staffer here named Carla. She was kind enough to show us to our temporary house and around the rest of the campus here at what is called University Village – the base for Ten Thousand Homes.


We were fairly beat, but had time to meet a few of the people here and have dinner before settling in for the night. Sunday was another low key day for us, as we were able to continue to rest from our travels – though we did get our first glimpse of the actual town of White River when we were driven in (only about a 5 minute drive) to buy some necessities (shampoo, groceries, etc.). The evening was capped off with the weekly Sunday night worship session that the staff attends (a little over a dozen people). It was a very warm welcome and we are very interested in seeing what we will be getting into.

Thank you for all your prayers for travel and safety. The week is starting up here so we will soon be finding out just what we signed up for!

We do have limited access to email, so please feel free to send us mail anytime you want!
