Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing. Isaiah 40:26
FAMILY MISSION TRIP FROM POTCH
Arno and Christi lead two mission teams to Pasture Valley from Potchefstroom. They got involved in outreaches to homesteads, helped with caregiver training, farm maintenance, leading bible studies, and also had career talks with the children. The above photos show some of their outreach to a child-headed home. The photos show some of their outreach to a child-headed home.
MERCY AIR
The adventures- I mean, missions- with Mercy Air continue: Some of the PV children and staff got to come along too. Dr Jason (Dentist) also treated children from PV and Tfokotani (no pun intended).
