Leaders. Disciple-makers. Students of the Word, the Spirit and the soil. Proclaimers of holistic good news. Practitioners of freedom. Stewards of God’s abundant resources, and equippers of others to do the same. In order for Africa to thrive and produce an overflow, we need transformational catalysts, people committed to changing the broken systems in our […]
Our pickup truck navigated the rough path up the hill to Senzo’s house in the rolling hills of the northwest townships of Durban, South Africa. We were visiting Senzo after he had attended one of our Farming God’s Way trainings in Ballito. It was a scorching hot east coast afternoon and any open ground was […]
We begin a blogging series this month where we highlight one of the teaching components of the Farming God’s Way curriculum. Our focus today is on the Biblical Key of Understanding God’s All Sufficiency and how that can be a part of helping people begin to flourish. Farming God’s Way has 6 Biblical Keys that […]

It is the people that motivate us to do what we do. Kerry spends a lot of her time behind a camera watching, observing, capturing and preserving. These images are moments remembered in time. They help us to slow down and appreciate the beauty around us. We hope they give you a small sense of […]
It is great to be back blogging after almost 5 months in Canada. Those months away from South Africa are valuable to us because they are opportunities to connect our two worlds. While in Canada we often find our vision sharpened as we reflect on and share uniquely African stories. It is with gratitude that […]
From Durban, South Africa to London, England, to Calgary, Canada and then Ontario, and British Columbia, we completed our home assignment in just less than 5 months. We thought we’d share some of our favourite family photo highlights. It had been incredibly hectic leaving South Africa and so getting a chance to catch our breath […]
