Update from Rev. Dr. Denise Kingdom: South African Mission


Dear Friends,

Dumela and greetings from our siblings in the Lord in Botshabelo South Africa. This was my seventh trip to the Rainbow Nation to bear witness to the God-honoring work being done to place orphaned and vulnerable children in loving families according to our Heavenly Parent’s design.

I was thrilled to travel with four young adult women whose lives cross many intersections with the families and young people we embraced along the way. Three of the four young ladies were adopted. Two on our trip lost fathers at the age of 10. One young lady had a baby at 15 and chose an open adoption with a loving family for her baby.

This was a journey to not only experience God at work in South Africa but to instill healthy mission principles and scripture engagement practices as preparation for discipleship. God met us in South Africa and this is some of what we saw.
