Long Awaited Photos

Heading across the fields and up to the peak that we abseiled from. Found out on the way back that we crossed over from KwaZulu Natal province into Free Sate

Nervously backing to the edge and then stopping off...yikes! I was fine as long as I didn't look down!

Sentinal Peak - little did I know how much this hike would challenge me! When they said it was an all day excursion, they weren't kidding!







Looking up the crevice we had to climb up - I struggled with this -
climbing on all fours at times - had to rest quite a bit on the way up - felt pretty old and out of shape during this climb - but it was worth it at the top - beautiful views!










Behind us is one of the tallest waterfalls in the world - it was also very small!

This is the Virgina/NC/Georgia gang
of volunteers.






Of course, what goes up must come down
less strenuous coming down on the ladders, but
quite a bit scarier! Definitely didn't look down on this one!!

Supporting the Ministry of Troyeville Baptist and the Touch Life Centre

Many of you have asked about how you can support the ministries here in Troyeville. We love your prayer support and we know that God is answering in wonderful ways!

If you'd like to support the ministries financially, here are some of the current needs:

Sponsor a Child at Touth Life Centre: Tuition for our preschool is R300 (~ $40), but most families can only afford to pay about R 50 - the rest is provided by donations. If you sponsor a child, you will enable us to continue this ministry to the community - we'll send pictures of your child and have
him or her write to you. The sponsorship would last for 3 - 4 years depending on how long the child attends our school.

All finanical contributions should go through the Virginia Baptist Mission Board (VBMB) in Richmond, VA. You can get donations to us by sending them to the VBMB office at

VBMB
Glocal Missions and Evangelism Team
Attn: Jeannette Hildebrand
2828 Emerywood Pkwy
Richmond, VA 23294-3718

Please Indicate that your donation is for The Ministries of Troyeville Baptist Church in Johannesburg, South Africa. If you'd like for your donation to go to a specific need above, please indicate that also.

Let us know your name and address so that we can thank you and send pictures of what your contributions helped support.

If you have any questions about donating, contact Terry Raines or Nichole Bulls at the VBMB office - 804-915-5000 or 800 ALL BGAV

Blessings!!!
