Meet the South Africa Mission Team....

Small team, but mighty in the Lord! Meet the three saints that are going off to experience God in South Africa in just two weeks.

Glynn Smith, mission trip leader and SAMission Board Member, bringing AIDS education to Africa. Glynn is coordinating all aspects of this tactical effort to teach twelve schools again this year.





Mark Carey, long time friend and bible study partner for about eight or ten years of Glenn's. Mark lives in Long Beach California with wife Kathy. They have three children all married and there are at least a handful of grandchildren.




Susan O’Hara who Glenn met indirectly through attending the same International AIDS seminar at Saddleback church two years ago. Susan wanted to go with us last year but was not able to because of family circumstances.





The Good news . . . . . Initially a little disappointing that they only have a three-person team going from the USA this year, especially after the ten-adult and eight-teenager team from last year. Anyway they just accepted that this is God’s plan for this year and started to plan accordingly. The good news is that they are still going to teach twelve schools again this year even with our reduced contingent from America. This means that our local partners are starting to take this program over and make it their own. This is what needs to happen:

Support this trip . . . . With two and a half weeks left before we leave we are still a little short of their trip support goal. If you are able or feel led to support this trip, your contribution would be most helpful. God has never left us short and we know that whatever he provides will be sufficient.

Support an Orphan . . . . If you are not already sponsoring a child, we have two hundred children from Richards Bay on the sponsorship list with Horizon International. There are probably about a hundred and fifty of those kids that still need sponsors for $35 per month.

Be a Monthly donor . . . . Because of a handful of donors making monthly pledges to SAM we are now able to start helping some of our partners in Richards Bay. Some like Kenny just unselfishly working for the Lord and trusting that he will provide. Then there is Clement and Thuli that have taken on the responsibility of caring for all those kids in need.
