  • About This Campaign

    We are heading back to Life Christian Academy, a nonprofit organization in George, South Africa on July 3rd, 2025. LCS is a Christian school for the underprivileged in George, South Africa, which operates grades preschool to 8th grade, runs a daily community feeding program, a foster program, and retrains South African women to make a living wage by sewing, crocheting, and knitting and selling their goods.

    As we did on the last trip, we will be running a “holiday club”, which is the South African equivalent of a vacation bible school here in the states. This holiday club will cater to some of the poorest of children in the surrounding area, where we will interact with native speakers of the Xhosa, Afrikaans and Zulu languages, and show them the love of Jesus through teaching God’s Word, games, and story telling.

    We began to invest in this relationship with Life Christian Academy, and their amazing kids, and we can’t wait to go, pouring into them while serving as the hands and feet of Jesus. Our hope is to help equip and connect the teachers with skills and resources as we build God’s Kingdom together. Every willing heart can help!

    We’ll will be giving periodic updates on the trip for everyone that donates, and we can’t wait to see what amazing things that God has in store for us on this trip to George.

    Thank you so much for considering to donate! Since The Shoreline Church is a 501(c)3 non-profit all donations given are tax deductible and you will receive a donation statement at the end of the year.

    Please watch the video below on the amazing things that the Christian Life Academy is doing for the underprivileged.

    Good Luck Scott, and may God’s Blessings carry you forth to bring God’s glory and health and happiness to those kids. You know I pray for you each day, for your health , well-being; and Thank Him, that you are full of Mathew 22:36-40. “ As for you, be strong, and don’t give up, for your work will be rewarded. And seeing smiles on the kids faces is indeed a reward.
    God Bless you and your wife.
