This summer, I’ll be traveling to George, South Africa for the first time to partner with Life Christian Academy—an incredible ministry serving under-resourced children and families through education, discipleship, and community support. Our team will host a “Holiday Club” (South Africa’s version of VBS), sharing God’s love through games, crafts, teaching, and worship. I’m so excited to step into this cross-cultural mission and join what God is doing through LCS!
I’m thrilled to share that this July, I’ve been given the opportunity to travel to George, South Africa with a team from The Shoreline Church to serve at Life Christian Academy—and I’d love to invite you to be part of it.
Life Christian Academy is a Christ-centered school serving underprivileged children from preschool through 8th grade. In addition to providing meals and education, they also equip women in the local community with practical job skills like sewing and crocheting so they can earn a sustainable living.

Our mission is grounded in Matthew 28:19—“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…”—and that’s exactly what we’re going to do. We’ll be hosting a “Holiday Club” (South Africa’s version of Vacation Bible School) for some of the children in the area. Through games, crafts, dancing, storytelling, and teaching, we’ll be sharing the life-changing Gospel of Jesus with kids—many of whom may be hearing the gospel for the first time.
To make this trip possible, I need to raise a total of $3,500—and I’m currently $1,500 away from reaching that goal. If you’re able to support me financially, I would be deeply grateful. All gifts are tax-deductible through The Shoreline Church.
Here’s how you can be involved:
-
Pray – for our team, our safety, and for God to open hearts in South Africa.
-
Encourage – a kind word or note goes a long way as we prepare to serve.
-
Give – you can donate online at give.theshoreline.org

Thank you so much for considering this. I’m expectant and hopeful for what God will do on this trip—not just in the lives of those we serve, but in our hearts as well.
