About Us

April 08

We have known each other for about 6 years but it wasn’t until about 3 years ago that we really spent extended time together whilst we were both working with a Church Plant in North East Scotland.

After going out for just under 2 years we were engaged on the 20th April and married on the 24th September. Even before being in a relationship we talked about our passions and goals in life, both being Christians passionate about seeing the message of the Gospel transform lives and ultimately nations!

As we prepared to be married we committed to spending at least a year settling into married life and then look for opportunities to begin training to be involved in Full time Missions work overseas. We believe that in fact All Christians are in Full time ministry where they are, their job, family, and community but we felt that God was particularly directing us to move to and work with foreign cultures.

We have been praying that we can recieve direction for where to direct this passion, and we have continually been brought to South Africa. With this in mind we took our honeymoon there and fell in love with the country and felt particularly moved by the…

Township on the Garden Route

…small marginalised makeshift communities set up called townships. Although we have no more specific leading relating to this we continued to think and pray together about it.

We got into some good conversations with people who have experience in missions in these type of communities, people we trust and respect and after these discussions we decided to look into some training programs which might act as a ’spring board’ into a more full time ministry in these areas.

After some consideration we decided to apply to a Discpleship Training Schoool which is the induction course for missionaries who want to work with YWAM. Our DTS is based in Kona with a ministry called Community Transformations which has an outreach focus in South Africa, and that is as far as we are now!….keep up to date with us on this website and email newsletters.
