We are a group of young couples from Valley Church in West Des Moines, Iowa who have felt God's call to help The Pines Christian Care Center for Children in Welkom, South Africa as they care for children who have been orphaned by the AIDS Pandemic in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Kindra and I are in the planning process of leading another team from Valley Church to go back to The Pines in February. So, we will once again start updating this blog with new content for that trip.

I have finally taken some time to re-design the blog so it is no longer a standard Blogger template (Yay! -- as a computer geek, it was driving me nuts). I still have a few bugs to work out and some cool little things I want to add; those will come in due time.

Please be praying for God to raise up a team from Valley who will be able to be a blessing to The Pines. In addition, this is the first time Kindra and I have attempted to lead something like this, so please be praying for us as well. Finally, if you feel led, please be considering financially supporting this team - it has been a financially tight year for us (as I'm sure it has been for many others), but that gives God an opportunity to be glorified by providing for the trip (I've been reading John Piper, if you can't tell).
