April 2018 the leadership of Mission Thando was handed over to local leaders. This also meant that the Bryce Homes program would be run by them. It was all a big step of faith, trusting God that He would carry the ministry. In November Krista had the opportunity to visit South Africa and check on how it was all doing. The ministry continues to grow with a strong Biblical foundation. The leaders have maintained a strong unity and have worked hard to carry on the heart of the ministry that Dave and Krista started.

Thank you for your continued Support of the Ministry in South Africa. The families being assisted with monthly food parcels are so incredibly thankful. The monthly food parcels help more than you can imagine and with the rising costs of food in South Africa the needs continue to grow. Here is a brief update of the ministry and how things are carrying on. Krista saw that the ministry is not only surviving it is growing. God has allowed the new leaders to reach into areas that Dave and Krista could not. The community respects the leaders and they continue to be called upon in the same way Krista and Dave were. Thank you for all you have done!!

The Men's group that Dave had started hascontinued to grow. Philani and Joshua have been leading it and have made a huge impact onthe young and older men in the community. This was so exciting for Krista to see when she visited.

Falu and Sthembile are doing so well thanks to Bryce Homes. They are very involved in the church and Sthembile is currently doing grade 11 in school. Falu goes to special school and is also learning to Garden in our project.

Samke was formerly in Bryce  Homes and just recently graduated from grade 12!!!

The leadership team in SA has done a great job keeping everything going! Please continue to pray for them.
