I am here for Friends

About Me

We are keeping busy volunteering at Nazarene Compassionate Ministries Africa. Adrianne is in Child Development coordinating the 9 South African child development centers, and Brian is in HIV/AIDS Ministries coordinating 'Men for Global Healing'. We are attending church at Moroka Nazarene Church in Soweto, and enjoying having people over several times a week for dinner.
Blog Recommendation:
Anyone who has enjoyed reading our blogs will also enjoy our friend, Victor Udoewa's blog. He and Adrianne went to the same church growing up, and he is now living and working in Cape Town, South Africa. His updates include commentary on South African current events in addition to personal stuff. So take a look if you get the chance!
