Welcome Home

Over the past few weeks here, we have been working on building a house in Kabokweni for two girls whose father left and mother is dying of HIV/AIDS. With the help of our staff and visiting teams, we were able to finish this house in just over a month. These young girls who are 15 and 12 years of age, are basically left fending for themselves, while taking care of their sick mother. When we met them and saw the shack they were living in, we felt God’s calling to act upon it.
We at Ten Thousand Homes believe in more than just building the physical structure of a house but creating a home for these children, a place of safety, security, and comfort. These girls have that once again, when we welcomed them into their new house on Tuesday with singing, prayers and cake!
A big thank you to all those who had a hand in creating a home for this family!

Getting to Work
Anneke and I have been slowly stepping into our roles here at YWAM Kruger – 10000 Homes.
We have had a team from texas here for the last week and Anneke has been cooking them dinner every night. It is alot of work but she really comes alive when she is concocting something in the kitchen!! (One of the many reasons i married her).
I have been putting together an administrative office. I started with installing counter tops for work stations. I then got the coffee bar in place!! Thanks to you Texans that sent over some Starbucks for us!!! I am slowly getting systems in place to serve the staff of 10000 Homes. Alot of things were already in place and now i just have to consolidate them! I like this kinda work!
