We struck gold! Our 50th wedding anniversary today. Married in Shelly Beach at the Full Gospel Church on the 7th of October 1972. My grandfather, pastor J.L. Dinsdale officiated.
I thank the Lord for His faithfulness in our lives. Many highs and lows but through it all He helped us through.
Blessed with 5 children, 8 grandchildren and 21 foster babies through our home. I thank God that we minister together ❤.

An update. Our 4 babies are doing very well. God is faithful. Please keep our little boy in your prayers on Monday. He will be going for surgery next week. They need to help him to be able to breathe properly. Trusting God for a full recovery and that he will be reunited with his family soon. Thank you for prayers and support. Lots of love. Nana.

It's been an amazing week.
Our home now has 4 babies. 2 came in on 1 day!
3 girls and 1 boy.
Imi is doing well. He has picked up weight and now weigh 7.5kgs.
He is a little live wire. Always happy.
Blessing is acting up a bit. She is mimicking all the babies cries. We make sure we still let her feel she is special
Our 4 month old is still needing a lot of attention. I am so grateful for Cindy.
And then we have a newborn! 7 days old. Dainty little girl. I am a bit sleep deprived but feel so grateful to the Lord for leading these little ones into our home.
Also grateful for the people who make it possible for us to do this.
God is faithful!

I know that this page has not been updated in a while.
Much has transpired during the last couple of months and it is all good.
The Lord has been gracious to us and we get to start a brand new season.
We have been blessed with a calling to care for abandoned and at risk babies. We have a baby in our care who has been with us since she was 7 weeks old. She is now 11 months old and such a blessing to us. Each day she is with us brings joy to our hearts.
Going forward we are trusting the Lord for great things as we care for up to 6 babies at a time. Please keep us in your prayers as we navigate our way forward. Blessings.

FOR HOPE HARBOUR.

I'm undone by the mercy of Jesus.
I'm undone by the goodness of the Lord.

The past couple of weeks have been a time of sadness and confusion.
But today we make a proclamation and step out in faith.
The last 2 years have been filled with loneliness and a sense of not belonging.
We are moving back to Scottburgh to continue short term foster care for infants.
My heart is also to work with the Mommies and I have done a counseling course through Africa Cares for Life to equip myself for this.
While we have been in Gauteng we felt the call was still on us to minister to abandoned babies. We tried to join hands and help in the community but were always regarded with suspicion as nobody really took the time to get to know our heart and our journey. We have sown into these ministries and I pray they will continue to be blessed.
Those who do know us, also know the journey we have travelled. We have been blessed but we have also lost so much. Danie was retrenched from 2 jobs. This was meant to stop us doing what we have been called to do.
We have lost precious friends because of lies that leadership put out there. Heartbreaking when memories come back and I realise how much we have lost.
We have lost our home which was fully equipped for babies. All I have left is a car seat....
Our earthly belongings fits into 70sqm.
We have cared for babies during this time. Even in this small space.
Amanda our foster child has been reunified with her Mom and we still support her till her Mom can obtain her grant.
15 babies have crept into our hearts since 2010. Some stayed 3 years and some stayed 5 years. The last 2 stayed for 3 months.
This is a step of faith and we trust the Lord to provide us with a home.
and a spiritual home where we belong.
Thank you for the friends who have supported us financially and in prayer.
Bob and Pauline your support has kept us going and helped us sow into the lives of others. Thank you.
To my children in the UK. Thank you for your financial help as we have walked out this 3 years of not being employed.
Thank you Lee and Claudio for a roof over our heads.
Thank you to Lydia from GFC for reminding us that we did make a difference and we will still make a difference in the lives of these babies.
Please keep us in your prayers as we trust the Lord to open the doors for a home and provision to fulfill the call.
Today Hope Harbour stands up again!
Love and blessings to all.
