Pastor Tyler Gillit, his staff, and church people put on a spectacular conference. The Saturday night Foreign Food Festival was unbelievable.

Just shy of $79,000 for Camp Rhino
First Baptist Church of Judson, TX and Pastor Tim Smith recently decided to partner with our family. It’s always an honor when a church chooses our family to be their representatives in South Africa. First Baptist also surprised us this month by sending an extra $1500 for Camp Rhino. With this great offering our total […]
One more $1000 from Dundalk, MD
On Sunday, August 27th, I dropped into Calvary Baptist Church in Dundalk, MD to visit Pastor Stacey Shiflett and his family. It had been many years since I saw the Shiflett’s. It was through him that I made my first visit to South Africa back in 2003. I don’t believe I would be a missionary […]

The Wilds
When deciding to start Camp Rhino, I knew there would be an enormous learning curve heading into that area of ministry. Since our arrival to the States, I’ve tried to visit different camps and meet with their directors in order to gain as much knowledge as I could about camp ministry. Last month, when visiting […]
$2000 for Camp Rhino from Ohio
Sunday morning I reported back to a faithful supporter, and Sunday evening I presented our ministry in a new church. Both churches surprised me when they each gave $1000 for Camp Rhino. Calvary Chapel Baptist Church in Minster, OH has faithfully supported my family since 2001. I enjoyed seeing Pastor Robert Warnick, and the Assistant […]
Marriage Retreat
Our home church hosted a marriage retreat this past week in Atlanta, GA. They booked a hotel and conference center for the retreat only about 30 minutes away from the church. After all our traveling it was nice to have the retreat so close. I’m glad to know we have a Pastor and church staff […]
Breaking the $70,000 Mark for Camp Rhino
