The end of a visit .. the start of a new Mission!!!

Today marks the last day of Andre Brandmuller's visit to Saline Michigan. It was a successful visit in that it created awareness and raised some support for the Middelburg Care Village. The Mission Committee of the First Presbyterian Church has indicated that they wish to become involved in the business of the Care Village by way of mentorships by way of Skype as well as coming to visit the Village in 2017.

A number of individuals have also committed to making regular monthly contributions to the Care Village. We are looking forward to a long and fruitful relationship with the Rev Jaco Bester and the First Presbyterian Church. The long term partnership has the potential of addressing  the real and long term vision of providing skills and education to the children at the Village.
