Missionary South Africa Welcome to the missionary South Africa connection - the blog connection. I would like to introduce you to one of the first families to be featured here, but first a little about South Africa itself. You can never forget where the country is, of course - the name says it all. The country is famous for its gold, platinum and other minerals, but there's also agriculture including corn, wheat, sugarcane and fruits and vegetables. Other industries include metalwork and machinery, including automobile assembly. The stock exchange is one of the world's 10 largest.
Our missionary South Africa connection comes from Cape Town (the country's legislative centre), more specifically Somerset West, Cape Town. Dean and Paula Finnie and their sons Joel and Eli are serving the church in the area, and are involved in work with the poor and sick as well as leadership training. Dean is, among other things, a juggler and unicycler, so the family's interests are certainly varied! For a brief missionary South Africa overview, check out this page. The Finnie blog is called Adventures with God, and the name fits! You'll read everything from ministry stories to family news to some of the major challenges and dangers the family has faced. But the focus remains the same - there's great comfort knowing who is there with them in the adventure! News feed: feeds.feedburner.com/AdventuresWithGod The Finnie family actually has a lot of great pictures in their blog, but they also have a dedicated photoblog. You can see the pictures in Finnie's in Focus. There are lots of great photos of the kids here! If you want to be notified of new pictures, the photoblog has its own news feed at finniesfotos.blogspot.com/atom.xml This blog has been in action since July 2004, and hopefully it will keep on strong. Thanks for blogging! And thanks for stopping by the missionary South Africa page. A few more facts about South Africa  |
