We have recently received pictures from Valencia of the ‘packed out’ community/school building we completed in April 2012. See the pictures in the photo gallery.

Since the completion of the building:
  1.  Even more youth (477) are part of the. feeding program
  2. The AIDS counseling program is in full swing 
  3. The gardens for grannies are ready for their first crop.  
 It humbles me that a group of unskilled youth made this place possible. 

We are now looking forward to the 2013 rendition of the YMP project as we will be going back to Ebenezer care centre to add more beds for orphans.  Our plan this year is to finally broach the multi-story design we have for using shipping containers.  Our intent is to build a 2 story unit for 32 children.  Our support is up and the number of participants on the YMP trip exceed 150, so we will build a second floor on the structure.  This home will be supporting another very successful community work for Jesus Christ that we have worked with several times....

Take the long way home..........

Thoughout this year the only thing constant is change, the one thing that never  changes is our goal to remain faithful to Christ and continue to do our part to build His kingdom either physically or spiritually.  Whether that is; continuing on with the YMP trips, building schools and orphanages through Hope for the Nations and Rainbow FM, creating affordable gated housing in South Africa via the new venture of CHS (Container Housing Solutions)  or even returning to Middle Park to keep the camp moving forward our focus is the same.   WE are HIS workmanship created to do good works IN Christ.  WE all have one life to live and WE all will continue to have an audience of only one that really matters, now and forever.  My prayer is that WE all continue to think about our time on earth here in that light…. As many of you are aware, we a re in transition.  What d oes that mean for a family of 5 now residing on 3 continents… No matter what we do it is going to be a long way home

There truly is no 'I' in Team.....

     Middle Park Camp      As we complete the take-down of the 2016 Middle Park Camp I must admit I am trying to figure out where the summer has gone.  (Normally in Wales it is on a Tuesday) (Kidding) More importantly how everything was setup, used, taken down and stored with such precision.  I can only attribute that to the remarkable team that has grown over the past 9 years of summer camp here in Middle Park now under the leadership of Howell & Nita Hodgett.   Not only was the Wales National MP3 camp held, but new to our calendar the Sporting Marvels group from the Rhonda Valley, the Farmers Community Network prayer meeting and a wedding.  Most work was completed this year by not only our regular volunteers but also a concerted effort by a group of local farmers who have adopted the camp and see its value in the local Christian community.  I must admit that as I washed the dishes for the MP3 camp and facilitated program events for the Sporting Marvels camp, I could se

Happy new year…! (Read with a deep movie promoters voice) From the makers of ‘ where in the world is Carmen San Diego’ …… And ‘ Where’s Waldo’ or ‘Where’s Wally’ if you happen to live in the UK.   Here comes the epic 2020 sequel… Where’s Bill? 2019 in red   2020 in blue I must admit that the last year has been a bit of a blur.   Facebook was kind enough to tell me that I have actually visited and worked in 9 countries in 2019 …    It has been the best of times and the worst of times, but through it all we continue to try to remained faithful to the One… As many of you know as a family we have been transitioning out of the UK since 2015.   However, with changes in the commercial South Africa opportunities, the collapse of our house sale in Rhyl and with constantly expanding opportunities to help NGO’s around the world, the transition has been anything but quick or smooth.   I apologize for not ‘keeping
