Share one of the most impactful moments you’ve had in South Africa.
Last year’s Thrive Trip team lead a 60 year old man to Christ. He was sick and could only walk a few steps at a time. They prayed for healing and the next day when they returned he was walking and his sickness had left him. He was completely healed and God was the only answer to that amazing miracle.

    Hi Son,

    I can probably send some more 90′s music via the Internet. But, I can’t do anything about sending more coffee – especially, Starbucks (it would never get through SA customs!).

    Love, DAD
