Floyd & Sally McClung

When we moved to South Africa it seemed like a huge impossibility for us to buy a home. Many reasons - lack of funds, very high prices, not being able to get a mortgage (a “bond” in South Africa), etc. We looked at places to rent, but found that to be a […]

We’ve had some pretty big things we’ve been praying for recently - both personally and for our workers.  We’ve needed to see some “impossible” things happen!
A family has been making plans to come from Germany to join the ministry here.  Although the Home Affairs department in South Africa had granted their visa, the embassy […]

George…..and friends!
I recently had quite a surprise when I looked outside on the living room deck and saw a large baboon walking along the railing. I had heard of “George,” as he’s called by everyone in the neighborhood, but this was my first time to “meet” him. Baboons normally move around in […]

We’re in a season of hosting a number of short term teams from overseas who are coming to minister here. We’re often asked if groups of people coming into a new culture can really do much good in 2-3 weeks. We always say emphatically “yes!!” Recently we had a small example of […]

Floyd and I recently took a couple days to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary.  Forty years.  Wow - that’s a lifetime!  I have lots of friends that aren’t even that old.  The children of Israel wandered in the desert for that long.  When we speak of it, we talk about how l-ooooo-n-g that was!!  […]

I must confess that I don’t like the kinds of questions that have to do with “biggest,” “most,” “best.”  You know the kind I mean.  What is your most embarrassing moment?  What is the best…….?  What is your biggest…..?  I don’t tend to think in those terms, and I always feel so put on […]
