Nicole has been with SAMS (Society of Anglican Missionaries and Senders) since 2013, and Wayne has been with the Society since 2015. They both have a passion for young people and serve as Youth Coordinators with Growing the Church, a church-growth institute located in Cape Town, South Africa, that supports the Anglican Church of Southern Africa (ACSA). Wayne also serves as a security consultant to SAMS missionaries who work in areas of risk. As a newly married couple, Wayne and Nicole enjoy walking on the beach, watching movies and just being together. Nicole is from Nashville, Tennessee, and Wayne is a native Capetonian. Their sending church (and Nicole’s parish church) is St. George’s Episcopal Church in Nashville, and they attend All Saints Plumstead in Cape Town, where Wayne also serves as a Lay Minister.

Being a cross-cultural Christian worker is an adventure; and through this blog, we will share our experiences–the highs and the lows, the joys and the concerns–in a real and honest way. We hope you’ll enjoy the journey with us.
