What is it like to stay on the mission base and work for BTN? Some of our volunteers share their thoughts. |

Senior Learning Centre Supervisor I came to Shayandima as a volunteer in January 1995. Since then God has led me to stay here and continue to serve in the school. Over the years I have experienced God's provision in amazing ways. He made it possible for me to complete a degree in theology and a diploma in education. He also caused me to meet my wife here. We've been blessed with two beautiful children and continue to see God's provision in our day-to-day lives. God is amazing! |

Primary School Supervisor SSOT is a key part of the BTN ministry. When we first visited the mission base we were excited by the vision to reach Venda for Jesus. At the base, the community life style is stimulating. As we live and work together one is challenged spiritually on many levels. As a Learning Centre teacher in the Preschool I am blesseed when the children recite Scripture from memory. Each child in my Learning Centre knows all of Psalm 100, the 10 Commandments, the days of creation and dozens of other verses pertaining to love, faith, God's promises, and prayer. I look forward to teaching them two more scriptures every week, and have found myself challenged to learn passages of scripture every week - glory to God. |

School Receptionist When I came to the mission base I was supposed to stay three months, but have now been here for six years! I have grown so much being here and I enjoy working in the school office and Learning Centres, and going on mission trips to Zambia, Botswana, and Namibia. There have been many challenges but God has always been there for me. I have met so many wonderful people. God has put me into a wonderful family. You will grow here as God works in your life. |

Intermediate Learning Centre Supervisor Our God is a God of wonders. I felt the calling to come to SSOT (Venda) while attending the All Africa Student Convention. The Lord spoke to me and I obeyed His calling, thinking that I would be giving back to God and not knowing that I would be receiving back in abundance. Upon arriving on the mission base I felt a spirit of peace and joy. The Lord is doing mighty things not only on the base but also in my life. Just to receive the opportunity to work with the little children has taught me many things. God is moving in their lives as well as mine. Our God truly is a God of love and wonder. |
