Karoo Mighty Men

April in South Africa means Easter, School Holidays and the Mighty Men Conference.  Once again Nathan organized for a group of 9, dad's & lad's, from The Island Church to attend the Karoo MMC in Middleburg.  

A time for men to consider their God-given role as priest, prophet and king... taking their rightful place and responsibility for their family.

Most important 1st stop was breakfast on the roadside. Struan Law offered to pull the trailer.(thanks buddy!)

 At the campsite, the boys asked "Uncle Nathan where are the toilets?"  Nathan handed them a spade and said "Dig yourself a hole."

(no, really there was some long drops already prepared for them!)

Ooops... someone forgot the top of the gazebo... thank the Lord for a tarp, and the huge tent next door to protect from the wind.








What is that in Nathan's hand... Look momma, he is eating an apple!!

Found our place to sit and ready to worship with
Robert Churchyard.

 Leo Churchyard, Nathan and Kudzai (Nathan's Zimbabwean 'son')

 Crest and his father Michael (more of the Island Church gang), Nathan and Leo

 Real men cook with a gas stove... using the trailer to protect from the wind.









Final service when the wives are invited to join.
