About this episode

Mike and Megan Ribbens share their experiences of moving from the USA to South Africa and the joys they find in their new home.

20 years ago they moved from the USA to Africa . . . “I enjoy God's abundant goodness in South Africa through great people, majestic landscapes and animals, and top-tier food, wine, and coffee. I am recharged by a meaningful conversation, trying a new vibey restaurant, and having a braai with friends as well as strangers,” says Mike . . . Kerkbode
