Eden--on the southern coast of South Africa.
South Africans know the southernmost region of the Western Cape as green and inviting. The temperatures, climate, location between the mountains and the sea all make it a favoured destination for vacationers and permanent residents from both in-country and abroad. The location choice as a ministry came from Dave and Julie Rudolph, seasoned church planters and South African residents who moved east from Durbanville in the Cape Town suburbs and began ministries in nearby Sedgefield and also in Knysna.
After a visiting music tour from Florida we were a part of was invited to perform along the Western Cape, Kristen and I fell in love with the Knysna area and the Garden Route region. God miraculously allowed us to move to this area in 2013 and we haven't looked back since.
Although we went through the horrific Fire of 2017 where much of the Knysna landscape and homes were destroyed, our hearts belong here to this wonderful region and to the people who live along the southern coastline.
