50 for 50 Quest
Many people who know me are aware of two things: I turned 50 today, and I have a fear of heights!
So, on my 50th birthday, I faced that fear by abseiling the world’s highest commercial abseil. I am doing it for my *50 for 50 Quest*, trusting God to help us send 50 young people to camp.
This quest is deeply personal to me. On my 17th birthday, I committed my life to following Jesus. That morning, I read a book of the Bible, prayed, repented, and began my journey with Jesus. It was the best decision I have ever made.
My hope is that, through this quest, another young person may have the opportunity to encounter Jesus and begin a life-changing journey with Him too.
Rather than receiving birthday gifts, I am inviting friends, family, churches, and partners to celebrate with me in one of two ways:
### 1. Help a young person go to camp
For many learners, a school camp is a normal part of their Grade 7, 10, or 11 year. For hundreds of young people, however, an experience like this is simply out of reach.
I still remember taking my first underprivileged learner to camp. This young person had never slept in a bed of their own and had never tasted a pie. It reminded me that things many of us take for granted can feel extraordinary to someone else.
But my hope goes far beyond providing a bed, a tasty meal, or even a first opportunity to see the ocean. I want young people to experience the joy of camp, build meaningful relationships, and discover the love of God in a safe and welcoming environment.
A full camp sponsorship is **R1,200 per young person**, but every contribution will help.
For my 50th birthday, I am trusting God to help us send 50 young people to camp, with a total goal of R60,000
You can:
- Sponsor one young person for R1,200
- Join with friends or colleagues to sponsor a camper
- Contribute any amount towards the R60,000 goal
### 2. Become a monthly SU partner
You can help sustain Scripture Union’s ongoing ministry by signing up for a monthly debit order from as little as R99 per month, or by choosing any amount you feel led to give.
This regular support helps SU continue showing up in schools and communities, creating opportunities for young people to hear the Gospel, engage with Scripture, and be supported in their walk with God.
When completing the debit order form, please select or specify *KZN*.
Will you help me conquer my fear, celebrate 50 years, and give 50 young people an experience they may never otherwise have?
