In the beginning
When Karen came back from the UK, she had a desire to travel with a Christian travel company that would equal the ones in the UK that she had been with.
She prayed about someone who would start this up for her, and asked several people. Finally, when she was out of work and had found no one to do the work, she prayed about starting the work herself. She found Harold and Nadia, who were prepared to start this up with her, so, with a lot of prayer over the details, they did.
What was amazing was that Karen had long had a heart for employing people from poor backgrounds, as she had seen the poverty in Alexander township first hand, and had had her heart moved by their plight.
What came out of it was very unique...and they wish to share what is on offer:
Refresh Holidays offer an adventurous, well-rounded approach to rest. We enjoy activities such as white water rafting, horse riding, swimming, hiking and blobbing. Yes, blobbing. Sitting on the beach doing nothing but reading, playing volleyball etc.
Where we have the say, we offer healthy meals that we try to source organically.
We also source Fairtrade goods where possible.
We have a list of solid Bible teachers whom we ask to join our ministry team, so that we can be renewed by Jesus Christ..
And we support different ministries through our holidays - a Bible College, a Christian Environmental Initiative, an Orphanage, and Persecuted Christians. This is particularly important, as non profit organisations are currently struggling.
We trust that your experience will be as blessed as as ours has been in creating it. We have had fun, and love doing this for people, so we trust that it will come through on your holiday.
God bless
Karen, Harold and Nadia.
