About
We are a Christian family living In Dubai – Currently in an apartment in Discover Gardens, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Roy is the Church Administrator for the United Christian Church of Dubai – Aside from spending time with his family he loves reading and would consider anything Linux as a hobby, although Mac OS is starting to gain popularity.
Angela works from home (i.e. is a housewife) raising Nathan and Luke – When the boys are asleep or if Roy is working late you’ll probably find her doing cross-stitch, reading the latest Francine Rivers novel, or watching whatever is on Animal Planet or Discovery Travel and Living.
Nathan is almost eight, and loves to talk, sing and read. At the moment he is fully absorbed in PSP LEGO Batman and all things related. He is in year three at St Andrews International School in Umm Suqeim – He loves Math and is learning to play the recorder.
Rachel was born in March 2004 with CMV (i.e. Cytomegalo Virus) – She had chronic hepitites and severe jaundice since birth that eventually lead to complete liver failure, and she went to be with our Lord in November 2004. Her constant smile touched everyone it fell upon and we are honoured that she was part of our family, even for such a short time.
Luke is two and a bit years old, and he seems to love life and is adamant on living it to the full. You’ll find Angela and myself constantly running to catch, console or comfort a fall, scrape or bump, only to see him seconds later head off to try or experience something else, fearless, and giggling for joy as he runs.
We’ve lived in Dubai for more than 7 years now and are a bible believing Christian family who put God at the center of our household. We are members at the United Christian Church of Dubai who meet at the Dubai Evangelical Church Center in Jebel Ali on Fridays.
We pray and trust that God will continue to strengthen us in His mercy and grace, and that we may be a blessing to those He brings across our path.
Our God is an awesome and gracious God!
Yours in Him
The Verrips Family
