Verrips Family — Roy, Angela, Nathan and Luke Verrips

About Us

A Christian Family

We are Roy, Angela, Nathan and Luke Verrips, a Christian family living in Reidville, South Carolina since the summer of 2022 — when Angela's father, Don Kirkwood, also came to live with us.

We are originally from South Africa, and spent about 15 years in the Middle East — Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha, Qatar — before immigrating to the US in 2016.

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 Saviour is Gentle and Lowly in heart."

— Matthew 11:29
