We are Roy, Angela, Nathan and Luke Verrips, a Christian family living in Greer, South Carolina since the summer of 2022.
We are originally from South Africa, but before moving to the US in 2016 we spent about 15 years living as a family in the Middle East. Dubai in the United Arab Emirates was home for most of our time in the gulf, but we also lived for a year in Abu Dhabi, and two years in Doha, Qatar.
We are a bible believing Christian family who strive to put God at the center of our household. Roy and Angela are members of Reidville Presbyterian Church in America.
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)
Yours in Him
The Verrips Family

Rachel was born in March 2004
with CMV (i.e. Cytomegalo Virus) β She had chronic hepatitides and severe jaundice from 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 God shared
her with us and made her part of our family, even for such a short time.
Luke is eighteen years old and loves spending time with
people, especially when they can talk through serious things like game theory and strategy (and
sometimes just silly things too). Like his brother, Nathan, Luke loves strategy games, board
games and role-playing games: The two of them are in various clubs and online groups and
leagues, and Luke is also actively developing a mythical world called Drakomere.
There are some interesting uploads on his YouTube channel (under the handle SkilfulArcher) linked below.
We are a Christian (Protestant/Evangelical/Reformed) family who believe the
Bible to be God's true word. The below 7-minute video is a brief summary and
explaination of "What a Christian is" and "What it is Christians Believe".
