  • Photo by houghtoncollege: Today we’re taking a break from our student stories here on campus to introduce you to “Where are they❓ Wednesdays” A new opportunity for our Highlander alumni to reconnect with former classmates, for current students to see what God has called former Highlanders to and for prospective students to see what amazing things Highlander family members are doing for His glory! 📣InTrOdUcInG: Sarah (Haver) Terwey ’02❗ Sarah earned her degree in Communications/Intercultural studies, as well as a minor in Equestrian Studies at Houghton. After several years of further study and experience in missions and HIV/AIDS training, she joined Pfunanane Ministries and Academy in Modjadjiskloof, South Africa in 2007, as their sponsorship and ministry coordinator. @pfunanane_ministries works to uplift impoverished families through education, training, and family support. Pfunanane seeks to share the gospel through both words and deeds, acting as Christ’s hands and feet to the local areas, and training up the future leaders of South Africa, a country with high crime, unemployment, and HIV/AIDS rates. Over the past 12 years with the ministry, Sarah has started a therapeutic horse riding program, as well as coaching the academy’s cross country and athletics teams, and running their music/drama department. She also continues to run the sponsorship program of more than 125 children in preschool through university, as well as assisting with the daily operations of the non-profit. Sarah and her husband Mark are parents to 13 adopted/foster kids and two biological kids, as well as fostering and caring for many other children in need throughout the years. Sarah and her family as well as her ministry will be featured on our story today! That’s life as a Highlander💜💛 #highlanderalumni #forhisglory #houghtoncollege #wherearetheyweds
