At 72 and 75, Lisa and Colin could be enjoying quiet days at home. Instead, they’re building a crèche out of plastic bottles and changing the world for an entire community.
The Ekmans have lived a life of service. Colin spent 16 years as a minister at Village Church Lonehill before starting a building company. Lisa was an art teacher at Riversands, near Diepsloot, and also served as Managing Director for a South African Sunday school curriculum called iVangeli. Over the years, they’d crossed paths with local community leader Bishop Dlothi, and when their working days came to an end, they knew they weren’t done making an impact.
