The Garnie Family In Namibia

THANK YOU for visiting our site..

We want this site to be another way of keeping in touch with you and trust that it will prove an updated means of knowing how we are getting along as missionaries here in Namibia and the rest of the World.

To get started there is some basic information about us. As time progresses we will be posting more news and information.

Born and raised in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe Eric was educated at Founders High School followed by three years at the Bulawayo Techinical College where he graduated with a National Higher Diploma (with Honours) in Environmental Health. This lead to a career as an Environmental Health Officer with the Bulawayo City Council. After seven years of service, during which time he rose to the position of Senior Health Inspector, Eric resigned and travelled to the USA for a one year attachment to a Christian Music Ministry called the Carpenter's Tools International. Following this one year attachment he returned to Zimbabwe to take up a position with Youth For Christ Zimbabwe. After one year as a Ministry Co-ordinator he was appointed to the position of Centre Director for Bulawayo and then to the position of National Director of YFC Zimbabwe. In 1993, while still in the employ of YFC Eric attended the Haggai Institutes facility in Singapore for a one month intensive leadership development course.

On the 11th December 1993 we were married at St Francis Anglican Church in Barham Green, Bulawayo.

1996 - After 8 years of ministry with YFC Zimbabwe Eric accepted a call to serve as the Senior Pastor of Revival Centre Ministries, where he served faithfully until 2005 when again a call to a new assignment was accepted. This call lead Eric and Faye to move from Zimbabwe to Okahandja - Namibia.

Faye was born in Bulawayo, the only daughter of Chappie and Hilary Bent.

Faye completed her High Schooling at Montrose High School and then began her working career. Faye worked at a bank and then for a transport company.. Following breaks after the birth of the two girls (Larnelle and Sydney), Faye accepted a post as warehouse manageress for a textile firm.

Faye now serves in Christ's Hope International as the Office Manageress/Administrator.
