| Tyndale was begun in 2003 in a rented house, and was first known as Trinity Cottage. However when the family moved into the NEW house, made possible by the good will of Tyndale Christian School in South Australia, we decided to re-name it - so now it is Tyndale Cottage. |
|
| A Home to some 25 children, boys and girls between the ages of 1 and 18. Mica and Senge Catherine YEGO started this Home, and remain the Houseparents up to date. They have forged a family that is knit very close, and there is a very special and loving atmosphere amongst them all. |

This is not to say that 'family feeling' and loving care is not apparent in the other three Homes, but perhaps because of the currently very young age of the majority in Tyndale it seems realised more instantly there. And of course this is a family that has, in the majority, been together since the onset with the same 'Mum and Dad'. The few new members that have joined in with them found an established family, with established relationships. They just were sucked in and became almost instantly absorbed into the general atmosphere.
Mica and Catherine, shown below, were newly weds when they began the Home. They were to remain childless in their marriage for almost seven years until their little son Steven was born in November 2009. During that time they became parents to more than 30, and by the time Steven was given to them, they had learned a great deal about parenting - and they were more than prepared to receive from God one of their very own making. And the entire family rejoiced and erupted with happiness at this addition to their family. Looking behind the family group - bottom right - you can see the end of DRAKELEY Cottage. Jacaranda is just hidden to the LEFT, in between the two. A very compact compound, yet with enough play space and openness so that the whole is in no way cramped or overcrowded. |
