Recap on Africa
The Ostrand's served as missionaries with All Nations in Cape Town, South Africa from 2010-2015.
Karl's focus was reaching kids through a soccer academy program called Ubuntu Football.
Julie's passion was working with women from under-resourced communities on job skills and creating small businesses. She is still involved with the two businesses she helped start (Beautiful Changes is a wall stencil service and EmpowerAMom.com is a sewing business that sells fun products online).
Currently
They have returned to the US and now live in Omaha, Nebraska with their 5 children.
Karl continues to coach kids, using soccer as a tool to mentor young men and is the tournament director at Sporting Omaha FC.
Julie is living out her passion to help businesses shine through design and marketing with Woohoo Marketing...while also helping people discover and leverage their strengths through Strengths Finders Coaching.
