` For anyone who knows me knows that I DON�fT READ! However, as I�fve learned, Africa can make crazy things happen in your life�c like read two books in two weeks. One of the books I�fve read is �gCrazy Love�h by Francis Chan�c(if you have never read this book go out and buy it�cnow and if you have read it you know exactly what I am talking about) the book talks about being �goverwhelmed by a relentless God,�h it is a compelling story and really makes you analyze your life and especially you walk with Christ. One of the chapters in the book talks about being a lukewarm Christian. One...

On the fourth of July, we had a great celebration.  The best part was not the hamburgers and hot dogs, and not even the match fireworks (ask me about it sometime, it’s awesome!).  It was the faces of the Kenyans!  Our group has grown really close to the Kenyan team that works with ICC.  It was a beautiful thing to reflect that day on how much we have grown as not two separate teams, the Kenyans and Americans, but to see how we are actually now one team working together with the love of Christ.  It has been great to see how Kenyans live and interact, but it was...

Imagine: smelling burning trash, food cooking from little shacks, and trash dumps.  Imagine: feeling the rough, dirty hands of children all over your skin because they have never seen a white person before.  Imagine: seeing shack after shack piled up next to one another with tin walls and locking eyes with children with no expression on their face.

What beautiful faces!! Hello everyone:)   Not sure what to write about this time so I’ll just recap some stuff we’ve done. We’ve been doing a food fast the past couple of weeks it’s been really good. Just been eating a slice of bread for breakfast and lunch. Also we were doing a communication fast, still doing that one. I’ve learned the most threw that. Really realizing that God’s the one that really holds the solution to what’s going on in our lives and trusting in his will.   The word surrender has come up alot lately. Really...
