I hope by now your kids have told you who I am but if not; I am one of the leaders. I hope you've been enjoying the stories they write and the growth they've all been walking through. I wanted to just thank you all for allowing them to come to Africa. You letting go a little for this is allowing them space to figure out who God is calling them to be. They have taken on every challenge set forth and have best represented Christ to people here. I don't know from experiace that letting your kid go to another country is hard BUT I do know that it's...

some things i have learned well on this trip. The depth of who we are cries out for the depth of who He is. In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps. IF God was small enuf to fit in our minds, He wouldnt be big enuf for our needs. That anytime you go through a hard place thats because Gods geting ready to raise you up.So keep praising him.If He is for you who can be against you. The unseen world has influense over the visible. If people of God will not reach for the kingdom. The realm of darkness is ready to display its ability. God tells us to pray "on...

Life on the Field

Most of these refer to our life in the bush of Africa for the first six weeks of our trip. Life in the bush of Kenya living with tribes tends to be pretty entertaining… who knew?! DID YOU KNOW… – You can hydro-plane on gravel – Pregnant women give birth and home and do yard work in between contractions – We are all qualified to teach any grade any subject here in Africa – I MILKED A CAMEL! (who knew that was even possible..?) and a goat. – In the African bush its necessary to watch closely where you walk beacuse your surrounded by trees and...

Since arriving in Kenya a few months ago, we have done a lot of moving. Our surroundings are constantly changing and there has been very little constancy. BUT…it has been so good in so many ways. I left my house 3 days before I had to leave for training camp and stayed in River Falls, WI with some of my best friends. Then, I flew to Atlanta, GA. The first night we stayed in a homeless shelter and then moved to the training camp in Gainesville, GA for 3 days. Finally, we arrived in Kenya after a stop in...

Free Falling

Harness secure… Check. Toes over the edge… Check. Eyes looking straight out in front of me… Check. Now all I have to remember is to breathe… "Three! Two! One," called the instructor, "JUMP!" I bend my knees just enough to launch me from the platform. I swing my arms out in front of me as my body lurches forward into the air. I watch as the mountains in the distance start to move upward as I start to fall. I can't breathe. My stomach feels like it's going to slide up my throat. I think I'm going to throw up… As I soar into the...

God’s Not Finished With Me Yet

Now two months into this trip, God has blessed our team abundantly both in personal walks with Christ and with ministry. In the six weeks we've spend at the three different tribes, we've seen 100 people saved: 17 in the Maasai tribe, 16 in Kikuyu, and 67 in Pokot. With just one month of the trip remaining, we've had “double fruitfulness” prophesied over our team. Though we all realize this last month will fly by, God's not finished with us yet. Amazing things are coming to our team! Even as we head home, I know God will continue to use us all for His glory....
