Massai School Rock Show.

In our first Massai village we visited a few schools which was awesome. The day we visited the first school was a day where we had done a lot of walking and door to door(hut to hut) ministry. I think we were all pretty tired and just wanted to go back to the church we were staying at and crash in our tents. I guess you could say we were a little exhausted. We arrived at the school and right when we walked into that gr.7-8 class room there was an uproar. It was awesome! The kids were clapping and cheering because they were so excited to see...

In the deserts of the heartLet the healing fountain start, In the prisons of his daysTeach the free men how to praise.-W. H. Auden Which is more liberating, seeing a 70-year-old man gain back his eye sight after 14 years of blindness or to watch the same man release all bitterness to the Father that created him?...

Hello friends! I don’t know if you knew this but…. I’m in Kenya. I’m sorry its taken such a long time for me to update. As you have read from some of the other blogs TIA is an abbreviation we live by here. Yes, This Is Africa. Internet is hard to come by and so are showers. But, I am having such an amazing time and wouldn’t change a thing! As soon as we got to Kijabe we were informed that we would be spending the next two weeks visiting the Massai and Turkana tribes. We would have one day to rest and then it was off into the African bush to live with each of...

Starry Night

I once heard a quote that said, “Beauty is one of the rare things that does not lead to the doubt of God” and I think that is so true. This past week we went to a different village down in the rift valley (it’s hard for me to pronounce it, so I’m not even going to attempt to spell it) and I felt like every day I saw an awesome example of God’s beauty. The last night we were there we saw the COOLEST night sky I have ever seen! (Jo, you would have LOVED it). The whole entire sky was covered in bright stars, and they all seemed to be twinkling. I felt...

Hello everyone! I wrote the following blog while waiting in the Atlanta airport. It seems a bit obselete now since that was ages ago but, what the heck, I’ll share it anyway 🙂 “Today, we embark upon the Great Crusade, towards which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you! The hopes and prayers of liberty loving people everywhere march with you. The tide is turning!…And I beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.”...

The man named Joshua

Hello friends and family, So, we made it to Kenya! I’ve only been here about 2 weeks and I’ve already done so much. God is continually breaking down walls that I have put around myself and continually showing me that I can do amazing things if I just trust in Him. Lately, the ministry our team has been doing is hut to hut visits. This consists of traveling to a house, being invited in, given chai tea, telling them about Jesus, then walking to the next house which may be another mile away, and doing the same thing. Through these visits I have seen a...
