Coming on this trip I had no idea what I had gotten myself into, but after training camp, I knew that I had signed up for an amazing adventure with some amazing people. This past week we did a time of worship every night and then someone would share something. Let me just tell you, that only worked two times! God showed up!!! Saturday night I was supposed to share my testimony but that never happened. Hannah and Nick decided that it would be a good time for all 9 of us to get in a circle and have everyone pray and speak life over each other. God once again showed up and it was just an...

Hello Everyone!!             It’s so great to be back in Kijabe after a week out in the bush. A few fun things I have learned so far in Africa: 1. I have mastered the art of the squatie pottie.
