Written on Jan 22nd. We had just arrived in the Masai tribe, the poorest people group group I have ever seen. Yet the moment made me turn to my teammate, Elly, and asked her to pinch me because I was sure I’d wake up any minute. We had arrived in the Masai tribe the night before and the pastor and leaders of the tribe told us that because we must be tired from travel and setting up tents that we wouldn’t have fellowship and be allowed to rest for the night (it was 11pm at this point). But from this point on, he declared there would be no more resting, and sure enough,...

Hey everyone! We're here in Kijabe, Kenya.  Everything is going great.  We will be headed to a village to visit the Massai tribe tomorrow and will be there until February 3.  We will not have internet there but be looking for great blogs on the 3rd!  Please be praying for our team as we evangelize to the Massai. 

In preparation for my journey, God has really disciplined me on how to stay in His word. Throughout the week, I've been extremely swayed by a lot of things that are not truth: fear, insecurity, doctrine, etc. I was forced to realize that in world where a bunch of things are out of whack,  His holy nature is the only thing that prevails and stands strong, true, and good. That's all I can write cause I ran out of time.

Hello all, My name is Neal Montgomery, I was one of the two leaders on this past semesters trip to Kenya. I would like to upload a photo, but I can't find the cord since I am still living out of my backpack for a little longer.

It may take some time to see all the changes that have happened but here are a few things that have been encouraging to me. I have seen my...

I wake up in the morning at about 6:30 am to the sound of Paulina's Ipod alarm clock and lay on my what has now become incredibly comfortable sleeping pad snuggled in my sleeping bag, trying to ward of the freezing Kijabe morning.  I'm usually one of the first ones up and I treasure the quiet time in the morning where I listen to the Lord, plug in my bright yellow Ipod, or read my bible.  Soon, I see Taylore wake up and head to the bathroom with a handfull of bobby pins, ready to fashion her perfect bun. At around 8 am, Nikki is already full of energy, and her and Neal...

My dear friend Lesley has a poster on her wall that says, "Where you live should no longer determine whether you live".  That phrase on the poster always moved me and fed my hunger for justice, especially in Africa.  Since living in Kenya for almost 3 months now, the Lord has been adding to that phrase and has continually reminding me that He has called me to be a minister of reconciliation and of justics.  He has said, "Where my people live should not determine whether they have heard about Jesus, whether they have full bellys when they go to sleep, whether...
