ahhhh day 23 in Kenya! We are at our 2nd location here and i love it it is so green and plenty of yummy mangoes!!! At our first house they gave us many mangoes and then later brought us a whole bag back to our camp needless to say i got my fare share of mangoes! I have never seen people so joyful in my life and have such a love for God always praising His name no matter what the sitiuation is that is in front of them! I have learned here how blessed i am and that i will decided to sing God's name no matter what. Back in the Maasi tribe there was a lady by the name of hannah that was 90...

Meru, other than Nairobi, is one of the larger cities in Kenya. I'm sitting here, at a Cyber Cafe, after having taken a short stroll down the streets of Meru with my teammate Jesse. We paid a visit to this man's small shop, where he sold an assortment of wooden goods that were, despite my disinterest in purchasing them, lovely looking artifacts, all being well crafted. Following the visit to his shop, Jesse and I found ourselves in a public library, where I spent some time reading a book on the perception of color. It was quite the drive to Meru, from our "home", if you...

These are just five basic things I learned while living in Tangi ta tu. 1. White clothes will NEVER be white again. 2. Thank God i'm not a donkey. 3. Thank God for aloe vera plants. 4. Never let the girls here do your hair. Whatever you think is hair gel. Trust me it's NOT. 5. Cows look into your soul.

"I can hear the rhythm of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. God, You are so near! My heart beats to Your rhythm, a constantly increasing sound.  My King is returning! Though when, I'm not quite sure. Father, wrap me in Your arms! Hold me close to Your chest.  Your love is a river, no, an ocean that swallows me whole!  You overwhelm me with Your goodness and gentleness.  You deal with me with infinite grace.  You, oh God, are my King!  Return for us Father!" I journaled this when I arrived at the first tribe, the Maasai village of Tangi Tatu near...

That was one of the first things that we heard when we headed out to the bush in Kenya. That we would be hanging out with the Maasai tribe for two weeks and the rite of passage that they have for their young men when they turn seventeen is that they go out, find a lion and then kill it with only a spear and it’s got to be an older one as well not a little young one.    Jamming all our stuff in the back of a pickup and then packing ourselves into a matatu (aka a small bus) we headed out from Kijabe. After riding along the bumpy rut filled roads, getting pulled over by the...

Currently, I find myself seated at a "Cyber cafe" in Naivasha. I am unsure of that spelling, but, I the internet is too slow to currently run a Google search confirming my chosen spelling, so, I will leave it spelled that way. The last two weeks of my life I have spent living of among the Masai people, working with the African Inland Church in Tangi Tatu. Tangi Tatu is likely one of the more dry and dusty places I have ever been, though, it is filled with some of the most welcoming and friendly people I have ever had the opportunity to meet. During our time in Tangi Tatu, we...
