No, really. My skin has felt like it’s been on fire since we left for Maasai land. It has been so incredibly worth it though! These past few days, I’ve felt like I’m in The Lion King….minus the lions 🙂 We’ve seen giraffes, elephants, gazelles, and teal-colored birds. We’ve seen stars that seem close enough to touch, trees just like in the movie, and long, rolling mountains that stretch as far as the eye can see. Most importantly, though, we’ve experienced the Maasai people. They mostly wear brightly-colored wraps (just pieces of fabric), an...

     So my last blog was a short summary of what we have done while here in Africa. Yesterday we arrived in Kenya and headed up to Nanyuki. After blogging we are headed out to the bush to minister to a Maasai village. While there we will do some evangelism and play with orphans. I’m expecting God to do some amazing things with our team and through me.       This past week my team went out into the village by Torroro, Uganda. I really liked it there because of the simplicity of life. As I talked with Pastor Francis he told me that they...

Well, we survived Uganda and are in KENYA! Uganda was such a wonderful experience but I am really looking forward to the upcoming weeks. One big thing that God has been showing me is what it means to fear Him. I was having some quiet time at the village the other day and I crossed a verse that said something about fearing God. I realized that I really don’t know what it is to fear the Lord. I’ve heard the phrase before but I have never ran after it full force. But God said buckle up! He took me to Deut. 10 beginning in verse 12. The whole section is titled Fear the Lord in my...

Last week (the night of the 23rd, to be exact) was a night like any other night. Everyone had gone to bed, and I was still up just studying the word and praying. After dozing off for a couple minutes, I decided it was high time to hit the sack. Before I could though, I had to take care of some business. When nature calls while you are traveling, you answer. Or it will answer for you. So I grab some TP, my headlamp, and unlock the door and head to the squatty potty which is only a short walk from the house. Coming back, maybe 2 or 3 minutes later, I looked up and thought I saw the shadow of...

uganda uganda uganda uganda… so here I am in kenya getting ready for our 25 mile hike into the bush to hang out with giraffes and zebras and the INTENSE  maasai tribe. And much has happened, much to come. PRAISE GOD, wow he is faithful and fun 🙂 i love Jesus!   our team spent one week in the town of Tororo and after leaving the town we ventured off into a distance remote village, Morkebu.  I was expecting for the ugandans to treat us the same as those in town, but of course my expectations were  very very very wrong (kinda a recurring theme throughout this trip)...
