  Her story rocked me, and still hits me hard today. But more than her story, it was her attitude and resilience that stood out most. Getting out to meet the clients is exciting because we get to meet them where they work. This part of the trip in Kenya was [...]

  africa '09, the latest 5 comments

  It was a beautiful morning waking up in Kampala! Wow… It feels weird saying that even now. It was (and still is) hard to believe that I was there. The day was fresh, and I was anticipating some cool experiences as we made a few stops and hit the road for our [...]

  connect, the high calling 2 comments

  A couple of years ago I joined a startup network of Christian bloggers. I wasn’t sure if I would get anything out of this thing, or if I’d be able to add any value to it either. As it turns out, it was one of the best things that I’ve [...]

  [the africa diaries] day nine: headed to kampala

  africa '09, the latest 1 comment

  Leaving Kenya and flying to Uganda was the biggest thing on our agenda for this day. I have to admit that it was tough leaving my new friends in Kenya. Because of the great distance, I knew that it wasn’t likely that I’d see most (if any) of them again. Yet, their impact on [...]

  This one is a fairly new friend that I’ve made online, but… DUDE, I like that way she thinks! I love it when I see people who challenge the status quo, and not simply cave in to popular culture because it’s just easier that way. And this is exactly what [...]

  connect, culture, the high calling, the latest 7 comments

  Monica Brand is a rebel with a cause. She blogs at at Paper Bridges where she calls herself “just another Jesus freak, homeschooling mom with a blog.” The web is full of homeschooling moms who have taken up blogging, but one thing that I really appreciate about this one is that [...]

  [the africa diaries] day eight: a retreat to remember

  africa '09, featured 1 comment

  Good morning Mount Kenya! The picture above was the view through the front door of my tent as I woke up in the morning. As the sun was rising enough to light up the sky, it still had not risen enough to creep over the top of Africa’s second highest peak. We got [...]

  [the africa diaries] day seven: wrapping up business in kenya

  africa '09, featured 5 comments

  She walked up to me as I was setting up for my morning session, shook my hand, and simply stated, “I am Alice.” We laughed about that for a moment, but I never realized that this was about to be one of the most powerful moments of this trip for [...]

  africa '09, featured 1 comment

  I was finally an accomplished missionary! Well, at least in my mind I was. After all, I had just finished my first full sessions with one of the churches in Kenya, and now I was off to another. I knew that this next group that we were about to work with [...]
