Pics: Leaving Kenya; London/Spain Stopovers to Egypt

Final Days in Kenya...

Heading to London for 2 days,

Spain for a few hours, on my way to Egypt!

The last day in Nairobi was quite eventful. My mom (and dad) sent a care package for my upcoming birthday!!! Well, they sent it back in Aug to Nairobi, but i still hadn't gotten it, and it was 3 days before i was leaving... [Also, England miracle accomodation story below:]

Pics: Africa Road Trips!

Going to Rural Kenya!

So we rented a car (which reminded me of my own car back home, but the steering wheel was on the other side); and took back-to-back trips...

Pics: Safari!

Kenya Safari!

So I got to go on a 3 day safari!! It was really cool. The price at first set me off. Sheesh, couldn't i rent my own car, rent a tent, and just go??? saving about $200??? but then i thought, well, i guess i don't quite know where to go, where to camp, its not exactly like America... so i paid my money and went. [Hunt story below:]

Leaving S.Africa - Flying to Kenya

Last weekend in Johannesburg, went to Maranatha Church, met wonderful pastor, Dyrek, who is like a father/grandpa to so many people. He is a great dad... so neat to listen to him encourage the people of his church, just like a grandpa or father would - not preaching, just having a conversation with them, sharing wisdom and how to avoid pitfalls.

God Really Is Good.

Sometimes its hard to understand why something happened a way that it did. God can do anything, i believe (and have seen Him do some amazing things on this trip, so i KNOW it), and esp when i think He's led me to believe He will/can do something, and then when it doesn't happen the way or in the time that i have imagined it would - God??? What happened?? Did i hear you wrong? Did i not follow you completely... in the equation of "i obey, God opens doors"...

Take this past situation with getting to Kenya.

In Joburg, Maybe Leaving?

Hi guys,
quick note... may get on a flight tomorrow if the Lord opens a door.
All seats are booked and there has been a lot of work that had to be done
(and still is in process) to get me on a seat to Nairobi...

i'll know tomorrow.

why is this such a big deal? well, its kind of a step of faith.

Safe in Mozambique!

Just a quick update - Yesterday I took a bus from Jburg up to the Mozambique border,
and with the help of some wonderful friends (whom God provided!!!) ran across
in a windstorm (blowing sand) and went to the place where we apply for visas.

Pics: Cape Town Adventures...

Cape Town was full of serving others with All Nations ministry, fun, laughter, long days, discovering the tip of Africa, getting to know families from the nearby communities of Ocean view, playing with kids, watching people commit their lives to the Lord through being baptized, and more playing with kids... it was a great time with the Michigan team - sad sad to say goodbye... really loved my time in South Africa.
