Local Village

Here’s a couple pics from where I was at today in a local village. These are truly unique people. Just filled with hope and love.

True Beauty

Friday, January 16th, 2009

I have already had a full day. There is so much to share. We have had rain today, which makes for muddy conditions etc, but it’s a blessing as they have not had rain since Nov

We have been working in a school right outside of the Slums. My heart was so touched. The school is called Hope Christian Academy. I will go in more detail about the World Hope group later.

The kids came out and darted to sing or us. I’ve never heard anything so beautiful. It was amazing. Then they recited poetry and Bible verses. They are filled with such joy and hope. It’s truly inspirational!

I’m in awe!

The getaway.

When I decided to go, I felt that it would be good for me on a multitude of levels. Like I have said on my posts. I wanted to do something larger than life. I wanted to experience something that would impact my life in a great way.

I also knew that it would give me a major appreciation for what I have and to those around me.

I haven’t even been gone a full day yet, and I can already see things clearer. It’s amazing what a little distraction from the typical day will do for you. I have to do this more often. Ok…. Maybe not to the extreme of Africa, but getting away and taking time to clear your head and mind is very important.

I knew that this trip would help me do this. I’m a creative guy with a ton of passion and even more drive. I’m on the airplan right now typing this and reflecting about all that I have to be thankful for.

God is Good!

So I am getting on to my next flight leaving England going to Nairobi and I received a pleasant surprise. I was upgraded to world class with a much bigger seat and foot rests and of reclines wayyyy back.

Very cool to have this happen. Excited about the trip and what I’m about to experience here in about 10 hours.

Thank you all for your support and prayers.
