Africa 2010

There is a song that says "Africa, I came to change you but instead you changed me...." Never a truer word sung. We had the pleasure of making our first trip (I hope there will be more) to the continent of Africa in July. We were in southern Africa in the country of Zimbabwe. Beautiful, incredible people with open hearts eager to share the love of God and share their love with us. Our team spent a good bit of time in schools - we think we saw over 4,000 school children. Talk about falling in love. I have not really had the time or actually I dont think I have been ready yet to analyze exactly how the trip changed me but I know the time will come when God will reveal exactly what it is He wants me to carry in my heart from those days. In the meantime I will share some pictures with you and tell you that the love of Christ compels us to step out and share His name, His love and His salvation to the world He loved enough to create and sacrifice His son for. Whether its here or hours and hours away - For God so loved the world, He gave His one and only Son, that who so ever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
