terra incognita
As much as I love adventure, I learned long ago that an adventure without friends is not worth having! So this is my way of taking those I love along with me for this new exciting season. I couldn't do this without your support. Currently, I am with a team of 8, embarking across North and West Africa on a 6 month road trip. We are seeking out marginalized people groups, training community leaders, and relationally mapping opportunities for long term work.

The Unknown
Ironically, this routine has become quite familiar to me. I stow my bags, place my books and headphones in the seat back in front of me, and slide the enclosed blanket under my legs. Latching my seatbelt, I can’t help but give a sardonic smile as the words “help yourself before attending to those around you!” blare through the cabin speakers.
I sit back, close my eyes, and let the feeling sink in. It grips my heart, but I love it. The plane taxis away from all that I hold familiar. My breath stalls in my throat like that initial step off the edge of a cliff; there’s no stopping now. Only the unknown ahead. I can’t help but smile. This is where I feel alive.

In Qatar, on the way to North Africa. Had 19hrs in Doha, where Anna and I visited the Souq Waqif. Falling in love with the Arab culture!

This is what the kingdom sounds like to me :)

This is the latest video I did to help out A.I.M in raising a team to work with this unreached people group. This was supposedly the first time anyone has been allowed to film in the Boya Hills of South Sudan. It was quite an honor to be there with them in person.
This is one tool that our team has been equipped with. We are so excited to find opportunities to share this with marginalized people groups we meet in West Africa.
It’s a damp day to be walking around on foot, but I’m excited to try out my new rain jacket. Now we’ll see if it can hold up under the deluge of Western Africa.
Here is a video of an All Nations friend, Noah Kaye, that I have the amazing privilege of serving beside. He had some friends come and shoot this video for him (so, not mine), and I’m looking forward to seeing more of their work. It’s another glimpse of the world I’m apart of here, so hope you enjoy.
Ok, here it is. The latest video. This briefly covers some of our last adventures, and some of the adventures to come.
My biggest regret was not getting to include three priceless members of the East Africa team (Ric Hicks, Christianne Vanderzanden, and Jonathan van Heerden), or introduce you to the three other amazing North/West Africa team members (Sonja, Maari, and Jay).
Hopefully soon :)
