On the Road again.

October will be the month of traveling! Im so excited to get out of the city for a little while. Next week I'll be traveling to Uganda to take part in Passion World Tour Kampala. Louie, Chris Tomlin ya know all those guys are coming over. The last time this took place in 2008 there was about 12,000 people there so I'm sure there will be even more this time. 

I'm really excited to get to see all the students who go to school in Tanzania. I have missed them all so much and looking forward to seeing some familiar faces. 

No less than a week after we return from UG I will be traveling up country to a people group called the Rendille who inhabit the Eastern Province of Kenya. These are a people who live in the forest and speak their own mother tongue. We will be going to tell stories and working with girls helping they are worth more than making babies at the age of 14. 

Facts about the Rendille 

Population is 63,000 

15% Christian but only 4.2% Evangelical

85% Practice African Traditional Religion

They offer sacrifices and pray to the moon and call their god "wakh" 

Pray This month:

- Upcoming trips ( safety, restful nights even on the bus, health)

- My health 

- Softball team at USIU opportunities for Emily and I to be bold 

Not Ashamed.

This past week I worked at RBC ( the church I attend here) for Teen's Week! The theme was Not Ashamed. I wonder if old Christian music songs pop into your head as they did mine. Oh Newsboys. Well anyways it was a great week with about 40 everyday in attendance. We had to do the activities in the afternoon due to the students attending required remedial classes by their parents/ gov. So the youth pastor was a little hesitant about who would even show up. But I think the turnout was more than any of us expected. My role included a lot of juice mixing and constructing " JimmyJamieHour." Which means there is another guy named Jimmy, he and I ran games for the week. Every afternoon we did parody's of game shows in the states and had the teens compete all week long. We wrapped up the week by teaching them Capture the Flag!

             "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, 
for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, 
        to the Jew first and also to the Greek." Romans 1:16
