Kenya Safari

It is so awesome to be in a place where baboons walk on the shoulder of the highway as we pass by at 100 km / hour! The journey to the safari park was almost as beautiful as the main event.
 
The safari yesterday was a wonderful way to unwind after a jam-packed 9 days, especially on the heels of our previous days HIV/AIDS home visits in Nairobi slum.
 What a creative and majestic God we serve! The contrasting beauty of the lakes and mountains, trees & cactus, filled with some of the most beautiful animals on the planet was such an awesome experience. We saw zebra, baboons, exotic monkeys, endless numbers of pink flamingos, storks, and other waterfowl, water buffalo, wart hogs, rhinos, and more.
 
Can’t wait to look at all the pics. Check back next week for a link to view all the pics from my trip. We spent today packing and one last trip to pray over the future site of the Fountain of Life Church and homes for the boys. Our flight leaves at 11pm here. I may have some more to post next week.
 
We praise God for an awesome trip. Julie and kiddos I’ll see you soon :)

  2. No pictures of the safari? I was thinking I would get to see some cool animals at least.
