About to fly into Maun

The pho­tos that almost weren’t
So do you see those pho­tos I just uploaded? Let’s just say that get­ting them online came at a price. So the story is that because I was so busy edit­ing pho­tos on the com­puter, I lost track of time (strangely enough, that’s the story of my life). We had a […]

After a brief stop in London, we’re off again to South Africa

These past cou­ple of days in Lon­don have been a blast. Yes, we know we’re on a mis­sions trip to Africa (yes, we’re on the wrong con­ti­nent), but whoa, Jesus gave us a good gift in see­ing one of the coolest cities on the planet along the way, too. By the way, did you hear […]

Packing, packing, oh packing…

Why I’m going to Botswana (Part I)

When peo­ple hear that I’m going to Botswana, the ques­tions I hear the most are the following:

Whoa, is it safe there?
What will you be doing?

To which I answer:

Yeah, Botswana’s safe. It’s polit­i­cally and eco­nom­i­cally as sta­ble as South Africa.
I may be doing multimedia/communication work with Love Botswana. I’m not exactly sure what this is, but […]
