Just don't look down!!!

Mental note - when in Ghana, visit Kakum National Park, and take the awesome swinging bridge tour!!! This was quite an experience.... oh...... and if you're thinking, "My, that looks a little rickedy and narrow.....?" Well, it WAS!!! That's what made it such great fun! At the highest point, we were about 90 feet above the ground............

Beautiful Atlantic Coast........in Africa!!!

This was just one of the amazingly beautiful views
that I was able to see while down in Ghana this last
month. The ocean never seems so beautiful, until you live in dust and desert without rain for months on end! God bless the Ocean!!!!

Many Travels

The last couple of weeks, I've had the awesome opportunity to travel all around Ghana! With the original intent of helping another missionary make it down to Accra (a fairly large coastal city of around 3 mill.) I ended up staying for two weeks. What was supposed to be just a 1 day trip ended up taking 4 days..........!!! Needless to say - God was faithful and kept us safe the whole time. I was able to see the coast and was absolutely astounded as to the amount of development just one country away from where I now live!
Over all, the trip was amazingly beautiful and refreshing. I loved the country....the fact that they all speak English, and the beautiful surroundings; but if I ever go back.......I think I will chose to fly!

Not all villages are easy to reach by vehicle!!! Actually - the village that was built on this rock 1000's of years ago is nothing but rubble now! It was an incredible vantage point though to see all the surrounding small villages in the area!

Upon a recent overnight trip to the
southern part of Burkina Faso, we were
ablet o see dozens of these incredible
creatures!! At one point we got just a
little too close to a rather protective
pack. Click Here for more pics from our trip!

More Christmas Cheer!

There were more excited kids this Christmas than you could ever imagine!!! Over all, we were able to give gifts to over 1,800 + kids and had a chance to share the Gospel with all!!! For more exiting pics of these great kids you can click on the link below. Once you get to the page, just select the pull down tab that says "Give a Kid a Christmas 2005"

Christmas Cheer!

Just this week, we were able to venture out into
a small village and completely surprise around 150
boys and girls with an early Christmas blessing!
As a result, five kids accepted Christ into their lives and were able
to grasp the true meaning of Christmas for the very first time!!!

Dare me too????

Okay - so when I saw this opportunity - you
KNOW that I just couldn't resist!!! YES - I am
actually petting this 12 foot long crocidile! Good
Times!

LUNCH TIME!!!

Nothing like feeding a fresh and LIVE chicken
to liven these crocs up a bit. This one only lasted
about 5 seconds or so!!!

A Little Local Fun

This last weekend we were able to go out and
mingle with some of the local wildlife! This grumpy
croc was a good 12+ feet long; and if you look closely,
you can see his little brother who was trying to sneek
up on me while I hanging out!!!!!
