Dream Machine! (No - I do not own it)

Brand new and fresh off the boat, this beauty was shipped from England with only 67 km on it!!! A friend of mine who is working with "Friends in Action" had this donated for use here in Burkina Faso. Every person has a different idea of a their "dream car/truck;" but for me, after living here in Africa for over 3 years - this is really is the ultimate ride!

More Frequent Blog Posts....

As I have just recently discovered the joys of using Google Reader, I realized one very interesting thing when it comes to following any blog: frequent posts are a must if you want to keep your readers interested! That said, I will be doing my best to keep this blog updated more often so as to keep you better informed and up to date.
Sincerely,

Recent Rain

The rains are finally here in full strength!!! Just this past Sunday, it poured for quite a few hours leaving standing water everywhere and filling the drainage canals nearly beyond capacity - a very rare occurrence here in Ouagadougou.

Food Distribution

After my trip back to the U.S. for a conference/reunion in Florida, I was able to join up with the youth group here in Burkina and film the food distribution that they (and multiple youth groups in the U.S.) had raised funds for. (seen above) "WIRED" spelled out in millet, Ben and I with 200 pound bags of millet, hands holding millet, and the entrance to the center called 'Pan-Bila'

Lots of Travel

  In just 10 short days, I managed to fly from Burkina Faso and arrive in Dallas, Texas; drive to Pensacola, Florida; attend an incredible 4 day conference; and drive all the way back to Dallas again only to fly out the following day! It all feels like a blur at this point, but I know that God did some pretty awesome things in my heart and I am looking forward to each day as it comes. (pictured above: Tyler, Texas.... I have not actually been there, but I had to get a pic as we drove by )

Memories....

Getting back together with 100's of BRSM students/graduates in Pensacola, Florida. The conference really was incredible.

First stop....well, almost the first stop

So after arriving in the States, I had to make a quick run to the post office and then found a Starbucks! Ah the memories spent at Starbucks!!!!

Short trip back to the U.S.

May 18th-28th short trip back to the U.S. for a conference in Florida. Had an incredible time.

Soccer Match!

The boys that I work with here in Burkina Faso warming up for their very first official soccer game! They played a great game; and even though they lost, it was an incredible opportunity for the entire team!

The kids that I work with...

The month of April held a wonderful opportunity for us to share the Gospel of Christ with many kids - some for the very first time through the Kids of Hope program that Kate Royal heads up here in Ouagadougou.
