You CAN'T go to Africa without doing a safari, of course, so during our brief stay at Sweetwaters Camp near Mt. Kenya, we did a few game drives through the Ol Pejeta Conservancy.

Has it really been just 6 weeks ago that Kim and I were sitting here in a circle of friends on the plains of Kenya for a Mahali pa Maisha Board of Directors meeting?

Sunrise from the Team Building porch on the MpM property in Kenya...a wonderful way to start each day!

Mission trips are not vacations.

After arriving in Kenya, we took Friday to recover from the long trip/jet lag...and to prepare for a BIG day on Saturday.

These little "starfish" are the reason for Mahali pa Maisha, the infant rescue ministry in Kenya.

Has it really been less than a month since we arrived back home from our trip to Kenya?

People often ask me why we go to Africa.  Why we are involved in a mission on the other side of the globe when there are plenty of needs right here in the US.

So much talent, smarts, and diversity of skills in this photo!

The children were awaiting our arrival as our van pulled up outside the Divine Providence Children's Home just a few kilometers from Mahali pa Maisha outside of Kitengela, Kenya.
