It’s true what they say: “God doesn’t bring you half-way around the world to bring you back the same.”

In the past eight days, in Africa, we’ve laughed harder, prayed longer, shared more vulnerably, and gone deeper than we ever could’ve imagined. To see God at work through new friends and new relationships has been nothing less than remarkable. We’ve been able to see how God is beginning to move in massive reconciliation projects in Congo. We’ve seen a professional clown who turned his attention toward impoverished victims of cancer. We’ve heard from the head of Google-Africa and saw a vision for a rapidly industrialized Africa. To tell the stories and to show the pictures still couldn’t capture all of what we were able to experience God do here in Nairobi, Kenya.

I’m leaving for the airport as I write this – grateful for the experience here in Africa, and looking forward to a lengthy sleep on the plane where visions of IN-N-OUT hamburgers occupy my dreams.
