| Familiar Red Soil |
 Sitting on a bus in Kenya my nostrals were filled with that very familiar B.O. that can only be found on this continent, Nigel says it is a warm inviting smell, but I am not so sure I agree with him on that one. Warm, and Inviting is how I would describe being back in Rwanda. Someone told us the other day that the first time you meet someone in Africa you are their guest and the second time you are their friend and the 3rd time you are their Brother. So it is such a great feeling coming to a place where I am a friend. It feels incredible to be walking on this familiar red soil that has the power to change lives. Kenya was beautiful and after only a day we got on a bus to Uganda and then here to the peace of Rwanda. (32 hours on a bus later)We got to Gahini Rwanda on Saturday night and were woken early Sunday morning being told that we were doing Sunday School. I have been waiting for a year for this!! The kids were in a huge circle and we jumped into the middle of it and sang songs and laughed. Kenton did the story of Noah getting all the kids to act  as animals and again everyone laughed so deeply. It all just seemed to fall into place so fast. From the moment we have arrived we have felt almost as if we are visiting old relatives and as if the work here is second nature. Things seem to be falling into place around us and we daily see the ripples of a hand larger than ours shifting the waters. Thanks for your prayers we need them desparately for if we do things on our own we are destined to fail. Blessings, Dan

I love you guys, continue to seek God, our heavenly Father, and trust Him with all you have! I strongly feel and know in my heart that this is only the beginning! God has so much more in store that He wants to do, and I am excited for when we all have a chance to see it unravel! God's grace is a gift. I pray that God will speak to each of your hearts, and unify you in strength. Be blessed brothers, you are all amazing and we serve a great God! :) have a good day!

Hey guys! You are never far from our thoughts and always in our prayers! I wish I could be there with you cuz part of my heart will always be in Africa too!
I had a great visit with Kalena the other night and she can't wait to be out there to start working with you guys. We miss you like crazy, but continue doing the work that God has set out for you to do and He will bless you so much for choosing to do His work so willingly.
Love Cindy, Brent, Mesele and Abinet

For all those unaware. this is a sight devoted to a dream. This dream began over a Year ago when we felt impressed that the Lord would have us travel around the world in a year to experience His people in the many diverse cultures of the world. It the mission of our next year to go wherever we feel the Lord leading us and to be obedient in all things. We want to love and embrace the cultures of the world in whateve ways that we can. We serve a big God and trust that He will always lead us.We recently finished Bible college at the best school in the Northern Hemisphere. FGBC and it is our honor to hold that name as we travel the world. We currently don't enjoy studying but prefer bus rides and palm trees.

| Our Mission |
The World we live in is a mysterious place that people have voyaged for hundreds of years. On November 7 we will begin our voyage. Our dream is to travel around the world in a year. However we don’t was to simply see the world we want to experience it in the way our Father experiences it. We believe that through stepping out in faith this next year will be filled with the miraculous. We hope to experience God in creation, provision, different cultures and the beauty of His people. Life is a precious gift, from the moment God breathed into humanity starting with Adam and Eve, human life has been unique. We desire to see the world around us in living color. To experience it like no other creature. This voyage around the world is a step towards taking full advantage of our unique perspective. Augustine once wrote, “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only but a chapter.” We pray that the Lord would open our eyes to read the hundreds of chapters that He has written for our short life. We know that God has called all of us to His purposes. For this next year we believe this is God’s purpose and call on our life and we will follow. At times with hesitancy and others with overwhelming excitement but may the Lord always find us faithful. We pray that our step of faith would inspire yours and as we take this step of faith on our journey we ask for your prayers that God would increase our boldness and enlarge our faith to walk in the calling He has on our lives. We are humbled as you join with us in our journey of faith, thank you.
