| Speechless |
| I am speechless daily over the kids that surround us. Yesterday I stood under the shade of a tree and preached about love to a crowd of Blue as they sat on the grass and listened. At one point I wanted to hide behind my translator Georges just to hid the fighting tears as I talked about my love for money. Most of these kids have no understanding about the god of money for they have probably never owned any of their own. I asked them to pray for me and to pray for my country for I dont think I will ever understand simple faith the way that people here in Rwanda understand it. I find myself daily learning from these kids as I see pure joy on their faces. I hope and pray that God will break my heart for these people and for the people that God has put in my life at home. God's love for us is more pure than anything we will ever understand and all He asks of us is to love Him back. I guess in these past weeks that is the message that I have been preaching. These kids have been incredible, as I was speaking about love to them and how much God wants us to love Him and to love each other they began to put their arms around each other. Again I needed to fight back the tears. My best memory of this camp was watching the biggest smiles you could imagine as kids went shooting down the slip n' slide that we set up leading into the lake. Everyday I embrace smiles of children experiencing true joy. I learn so much from these kids and am daily challenged in my life. I know that God has good things in store for this camp and for the people of Rwanda. A couple of days after we arrived our main camp leader and translator Betty told me that weeks previous to our arrival she had been praying for a camp In Gahini and even called all the people she knew trying to organize one. only days before we arrived had she given up on the idea of having a camp for the youth here in Gahini. God knows our hearts, He knows His children and the more we seek Him the more He will put us where He wants us to be whether thats in a job or traveling or school or even living in a foreign land. When we let God's love overtake our lives and lead our steps we are left speechless. -Daniel |

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.
