Keeping It Real
Camp Gahini was all in all an incredible experience. For a dream like this to come together so quickly and so well, is truly amazing. God was working powerfully through this camp. This camp is unique in the effect it has on people, despite challenges and barriers, such as language, kids were affected and changed in awesome ways. It is humbling to see the ways God can use us despite our inabilities. I never knew what to expect from this experience, I never knew what Africa was like or even how this camp would affect kids better than any other method we could use to help the African people. So I stepped into this adventure trusting that God would take this camp and use it, and he did. My perception of Africa before I came was the pictures most people in North America know, a world vision commercial is all they every see, so they assume that is what Africa is. But this adventure opened my eyes. I realized that it is awesome to give money or support in any way you can; however African kids need more than money. They need opportunity. And that’s what this camp gives. It gives kids opportunity to just have fun, to learn and to feel loved. For us to show kids love and tell them we do what we do because God loves them is a profound concept for them. That is why to me it is important for us to be here. Money is great, but love is a necessity. That’s what we are here to give. It was extremely fun to watch as the kids had fun and learned that they can worship God in whatever they do. I feel that I have learned so much from the kids and from the whole culture in my short time here. I am excited to see where the camp will go in the future. All of us involved have ideas and dreams of what is possible, but none of our dreams can match up to God’s plans. That is why I believe this camp will be powerful for years to come. Caleb Davis

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.

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. – Kenton, Jordan & Daniel
