Got here via Ragamuffin Soul and am intrigued to find another Austinite who’s headed to Africa. But Africa’s not a country – where are you going? Safe travels!

Yes, definitely. I’d love to hear more about what you’ll be up to there. SA is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. Have a great trip!

p.s. Can I steal this for my students? We’re doing a student trip back to Malawi in June and this would be some great set up.

See you soon – can’t wait until you get here! All you blog readers keep praying for Chris and the other three Texans coming with him – our South African friends are definitely expecting some giant cowboy hats and shiny boots. I’m afraid Chris is going to be a big disappointment.

Thanks man, Ill be praying for your trip. Look forward to hearing what God does.

Wow! That’s amazing. I can attest to that living in Uganda for a summer in college. You can get by with a whole lot less. Because life is not about stuff for them. They don’t waste like we do. They make good use of the God-given resources they have. And I’m still learning and relearning this principle!
