Living and loving in Africa

In 2007 we made a short trip to Uganda, helping to build a house for Watoto Childcare. We were overwhelmed and forever changed by God's heart for Africa.

We now live surrendered to His call to love Him and those He has sent us to.

Thank you for being part of the journey...
