Well, this is us! This is the Russell and the Borden families. But this was a really long time ago :-)
I think this photo was taken in 1991. There are eight kids between our two families now and these three boys are in high school and college today.
I guess dreams take years to shape. Our two families have been loving Africa for a very long time. We have spent many years serving on that beautiful continent. And during those years God was preparing our hearts for the Africa of today.
Africa today is looking at 40 million AIDS orphans by the year 2010. 40 million!
Wild Hope is in Africa to respond to this and to other serious issues of poverty, poor education, lack of resource, and spiritual hunger.
Do we think we are the answer to Africa's troubles?
We're not that presumptuous!
But we know that God is crazy in love with the people of Africa. Their issues are on His mind. So we proudly take our place among the hundreds of organizations, the thousands of individuals who want to give their lives to make a difference.
That's what we're up to.
It's a Wild Hope.
But He's a Wild God.
