A Safari for the Heart

The entire Borden Family, the entire Russell Family and the entire Summer Team went away for 8 days together! There were 18 of us on the road through dust and ditches, forests and mountains, volcanoes and rivers, plains and lakes, friendships, studies, prayers, sharing, service, times of great adventure and times of quiet awe.

The combination of learning, giving, working, serving and adventuring combined with the beauty of Creation, turned our hearts toward the Creator in new and deeper ways.

This really was a journey for our hearts!

Thanks for prayers!

Sore Hands and Good Times

Our summer team spent the day at the home and farm of Alfonse and Rose and sons. We worked until our hands were covered in blisters in an effort to bless their farm, bless their lives, and serve in a practical way some of those God has given us friendship with.

Rose cooked up a hot lunch and sharing food together in the shade of their garden was filling in more ways than one.

When we pulled away the sun was pushing low toward evening and we were tired but exhillerated. Mount Meru looked stunning in the golden shades of the late afternoon and we felt the joy of serving, even in our weary muscles.
