Our second team of the summer is off and away on their safari of service and adventure!
This particular team has been brought together by Jesse and Trevor and they are leading the crew of college friends. While this is their initiative, we can't help but be pretty involved. There's too much work in the preparation and too much fun in the journey for just 2 Borden Boys :-) And having older, (read "More years in Africa,") folks around is never a bad thing.
What a blessing it is for us to host people as they experience Tanzania. How awesome that we get to be a part of their service and growth. We love to see hearts and minds opened by God as friends engage new cultures, new landscapes, new issues, new joys and new relationships. Culture, the environment, hunger, justice, service, poverty, wealth, wildlife, responsibility, faith, values and fears are all things that a trip like this brings up in the hearts of the participants. Conversations around the campfire are good.
Challenges are always a part of it as well. This photo was taken on Saturday before the early Monday departure...
But they pulled out on time this morning, big grins on all their faces.
May this be a beautiful time for each one. May they be a blessing where they serve and may there be lasting benefit in each of their lives as well.
