In 2003 I attended a conference in Los Angeles where there were people of many nations. It was there I came to believe I'd spend my life travelling the world, doing what I could to help along the way.

in 2005, the first opportunity arose - Zambia - I learned the ropes of international travel, Orphanages, and more. We spent time building and upgrading parts of the orphanage as well as time with the kids. http://www.goodwillzambia.com and Zambia Photos tell the story.

Spring 2006 offered up a new opportunity to head to Zambia once again - and among the things that came my way - seeing an orphan my previous team believed had died, spending more time at the orphanage, speaking at a campus meeting at the University of Zambia, training a local leader, bringing administrative support to a new church, and going on foot into the shanty towns where AIDS isn't the only affliction. Zambia 2006 is featured here.

Summe 2006 took me to a new place, Kenya. Serving as Team Leader to David Webb, I was able to experience Africa on a whole new level. We had 10 days of day-in-day-out time with the kids, going on trips, spending quality time with the older kids, and really bringing a sense of hope. http://www.kenya2006.com and the Kenya Adventure were born.
