So, relevant to what I am trying to do with this gig, let me tell you how I got into missions. I was 28, sales manager of a company, drivin' the right car, and livin' the dream. I chased my girlfriend into a church, and before I knew it, found myself believing in something outside of the "dream". That is not to say i wasn't doing my occasional good deed, but it was really just about feeling good about me more than it was to really help someone.
A year later, I went to Peru with this church, thought it would be fun and that it would be good for me. It was. But OOPS, it actually blew me away. I got home, and spent the next 10 months reeling over what I saw. I felt like I should do something about it; not because i felt guilty or that I had to, but b/c i felt that this is where my joy, real joy, was going to be found. So I walked into my boss's office, told him I was AUDI 5000, and a month later I was on a plane to Africa, in total shock.
Went to Ethiopia, Kenya, Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Zambia. During that time, i felt like the decision had been made for me. Truth? I felt like God had made the path real clear through talking it over with him, and Him showing my path clear... just some confirming events over time. So, now I am full timing it with African Leadership. I get to go back and forth, take my friends, and experience things that I would have never... well, imagined were on this Earth - good and bad. Anyway, thanks for coming to check this out. Let me know, please feel free to contact me, if you have any questions.
I'd like to meet:
you, (sheepish giggle)
