Christmas Celebrations
Christmas in Kenya has a lot of traditions that we really enjoy. Besides running around in shorts and t-shirts we do several activities that we find meaningful during this season. This year we carried on the tradition of having lunch with the men who work in the laundry here at the school. We roast a goatContinue reading “Christmas Celebrations”
AIM Conference 2011
At the end of first term each year AIM holds their yearly conference here at RVA. It is such a privilege to host this event since we get to meet friends we have made before and make new friends of those who are new to the mission field. This year Dr. John Talley from New Hampshire came toContinue reading “AIM Conference 2011”
One World Run
It started out being a fun little run that we were going to hold on a Sunday afternoon. We did not expect it to turn into a major event with about one hundred staff and students participating. With torrential rains threatening the weather held off long enough for us to complete the run which wasContinue reading “One World Run”
What is the Essential Question?
I have to admit that I have been thinking about this question for the last few years. In fact, I have a sign on my office wall with this question on it. I guess it is particularly because of being a P.E. teacher I get a lot of flak for being able to play gamesContinue reading “What is the Essential Question?”

There are many things that are the same and many that are different. There is certainly a sense that over the past year Kenyans have desired notContinue reading “Life in Kenya, plus ten thoughts”
Volleyballs, crazy bees, and New Hope
Todd, Cassidy, and Titus were just involved in our school outreach day the weekend of Sept. 10 and we sure did have a lot of different experiences. Todd took a group of students to a local IDP (internally displaced people) camp that has been in place since the 2007 election violence that ended with thousands of people fleeingContinue reading “Volleyballs, crazy bees, and New Hope”
God is Good, plus ten thoughts
God is good, all the time. Reflecting on the past few months we realize that God knew exactly what we needed in order to be refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to go back to RVA. What a huge task it is and we could not do it by ourselves. Here are some thoughts as we finishContinue reading “God is Good, plus ten thoughts”
Welcome Rick!

After traveling from Stettler we arrived to meet her fiance Rick at their home for a few hours before the wedding and had a chance to see their new house andContinue reading “Welcome Rick!”
