Africa

We are excited to tell you that our Daddy is home from his 13 day trip to Africa. It was quite an amazing experience for him. He went with 3 Other men from Elk River to participate in the Global Day Of Prayer. This first Picture is of him in front of the Peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa. He was not able to make it to the top due to a case of Pulmonary Edema, A complication from the high altitude.... Must have been all those years spent at Sea Level. But what a blessing to hike and pray with others and seek God together.

It was pretty cold near the top.... an experience that the Minnesota Winter definitely helped prepare him for.
What a beautiful part of the World God created.


Here he is... Finally back down to level ground...


Then it was off to see some of Africa's wildlife at Lion's Park in Johannesburg, South Africa. Here he is feeding a Giraffe while offering the kiss of Aloha.


Look at the size of this Lion cubs paws... truly the King of the Beast.
We were so excited to have him home and to hear all the stories and see the pictures of his adventure. Thank you to all of you who supported him in prayer during this trip.
