              You’ve seen the photos in National Geographic and the videos on the Travel Channel. You’ve caught a glimpse of the geographic and ethnic diversity of Kenya. But just as the lives of the Kenyan people are just intermingled with drought and desert as the land itself is. In Kenya, you’ll face AIDS, poverty hunger and those living in “tent cities”- internally displaced persons (IDP) camps. But the needs of the Kenyan people aren’t just physical. Their understanding of Christ is miles wide, but only...

  New Zealand is a land full of natural beauty, talent and culture. You've probably seen the landscape in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, watched a clip of Flight of the Conchords, heard a song by Brooke Fraser or watched the All Blacks rugby team, who perform the traditional war dance of the Maori people before every match.  New Zealand is also a land full of promise and potentional for the kingdom of God. While over half of all Kiwis identify themselves as Christians, many of them have never felt the extent of Christ's love for them. With one of the highest...

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of South Asia? The Taj Mahal? Gandhi? Curry?  Bollywood? Slumdog Millionaire? The Oscar-winning movie shed light on the reality of the injustices that poverty breeds.  Unfortunately, the happy ending of this movie is fiction.   South Asia, in a word, is eclectic – in language, foods, and fashion.

Women step unknowingly into this world, in hopes of a better life and enough money to support their family. Or, they step into this world knowingly but as a last resort, forced to choose between their dignity and their...

  Beautiful beaches line the coast, making it a great honeymoon destination. Pad thai is delicious (made with noodles, sprouts, shrimp/chicken, garnished with peanuts)! Rogers & Hammerstein’s musical The King and I is set here.   Located in Southeast Asia, tropical Thailand is bordered by Burma, Laos and Cambodia. This kingdom is home to 64 million people who primarily speak Thai and where most believe in Theravada Buddhism. Thailand is one of the world’s most popular travel destinations and unfortunately, many of its tourist attractions include...

  What is it that put Uganda on the map in your consciousness? The movie The Last King of Scotland starring Forest Whitaker? How about the nonprofit organization Invisible Children? Partner with the local church engaging in a diverse array of ministries. Reach out to students or help with an HIV/AIDS program. You may minister in hospitals or prisons. You may evangelize, help with water sanitization, play soccer, or work in a farm.  You’ll meet all kinds of needs in all kinds of ways.    However the Lord leads you to minister, what is certain is that God is...
