We sat on the ground, sang songs in several languages, and witnessed something incredibly rare among the Wolof people.

Remembering His faithfulness
One of my favorite heroes growing up was Indiana Jones. With a cool hat, a calm demeanor, and a cockeyed grin, he always showed faith that things would work out in the end. I loved the part in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade when he took the leap of faith, stepping into what he believed was an abyss only to discover that a way across had been there all along.
It’s a good reminder to Tracy and me as we follow God’s call to serve Him and those around us, now and when we get to Cape Town. It’s important to have faith in His providence for what lies ahead and to strengthen that faith by remembering times He has provided for our needs in the past.

It’s a great, big, small world
Except for college, I have lived my entire life within a 2¼-mile radius.
