As I approach my final fundraising deadline of $16,252 on December 31st, I will be writing one blog a week for the month of December. Please prayerfully consider contr ibuting any funds or time in spreading the word to help me meet my goal, move on to Mozambique in January, and finish out my World Race. $4,600 to go. I am confident this will be met, but I need some help. With that being said, here’s where I’ve been up to now in photo form…

I am currently short on photos from my time in Africa, but as soon as I am able to rangle some up, I will give and update with pictures from Zambia and Malawi. Take care and God bless!
