I have discovered I really enjoy sitting under trees. Go ahead, you can laugh. But, to be in the shade of an Acacia (that’s the typical African tree you think of when you think of Africa, or watch the Lion King), just to cool off from the day’s heat is so awesome. My team and I often find ourselves meeting under trees, rather than in a building and I love it. And as I sit, I think, “I’m pretty sure this is what God intended trees to be used for, to sit under and be protected.”
Our first day meeting with our contact, Pastor Elisha and his wife, Emmy in Kisumu, Kenya was done under a tree. We were each given a cold coca-cola and we talked about what God had laid on our hearts for this month. “You are not here to work, you are here to share God’s love,” Pastor Elisha told us.
Love & Blessings!
