First Post!

As a brand-new blogger, I would like to say Thanks for reading! I don't follow too many blogs from others, but if you decide to bookmark this page I would be honored. :)

Sunrise from 2006 trip

It has been suggested to me to write short posts, post only what's important and add lots of pictures. If this suits your preference I think we'll be good friends. :) So here's what I will start with...



I was born and raised in Zion, IL and have lived nearby my entire life. My home church is Christ Community Church (also in Zion) where I have been a member since 2000. God has been good to me, much more than I deserve and I hope to live my life as a testimony of His great love.

In 27 days I will be moving to South Africa to work with the Zion Evangelical Ministries of Africa (ZEMA), which is a Christian Mission Agency based out of Zion, IL. (see www.zema.org for more information)

I hope you are blessed, challenged and encouraged by things you will read here. My only intention is to bring glory to God through all He has done and is doing around the world, especially amongst the amaZioni in Southern Africa. 

More to come soon...
