A Great Learning Opportunity


Have you ever wanted to be able to learn some Masai? Have you ever wondered how hunters survive in the deep forest? Do you love to eat roast meat around campfires? Our son, Zach, answered "yes" to these questions and is now going on his interim trip into the Mau Forest. He will leave this Thursday and come back to RVA next Thursday. He will not have his cell phone so we will not be able to communicate with him while he is gone. He will just take a back pack and a sleeping bag. They will establish a base camp after hiking through the Mau forest. Each day they will hike through the forest to different villages, being taught the Dorobo skills of hunting, honey harvesting, and finding medicinal plants on the way. The trip will end with a night in Nakuru game park. Please pray for God's protection for these students and sponsers who will be going on this trip. Pray for good health and that they will stay warm at night. Pray that this will be a great learning experience for them all.

**If you read this on Tues. or Wed. please pray for Zach as he has to take 3 exams on Wed. Pray he will just do his best and leave the results up to God.
**After he arrives back to the school next Thursday he will clean up his dorm, pack up, and head home on the 28th of March. We are so excited he is coming home. This has been a tough term for him. Pray we will have great communication and quality time while he is home.
