Preparing for Adventure

Tomorrow morning, I am leaving with 4 other guys to climb Mt. Kenya, and I would love all of your prayers for the next few days! We will be starting up the mountain on Wednesday morning, summiting on Friday, and finishing our hike on Sunday. Mt. Kenya is the second-highest mountain in Africa (behind Kilimanjaro) and is the only place in Kenya with glaciers - sounds awesome to me!

I'm so excited about this trip - not only is it an awesome adventure, but I think it's going to be a great time to spend with some unbelievable guys. The group is made up of Joe (a Furman alumni from Ohio), Adrian (a Zimbabwean who works for a Christian tourism company in Limuru), Phil (a professional hunter from Zimbabwe), Clayton (an American who has grown up in Kenya and will be our guide), and me. I have loved getting to know all of these guys over the past few months, and I know God is going to bless us with great fellowship and some sweet stories!

Please pray for safety, relaxation, great weather, unexpected excitement, and growth in friendships this week - thank you so much! Can't wait to share what happens...
