As some sort of punishment for past misdoings, I was forced to take a group of teens to the Amazon in northern Brazil for 6 weeks during the summer of 2006. 14 of us set out to the jungle, but only 13 returned.
Coming Soon!
(but I don't what yet)
These pictures are from my most recent adventures, and will change from time to time, then cycle into the other galleries.
Okay, as you probably know already, I live with a camera in my hands. I mostly enjoy landscape photography, but I have been known to take a few other types of photos as well. These are just some of my favorites from the years gone by.
Here are a bunch of different pictures of people that are important to me, taken at different times and places. Some are fun, others are serious. See if you can find yourself somewhere in this collection.
I spent 7 months in Moscow, Russia attending YWAM's Discipleship Training School. These are several pictures from Moscow, the Russian countryside and a 5 weeks trip to Mongolia.
This was my very first mission trip, as well as my first trip outside the US. Three years later, I was back drilling waters wells in the arid northeast corner in a small village called Vargbo.
This was my second time venturing outside our borders. (Okay, Mexico doesn't really count, now does it!) A group from Rocky Peak went to work with the Chorti Indians in the hills northeast of Guatemala City. It was awesome!
On Tuesday afternoon, I got the call telling me that I would be leaving for Lima, Peru in 2 days. Fortunately, I had just finished my laundry. Our team spent a week witnessing to some of the poorest people in Peru.
Over the past 5 years, I have been on many weekend trips to Ensenada, Mexico with a team from the Church at Rocky Peak. This is also how I was introduced to Youth With A Mission, as well as many friends from around the globe.
These are from the 2 trips that I made to Moscow to visit our sister church in Tushino. We built a modern stage at the church, then two years later used it to host a Christian rock concert.
When I was a bit younger, my friend and I used to talk about visiting Lake Victoria. Several years later, I was on a small boat crossing the lake, headed for Bethany Village. Amazingly, I was able to send an email from the jungles.
