The joy, frustration, excitement, exhaustion, thrills, scenery and divine appointments all contribute to an unforgettable experience.    Here follows a brief overview of our Africa traveling experiences thus far.

Traveling through Africa was quit an experience.  Traveling through China was in some ways similar and in others very distinct.

Even though this phrase has been said so many times, it can never be said too much.  This is indeed what I’ve been experiencing up to now and every day I come to realize it more and more.

Since the day we first set foot on Hong Kong airport, God has been taking us through distinct experiences.  During the past four weeks we've been taken form Western culture to Eastern, from country side to city life, from snow to sun shine, from poor rural areas to luxury.  The contrast is difficult to explain.  Just within mainland China it's been tremendous.  Since we've crossed the border, the Orange team has stayed in five different towns.  In the first town I gradually began encountering culture shock.
