Afirca

I love Africa and the many different people who inhabit the continent. I would like to go and share the Gospel with them. I am not really sure where in Africa and to which people group, but God will show me. I started falling in love with Africa right after I read the book “Dispatches from the edge” by Anderson Cooper. He is a reporter on CNN, and his show is Anderson Cooper 360. His book had all his adventures compiled in it and at the age of just 17 or was it 18. I am not real sure, I have not read it in some time, but any ways he talked about his time in Africa. They way he wrote made me feel as if I was standing right next to him along the journey. Since that summer of 2006 I’ve loved Africa and I’ve wanted to go.
The rich traditions and the heritage that is rooted within the continent of Africa is inspiring. Maybe I am just some dorky guy who loves different culture’s. I want to sit down and talk with the elderly people both at home and overseas. I want to learn from them about their life and the things that happened during it. There would be nothing better than to sit around a camp fire with a chief of a tribe in Africa and talk about his people. Where they came from and how they became who they are today. I would love to be taught how to hunt and build a hut. I watched a movie (Faith like Potatoes) the other day and they built a mud hut and I would love to learn how to do that. So I love Africa and I want to go.
