Well due to the fact that we were literally in the middle of nowhere with no access to the outside world communication wise for the duration of the trip, I must some it up in a few words:
From cities, to the bush, to churches to tribes. From land to sea, to an island surrounded by tropical turquoise waters. Yet the most amazing and humbling thing I have seen is the sheer excitement and hunger the people have for God's Word. We in the states get exited about sports, we root for our teams, but these people shout exuberant shouts of joy (and I am not exaggerating) to receive God's Word. People walked over 30 miles just to get a Bible! I was moved to tears at the sound of the excitement that people had for the Bible as I was confronted with the reality, that I have grown to take His Word for granted. God stir in me a renewed desire for Your precious Word.
