My experience has been that an extended period away from home has been used by the Lord to do great things in the lives of His people. Service is often God’s way to not only help those who are in need but also to transform those who serve. After all, we are saved by God’s grace, through faith in Christ, to do good works.

We regularly take our team to very poor areas and towns in Namibia and their hearts and perspective are changed for life.
