Keeping You Updated On My Travels And Experiances On The Continent Of Africa. Monday, July 12, 2010. A Reflection From Greener Pastures. Time in Africa has an interesting way of sneaking away from you,. The pace is slow but there never seems to be enough hours in the day,. Having been in Uganda a week now, it's as if I never left,. With the exception of the jubilant welcome I received from the children and fast friends, life in Uganda has carried on much as I left it,. Safety is not an issue. 500 UGS is ...

Brents African Adventures: And Away We Go!
http://brentgoestoafrica.blogspot.com/2011/06/and-away-we-go.html
Keeping You Updated On My Travels And Experiances On The Continent Of Africa. Wednesday, June 1, 2011. And Away We Go! After blowing the dust of my travel gear, I find myself sitting in YVR International Departures once again, with the rolling green hills of Uganda just 2 short (relatively speaking of course) flights away. I can never fully express how I feel going back, but it seems I always try. This time it feels a bit like heading home again. So it's with this final boarding call that I leave you.

Brents African Adventures: Home Away From Home
http://brentgoestoafrica.blogspot.com/2010/07/home-away-from-home.html
Keeping You Updated On My Travels And Experiances On The Continent Of Africa. Monday, July 5, 2010. Home Away From Home. One step off the plane and already it feels like home,. The familiar smell lingering in the humid air,. The accents of the man at customs,. I missed this,. It’s 4am now and we need a place to stay for a few hours before we’re whisked off to the 10 acres and 52 smiling children,. A cheap room for a couple hours, easy,. It’s good to see the Dickie’s again,. I’m home,. Sites Worth A Peek.

Brents African Adventures: November 2008
http://brentgoestoafrica.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Keeping You Updated On My Travels And Experiances On The Continent Of Africa. Sunday, November 16, 2008. While the timing is wrong, the conviction remains. I had to write this. Thrust into a life a fear,. A time when turmoil and pain are the only constants,. Where convictions are forgotten and freedom fades. The shouts of propganda and the threat to those who do not conform,. The sound of a gunshot ringing out,. It's the story of millions,. The story of injustice and corruption,. Lives of complacency,.

http://brentgoestoafrica.blogspot.com/2011/06/warm-and-familiar-welcome.html
Keeping You Updated On My Travels And Experiances On The Continent Of Africa. Thursday, June 23, 2011. A Warm And Familiar Welcome. The smells of Uganda,. They never seem to change, even from my first trip (5 years ago) to now, it's etched in my memory and it always greets me right off the plane. Long before the smiles of the children, or the embrace of a friend and pastor, the smell is there, and it's wonderful. The drive from Entebbe is one that is relatively timeless as well,. They're excited to show ...

Keeping You Updated On My Travels And Experiances On The Continent Of Africa. Monday, February 18, 2008. To Laugh In The Face Of Death. Life in Egypt is nothing short of an adventure,. Cairo is a city that breathes,. It's always in motion, always busy and always full of noise,. You can't escape the madness that is this Middle Eastern city. Therefore, there is always something to new, exciting or terrifying about this place,. And of those stories, my favorites seem to be those that involve taxis,. But giv...

Stories of families, while still heart breaking, no longer shock you,. As ‘Mzungus’, we represent hope,. There are those whose hope is fading, we represent a glimmer,.

Keeping You Updated On My Travels And Experiances On The Continent Of Africa. Thursday, April 10, 2008. What does it really mean to be healthy? As we stand at the brink of ministry, questions like these plague us, and it leaves us wondering, who is it that we should be helping and how? There is a village high upon the mountain top,. It is a village deep with tradition,. Men spend their days hunting deer and swine in the dense forests,. Perched atop the steep cliffs,. Until one day,. The donkey cart was j...
