After six of the last eight plus weeks being either in southern Africa or in Eastern Europe, my body’s internal clock has pretty much gone haywire. For the whole week that I have been home my body has insisted on transitioning from deep sleep to wide awake at anywhere from 2:15 am to 3:35 am. Driving to the ITMI office at our normal starting time mentally feels like I’m arriving in the mid-afternoon, due to my work day starting 5-6 hours before.
From Tear-stained to Blessed
If you remember, I shared about a little girl that had come to the clothes distribution we staged after the first two water wells dedication. She came with anticipation that she would get some type of clothes that would cover her little body. She saw this long, long line of used clothes laying on the […]

Beautiful Feet
“Good news!” was all the young boy could manage between breaths. The women, most balancing heavy jugs of water on their heads while carrying one in each hand, kept walking toward their village just a few steps ahead. They moved only their eyes toward the boy, who again heralded breathlessly, “Good news!”

Steve’s Photo Tour of Zulu Land, South Africa
The dirt road leading to 7 Rivers Farm, which is Kelly and Cherise Smith’s property, is long and dusty. You can begin to see the dryness of winter in the area, which we’ll see more of later. This road crosses the wayward and windy river 7 times before we’ll arrive at the farm. Zulu land is about a 20 minute drive from the outskirts of the beautiful ocean resort city of Durban, South Africa. As you’ll see, the difference 20 minutes makes is night and day!
A Laughing Village and a Sad Little Girl
August 15, 2012 Steve was able to get this bit of news out from remote Lukulu, Zambia – a little foretaste of what is to come when he gets back to civilization and gets his stories out! Stay tuned! “This was our home for the drilling and finishing of the 2nd well. Never had […]
