Preaching at Midnight in Uganda
A Message from Steve in Uganda: Greetings from tropical and warm Uganda. It is Saturday about noon here and I am getting a bit of time to prepare to preach at the Palm Sunday service here in Kampala. We were in a “reclaim Kampala” service last night at a very basic post, plastic and tin […]
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!

An ITMI Partner Fights Some Baboons: Highlights from Africa Travel
Gerhard le Roux stood at his front fence with his shot gun firing on a group of baboons on a mission to pick off some of Gerhard’s beloved little goats. Yes, baboons. He was unsuccessful the first two rounds, but round three went to… Gerhard! Goats: safe! That’s just a little taste of the odd […]
A Five Week Adventure
How would you like to go on a 5 week adventure with Steve to Poland, Romania, South Africa and Zambia? You would be traveling by plane, train, car, boat, bus. You would get to visit with our dear friends and partners along the way as well as take a 14 hour drive to visit with a group of people that are hearing about Jesus for the first time. You would get to sleep out in tents, cross crocodile infested waters, drive on roads that are shared with trucks and cars and ox-drawn carts, get to love on people, share Jesus, and see what God is doing through dear people like you.
Thanks for Detouring WITH Me
Monday 7am Kabwe, Zambia. Sun through windowI’m sitting here on the floor in my room with the sun shining through the clouds into my window.
