What can you do in 3 weeks?

Tell us here, what you see, how to pray.

Show each patient you have the privilege to work with, all the kindness you can, and treat them with the very best skills you can.

In fact, show each and every person you have the privilege to meet, all the kindness and respect you can.

Get out of that cush expat housing as often as you can, and explore a little.

Soak up the sight of Kilimanjaro and commend God for His breathtaking work!

Be thankful for whatever food you are given to eat--especially when it's not what you're used to. I wasn't good at this last time.

3 weeks might not seem like much, but neither does a cup of cold water!

Matthew 10:42
"And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward."
