Kids Can Tour the World

I recently discovered a great website called SIM Kids that allows kids to take an internet tour of the world.  It features countries in Asia, Africa and South America and offers fact sheets, biographies, games, puzzles, crafts, stories and recipes from the various countries.  The website also shares information about how kids can be missionaries and how they can pray for missionaries around the world.  Of course, we are most interested in the information about Kenya, but I really could have done without reading the story of the boy whose dad nearly stepped on a spitting cobra when he went to the bathroom one night!

Welcome

Welcome to our blog.  We created this blog in hopes that our friends and families will follow us as we journey to Kijabe, Kenya at the end of 2010.  We have been accepted into World Medical Missions' Post-Residency Program and Erik will be serving as a pediatric surgeon at Kijabe Hospital.  We are so excited about what God has in store for us and hope that you will pray for us as we prepare.
