Africa 2007 by Cameron Ross

 I would first like to thank everyone that supported me, both financially and with your prayers, it was an amazing trip and I could not have done it without you all. Africa is a very different place than any I have ever been. The people and the culture are so unique even from town to town and country to country. Even the landscape changes rapidly as you travel.

 
  I first traveled with my father in law to Nairobi. Kris spoke at a pastors conference of about 250 people, some of which had traveled as long as 4 days to hear him speak. The pastors there are desperate for a move of God and were eager for any knowledge on teaching or operating in the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
  Also while in Kenya we were able to visit an orphanage that was founded and is supported by a businessman from Redding. “Heroes of the Nations” is an amazing orphanage. With close to 300 kids, they believe they are not just taking care of orphans but are raising up the next heroes to govern the country with kingdom values and kingdom Ideas.
  After spending four days with the pastors and a few days with the orphanage, we had a day to rest and see a little more of Kenya. We traveled to a place called Mt. Kenya Safari Club where we  spent the night and the next day, before heading to Rwanda.
 Even though Rwanda is only a few 100 miles away from Kenya they are much different. Twelve years ago the people of Rwanda endured a bloody genocide that ravaged their people and in a matter of 60 days over 1,000,000, men, women, and children where killed. This left their small country in total mourning. The people of Rwanda struggle to find hope. There faces tell stories of things I cannot imagine, things I have only heard of. We ministered at another pastor’s conference in a town on the border of Rwanda and the Congo. They where very happy to see us. Iin a way we were ambassadors of hope. Not just with the message of Jesus Christ, after all they were pastors, but that someone out side their world new that they were here and cared enough to come.

  I have been changed forever from my trip to Africa and I am excited to return someday. Thank you again for the part you played in ministering to the people in Africa.
