Bukeye, Burundi. We have land!

We signed yesterday on November 15th for our land in Bukeye a province located in the mountains of up-country Burundi! We will be building orphan homes, a clinic and a trade school to in helping to restore the nation of Burundi one village, one family... one child at a time. We are looking to begin preparing the land for the projects as soon as we return from the US in January. .
Tomorrow, we leave for the US for 7 weeks to introduce our son Malaki Daniel to family and friends. We will also be visiting churches and partners to raise awareness of the projects we intend to do in Burundi. We look forward to seeing many of you, and have so much anticipation in our hearts to share with you all the progress that has been taking place. God is good!

He recently went to 2 days of schooling to learn a more productive way of doing agriculture called "God's Way of Farming", put together through an organization from South Africa. The crops are coming in and harvest time is just around the corner! Well, were off... flying through Rwanda, Ethiopia, Rome, Washington DC then to Orlando! Until next time...
