B.O.A.T.S. – 3
He told me his name was Aaron. So when I called my friend to tell her that some strange young man was at my gate asking for her by name, she didn’t recognize him`. “That’s not what we call him,” she told me later. “We call him by his African name. I just didn’t follow [...]
B.O.A.T.S – 2
I can’t believe I haven’t told you this story. It represents the reason we are all here and with it a message of His perfect timing and working all things together for good . All I can tell you is that I heard this story first hand. I have re-written it to protect those involved, [...]
The TRUTH you don’t want to see
Many of you may not be able to handle this – but I beg you…read it anyway. And forgive me for praying that God uses it to rock your world right to the core. This woman, Kimberly Smith, is one of our customers. One of our AIM Air pilots took her out of this horrific [...]
Hoover-ville
“I laugh in the face of flip-flops! muu haa haa haaaaa” I’ve always wanted to be a photographer. I just think pictures always say more than the most elaborate vocabulary.

Photo Op!
We wanted to give you a glimpse of our new life! You’ve heard pictures are worth a thousand words….unfortunately, a thousand pictures couldn’t capture what we see on a daily basis! But these will just have to do!
Shoes
Shoes. That’s rich…my inaugural trip into one of the largest slums in the world and all I could do was stress about my shoes. I didn’t want to take my boys in there. It’s tight and dirty and people are constantly pinching or pulling some part of their bodies. I had wanted to go in [...]
Nothin but a Smile
Blegur foe oiwe goiwe bjlelkaoub…. No, that is not Swahili – it’s my thoughts. After weeks of packing, three days on the road, and a tsunami of emotional goodbye’s, I just cannot seem to carry one thought from start to finish. My body is tired, my brain is tired, my heart is exhausted. Like the [...]
