a SPEEDY donation
Submitted by becca on Wed, 12/23/2009 - 11:50I received an email this week from a young person who said they would be sending a donation to the office and the amount was equal to a speeding ticket. I was quite curious as I continued to read. As I read I discovered that this young person was moving a little too quickly on the streets in their small town. (As in many small towns, families have known families for generations and well, I'll let you read between the lines.)

Miracle Story
Submitted by Mike on Tue, 09/01/2009 - 14:04There are certain blessings that come when you are in a third world country. Life is a little slower. Good conversation under a shaded tree is more valued that a checked “to do” list. People generally walk slower with frequent stops to greet others instead of going from point A to point B in the most time efficient manner. However, there are some challenges that go along with third world countries… Life is a little slower. The “to do” list is not as valued as the shaded tree and the results are told in the unchecked boxes. With little surprise, point B is rarely ever reached.

Have you ever met someone that has changed your life within 15 minutes? We’d like you to meet one of our good friends! His name is Kevis and he went to our camp this summer. As soon as he first entered in through the big iron doors of the entrance, we knew he was something else…someone who would teach us much more that we could ever teach him.
Here are some quick facts about Kevis:
Age: 16
School: Sonrise Christian School
Hometown: Musanze, Rwanda
Goals: He would like to be a doctor one day.

"This Time" I want to make a difference
Submitted by becca on Tue, 05/26/2009 - 13:14Maggi was one of the high school students who traveled to Rwanda this spring with the team from Kanakuk Colorado. She returned home a young lady with a broken heart who did not want to sit back with only memories. More than ever she wanted to do something to make a difference.
I had the privilege of talking to her shortly after her trip. When I heard her say, after past mission trips she wanted to help, but had not, I challenged her to host an event to benefit KAAC~R.
