Expedition

Nearly 20 years ago, my wife went abroad. It was a missions trip to the continent of Africa. I stayed home and ran the family business. My wife's EXPEDITION resulted in, not just the mission and purpose of that particular trip, but a lifelong acquaintance with a young lady she met back then. We have been supporting her over the course of these years. This Biblical Truth is very real and shall forever be the case: "It Is More Blessed to Give Than To Receive". Whatever funds we've given over the span of nearly 20 years pale in comparison to the blessings we have received from the simple act of giving. No. My wife's EXPEDITION to Uganda does not compare to the great Missionary David Livingston's many explorations and contributions to Africa. Nevertheless, each time we send funds to a young Christian lady named Grace, we feel the blessing of God.

It was some 23 years ago I had a profound trip to Africa experience - it is a wonderful place and the people are just beautiful and heart-warming. Enjoyed your little poetic excursion :)
