Kenyan Safari on Good Friday

This is the most unusual Good Friday of my life.  I went on an African safari, driving through Nairobi Game Reserve for seven hours.  Fences are only on the Nairobi city side of the reserve.  The other side allows the migration of the game.  Here is some of what we saw.  The SIM Kenya director, Dwight Hazard, set this up and drove.   Scott Carter, one of our missionaries came along as well.

Here are some of the photos I took of game that we saw.

We stopped on top of a ridge and had a Good Friday prayer service. 

Looking out on the vast Kenyan savanna we praised and thanked God for sending his son to die for our sins.   We lifted up the name of Jesus in prayer and song for his incredible act of love for us.

What a special Good Friday.
