Orientation




















Hands On had a ten day orientation in Niamey, Niger to allow us to slowly step into West Africa. It was great for us to ease into everything and our orientation supervisors were so helpful.

This is Ali Mozair. My partner TK and I stayed with his family for 3 days to experience African life close up. Please pray for him, his wife, and 3 children. They are Taureg people, and Muslim. He has heard the gospel many times, so ask the Lord to soften his heart and open his eyes to its truth.





















These were some cisterns at Ali Mozair's house, and, given the cracks, they reminded TK of the broken cisterns of Jeremiah 2 (which inspired the Daniel Renstrom song we've all come to love)




















The last night in Niamey, our leaders took us all by surprise to some dunes along side the Niger River. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset and some p&w by a bonfire... very good time!
