Each year the entire KICS staff goes on a retreat to a small village, Kibuye, on the edge of Lake Kivu. I'm months late in posting these pics, but I wanted to share the beauty of this country and its people with you! On the way to Kibuye, we stopped at a waterfall to have recreation and worship time with the villagers there who are used to seeing us now!
Sorry the pics are kind of out of order!
Enjoying the falls! :)
One of my students, Miles, covered in mud. ;)
Kari and I on top of Bat Island, named for all the bats that fly overhead!
This was the neatest part of our time there. Our fearless and adventure-driven headmaster, Trevor, rigged up a makeshift zipline out of the rocks and rope he brought from home, and guided the kids across the ravine! They loved it and I loved watching their faces at this new experience!
Ty caught the kids before they hit the rock! We drapped a blanket across the rocks just in case!
Another beautiful African sunset!
Watching the zipline, thinking..."Do I really want to do this?"
Trevor's makeshift zipline!
Devotion and Ministry time with the community
Harnessing them up!
I loved seeing all their reactions at this new contraption! Pure joy! (and a little bit of fear!)
Singing "Awesome God" in their local language.
This is our annual Bat Island swim. The mountains you see in the background are in Congo!
Driving home. I always see the strangest things on the back of bikes. I've seen 20 mattresses before, a cow, chickens, a goat, 5 kids and a mom, but today it was a whole chest of drawers! Better steer clear!
