“The tall one”—she shares a common name with many women in Moonscape and is known by this nickname. Her story is a common one too.

Abe will see Jesus
From Matt Swahili: If you don’t know—most likely because we’ve never met—my name is Matt (not really!). I’m with the Swahili Coast team, 23, single and just graduated from college.

Filling the desolation of our hearts
The rain was good in Hardrock this year. Parts of the countryside, pale last year, have flushed green. The rugged beauty often stirs aching intercession in our hearts.

Visitor from distant past
An old woman and the orphaned child she was raising were our next door neighbors at one time. We used to provide water for them from our outside tap. Then the owners of the land she was living on wanted to build and the family was forced to move on. We also settled in a […]
Q – Cautious but hopeful
