four-minute friday: 10 years old

Go.

Now the challenge is to get this typed in and posted before the power goes out again. I think we’ve spent more time without power than with it today.

2008 is a pretty monumental year for us. Thrive Africa turned 10 years old! We’ve been working on a new page for the website that tells more about our journey. It was fun writing the copy for it, although it was challenging to not go on and on about things. (I’ve got a decade worth of stories to tell… It’s hard to fit that onto one page!)

We even dug out some old pictures from our early years and scanned them in (yes, we used film back then!). There’s a whole gallery of these classic photos on the ministry site. (Kitty, enjoy the trip down memory lane!)

You can read our story and see our pictures here.

(Yay! Power’s still on…)

Done.

   Wow – I feel special that you chose to dedicate your limited power on time to keeping your blogger buddies up to date. ;-)

   now – the 3 liters of water yesterday – was there a purpose???

   :-)

   congrats on the 10 years!

   i heard about the lack of power in town, my dad gave me a whole explanation on why it’s happening (power overloads and broken machinery and so on…), and it’s not even winter when there’s much more electricity usage. welcome to farm life… ha ha

   How is it possible that we are old enough to be celebrating these kinds of anniversaries?

   Great post Kitty… and great 10-year page :) I loved seeing all the “younger” pictures… and it blows my mind how far God has taken the ministry in 10 years. WOW!
