The Dream From Africa--A read that makes a difference

The purpose of The Dream From Africa   is three-fold. 

First, I wanted to give people who have never been to Africa the opportunity to see it for themselves through the story of Doto.  I tried as much as possible to use details and actual incidents from my experience that would make it feel legitimate to the Central/Eastern Africa context. 

Second, I wanted to communicate spiritual truth in an allegorical form.  The characters and events depicted in this book at a bare minimum should cause the reader to pause and reflect.  I really tried to zero in on the idea that every human being has a God given destiny as they discover their true identity in Christ.  Obviously, this all takes place through the worldview and perspective of a young man who is slowly discovering both: identity and destiny.   As such, the reader is forced to extrapolate the ideas to his or her own life experience.  

Third, I wanted to generate income for missions projects in East Africa where I grew up and have lived for the past several years.  For this reason, all the proceeds from this book will go back into missions.  Primarily, the Kitengela University project in Kitengela, Kenya.  

The University is already well under construction with several of the buildings almost complete.   It is a life-long dream for my parents who have worked towards this reality for more than 25 years.     Well over a million dollars from several different sources has already gone into this project to build the initial classrooms.   The project will require at least another million dollars to complete.  That's a lot of money! Slowly, but surely, though it is becoming a reality!    Some really generous people are making some really big sacrifices to make the God-given dreams of young men and women a reality in East Africa.  

 So I decided that I would use this book as a way of generating awareness for the Kitengela University project.  Our culture is familiar with benefit concerts.  Benefit appearances.  Benefit races.  Even benefit shoes.  So why not a benefit book that will  impact the future lives and destinies of many in Kenya and beyond?  The Dream From Africa will be available on Amazon later this week.  The proceeds generated will go towards funding missions projects like the Kitengela University project in Kenya! 

 You can help make a difference for the future destinies of many young people in Kenya by reading this book and by helping to get the word out about this book to your friends and contacts.  Would you consider reading it?  And making others aware of the idea behind it? Especially if you like it after you read it? 

Right now it's only available in digital format, but hopefully, we can get it printed in the coming weeks.
