Publisher's Description
▼▲Joel found out that Barafu is the Swahili word for ice. Feeling the bitter cold clinging to his body, Joel had no doubt the locals knew what they were talking about. As they were hiking closer to the summit, the air was definitely chilly and thinner. It took a lot of strength and determination to move each foot. Joels leg muscles were aching with pain, mainly, because he was exhausted from lack of sleep, and his body trying to fight off the harsh cold. His breathing was becoming more labored as the climb was ascending higher and higher, with little oxygen to take in.
Joel kept thinking to himself, This is harder than I thought! Why did I even want to climb this mountain? I read all of the facts, but no one prepared me for such challenges. I almost wish I had stayed at one of the other camps. NO!!!!! I can do this, I think? With each step, the trail was becoming very steep.
When Joel decides to take a chance to climb the majestic mountain Kilimanjaro in Tanzania Africa, he encounters all kinds of challenges, wild animals, harsh weather conditions, but mostly fear! Through each hardship, though, Joel finds courage and strength. A courage that can only be found when one has a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Tell us a little about yourself. I have earned a degree in Early Childhood Education from Southeastern Louisiana and currently working on a degree in Biblical Studies from Grace College of Divinity. I am employed as curriculum coordinator by a large church in Mandeville, Louisiana that disciples around 1,000 children each weekend ranging from ages 18 months to fifth grade. I have volunteered in Children's Ministry for over nine years.
What was your motivation behind this project? My passion to teach children that no matter how tough their life is, they can be sure of Jesus' love to ease their sorrows, fears, anger, pain, hurt, sickness, loneliness or rejection.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? This book was inspired by God to tell children that God's word is still relevant in today's culture, just as it has been from the beginning of time. As children are reading this book, they will learn that God wants to be in their everyday life and wants to have a relationship with them.
How were you personally impacted by working on this project? Learning and creating ways to teach children about the Bible, godly relationships and the Hoy Spirit.
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? My favorite Christian author is C.S. Lewis
