In 1973, I was lying under a mosquito net in Freetown, Sierra Leone ready to start a walk across Africa. I had just been informed of all the horrible diseases there. "Don't eat the local food, don't drink the water, don't bathe in the rivers...there is malaria, yellow fever, cholera, etc..." I had 'no' supplies as I do today, I only had God. As I opened my Bible by candle light that first night, I read the words of Jesus from Luke the 10th Chapter "Go your way...whatever house you enter, first say "Peace to this house...remain in the same house, eating and drinking such things as they give...Do not go from house to house...Whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you. Heal the sick who are there and say to them "the kingdom of God has come near you". That night I made a commitment to God to do what Jesus said.

Enter the first house that invites me.
Eat whatever is given before me.
Drink whatever is given me.
Pray for the sick there in the house.
Say the Kingdom and God has come near.

Over and over again, around the world through the years I've eaten things I did not want to touch, and drank water I would not want to bathe in. I have said, "Lord Jesus, kill them all!" And quickly eat it and drink it. And by God's grace I've never been sick from food or water and parasites ...Jesus did it! I give Him all the credit.
