White Man Walking: An American Businessman's Spiritual Adventure in Africa

In 2000, Ward Brehm took a five-day trek across some of the most remote terrain of Africa, walking where no white man had walked before. During this life-changing journey, Brehm witnessed poverty and suffering unlike anything seen in the Western world. He also witnessed the deep richness of relationships and community in neighborhoods lacking even the very barest of resources. Brehm has journeyed to Africa fourteen times and authored two books on his experiences - Life Through a Different Lens (1993), and White Man Walking (2003).

The pages of White Man Walking open the doors to a life-changing experience rich with unexpected fellowship, insight and self-discovery. Brehm s adventure walking across the terrains of East Africa, and his encounter with the local people, became a faith journey that was to change his life forever. Even as he hiked in 100-degree heat, drank out of dung-infested mud holes, and was mistaken as a ghost due to the light color of his skin, Brehm forged relationships with the Pokot people, and in the process, became one of them.
