My Speaking

I would love to speak for your class, group or organization on any of the topics below. Please contact me at chrisloehmer@gmail.com. 

 Journey to the HEART of Kenya When God calls you to take a mission trip to a third world country, you need to listen, but more importantly, you need to keep listening while you are there. This trip will take you so far outside of your comfort zone that you will continually ask, “Why am I here?” And it is not until you take to heart the words of Ecclesiastes 3 that you will know that all things happen in God’s time.

Medical care in a third world country While in Kenya in 2006, the team I was part of held medical clinics and health seminars. Learn about diseases which we have never seen here in the United States but which run rampant among those living in poverty.

What do you know about Peru? If you know anything at all about Peru, you probably have heard of the two main tourist attractions there. The fascinating Incan ruins at Machu Picchu high in the Andes Mountains, or the Nazca Lines in the desert of southern Peru. Because I am not the conventional traveler, when I volunteered in Peru in 2009, I stayed in the city of Ayacucho. Nestled among the Andes Mountains, this city has as much history as any place I have been to. Join me to hear tales and see pictures of the colorful people, beautiful children and intriguing history of this ancient Peruvian locale.

My winding road to publication In the spring of 2010, when I began blogging about my mission trip to Africa, I could only dream that it would become a book. All I had were words staring back at me from the computer monitor. How would these words ever become a single cohesive work? Travel with me along that winding road to publication. Hear about the ups and downs of my travels, including how the roller coaster ride of my trip to Kenya paralleled my trip to published author.
