We are so thankful God opened the door for my coworkers and I to be invited to two village weddings. Weddings can last for many days and since men and women are very separate, we could not see our male co-worker the whole time. We attended two days of one wedding and four days of …
There has been a combined effort in our city of all the churches hosting activities to make our presence known, through Christmas concerts, markets, and art exhibitions. These have been held in popular venues and quite well attended. One of the concerts was held at the Vatican consulate with standing room only and many simply …
We found a park where women who speak our new language meet during the limited hours in the day when women are free for visiting. In the hot months the only time is after sunset. Sunset certainly cools the temperature, but it also makes it almost impossible to spot women wearing black in a dark …
The majority of the guys I’ve been meeting with have been students from other cities, so when summer break begins, they scatter, making it difficult to keep in contact with them. Praise the Lord, some have been accepted by their families as believers and have even been able to witness to friends and family. However, …
A section of the language course I’m taking is for sharing stories about my life. I continue to have encouraging words with my teacher about faith. This week I shared with her about my time in High School when I was really searching about God. I had spent a lot of time reading the Bible …

While reflecting on this month, an image came to mind that I thought I might share as a backdrop for how life often seems here. The image/scene is of a child approaching a pool/body of water for the first time. The child might start far away from the water’s edge, watching and observing and with …
I was to be at our conference at Nsoc during the last two weeks in May. I could go by bus if I accepted the offer of a ride on an elder’s truck to get to the right bus station. That would mean hundreds of kilometres out of the way, spend lots of money, have …
I was thankful to join a colleague to go to an unreached area of the country. We shared with many people, but hearts were not open. There are a lot of abandoned church ruins in the area so it’s a great segue to share the good news to people who know very little about Christ. …
