Polite Conversations in the Air

6th August 2026 After being in airports and on planes for almost 30 hours Josh and I made it to Africa. Actually we had already made a pitstop on the continent when we flew into Dubai after our long flight (13+ hours). But Dubai (and the U.A.E.) is definitely more middle eastern in culture so…

Coffee and Takeoff

5th August 2026 After a relatively uneventful morning (and a general lack of sleep for me) Josh and I are standing in line to board our first of three flights on our way to Harare. We are taking off from JFK this morning and will land in Dubai early tomorrow morning. This will be the…

The Beginning of a Journey

31st July 2026 Every chance I get I ask some of my fellow pastors if they would like to travel with me to Africa. I ask other people too. I want to go everywhere (and meet just about everyone) and I am always hopeful that the people I know will one day see the places…

Sunday Drive to Eastern Malawi?

8th February 2026 I never considered that Malawi would have Eastern and Western regions. After all, it’s such a narrow country. But considering that it takes time to travel from east to west (such as from Salima to Lilongwe) it makes sense. Here’s a map of the region to give you an idea of Malawi’s…

Sabbath Rest In Motion

7th February 2026 … 7:15am … This morning I heard reports that it has been raining in Salima since 3am. That area really needs the rain. There are penalty of places around Blantyre that also need some rain. But at least it was dry in time for the brethren to make their way to Sabbath…

Blantyre Visits

6th February 2026 We planned for an early start so I had to make sure I was ready to go. After coffee but veggie anything else, Dan showed me the water pump that has been in use at the church property here in Blantyre for seven years. There was a short circuit and the backup…
