Studies in Biblical and Church History in Blantyre – Day 9
Monday, April 18th, 2022 My eyes popped open before the sunrise when the chickens woke up and the dogs were being out to bed. I could tell that this was a typical routine in the Ringo household. Who needs an alarm clock when you have a relatively steady sunrise time and animals that know when…

From Lilongwe to Blantyre – Day 8
Sunday, April 17th, 2022 Folding suits, stuffing socks, shifting charging cables, sticking shoes some place they might actually fit. I spent the early hours of the morning packing up all of my possessions. When you are away from home you don’t quite know what you’ll need or when you’ll be able to do laundry. I’m…

A Holy Day in Lilongwe – Day 7
Saturday, April 16th, 2022 At this point I should assume I’m going to be giving a message in each place that I go. I don’t know why I waited to hear if my name would be on the schedule. Thankfully I had checked in with Haiton a few days before so I knew what to…

Walking Through Gardens and the NTBMO – Day 6 part 2
Friday, April 15th, 2022 After returning from our drive to the Zambia border we took a walk through the village market. I didn’t get any photos of the market or off the people there. I guess I didn’t want to look too much like a tourist. The market was relatively empty even in the middle…

Mission Aborted – Day 6 part 1
Friday, April 15th, 2022 The plan was to wake up early in the morning (a common theme of our travels), grab a quick cup of coffee or tea (Cephas prefers tea), and be on the road by 6:30am. I managed to get out of bed and recharge my phone so I could finish a few…

Meetings in Lilongwe and Passover in Nkhwazi – Day 5
Thursday, April 14th, 2022 I woke up early, grabbed a cup of coffee, and headed outside to find a better connection so my blog from the previous day would load. It was nice to enjoy the fresh morning air and see a little bit of the sunrise. The Chapamba family have a small compound in…

Heading To Malawi – Day 4
Wednesday, April 13th, 2022 I finally saw one mosquito. I’m not sure if it was the same one who buzzed my ears just before midnight last night, or another random mosquito trying to escape the house after having its fill. Being bite free for a few days in Zimbabwe was nice, but now my mosquito…

Simple Tasks to Accomplish in Harare – Day 3
Tuesday, April 12th, 2022 I was up before the roosters began to crow this morning. 5am is a reasonable time to be awake so I decided to stay awake and begin my day. When it’s quiet there is time to think and pray and study and plan. We all need some quiet time at least…

Arrival in Harare – Day 2
Monday, April 11th, 2022 Day blends into night, and night back into day, until at last the monotonous drone of the engines of the plane come to a final halt. The experience of flying across the world is only glamorous in part. But as I’ve definitely come to know so intimately, the destination makes the…
