Water, Fields, and Battlefields
Day 6 – 19th January 2023 The day’s task was to visit one of the church members who lives not far outside of Kadoma. Douglas Kachilima lives on his family’s plot of land in an area called Battlefields. The name comes from the history of naming local mining claims after famous battles. More than 40…

The Highest Point in All of Kadoma

Let the Feasting Begin!
October 10th, 2022 I’m late in sharing my photos from the entire Feast of Tabernacles. For some reason my blog wasn’t cooperating very well and seemed to crash every time I tried to post anything. I’ll try and post some of my photos periodically with a few details as I’m able to. The photos above…
