Spokesman’s Club in Lilongwe
1st February 2026 … 7:30am … Coffee and breakfast complete, backpacks in tow, passengers in their seats. The men were headed to Lilongwe for the day. Cephas, George, Mr. Phiri, and I climbed in the car and headed for the highway, stopping briefly so we could get another two liters of petrol which we hoped…

Sabbath Videos
31st January 2026 I definitely meant to add some videos of the music from Sabbath services. These are short but just long enough to give a taste of the beauty music from God’s people in praise to Him. -Lewis VanAusdle

A Sabbath of Blessings
31st January 2026 Sabbath morning came more quickly than expected, or rather by the time I had to get out of bed I felt like I needed more sleep. I went to bed expecting one phone call sometime in the evening but received two. I also received a text message with news of a miracle.…

Sabbath Preparations
30th January 2026 … 8:00am … Our visit to Mr. Phiri’s home was delayed a few times yesterday because of our changing schedule. Thankfully he was still expecting us. Cephas and I left at 8am to pick Laiton up at the church property since he really knows his way around. On the way, not far…

The espresso drinks are pretty tasty and it turns out their chicken pesto shawarma isn’t bad either. I’ve probably mentioned it before but Ethiopia feels partly Middle…

Staying Ahead of the Weather
24th January 2026 Today has been a good day, stressful in its own way but still good. Yesterday was a bit more stressful. I was once again reminded of the changing nature of my career, from day to day, from moment to moment. While I do enjoy the immense variety that comes with being a…

Wintering in Africa (upcoming trip)
8th January 2026 Tickets are bought but I haven’t yet packed for the trip. What kind of jacket should I pack if I’ll be transiting through winter weather in London and arriving into the comfortable temperatures of the cool, rainy season in Malawi? We’ve recently had snow here in Brooklyn. It’s not unusual for me…
