Sabbath in Chemba
16th August 2025 What can I say about a nice Sabbath morning when we wake up where we will have services. No need for a commute or to check the traffic before leaving for services. The only thing missing was Lena’s company. My hope is that she’ll be able to visit Chemba one day so…

A Quick Dash to Blantyre
7th – 8th July 2024 4am came very quickly. And for some reason so did the turn off the M1 highway towards the airport entrance. Cephas and George got us there safely and in plenty of time. I’ll admit, we were a little too early, but better that than being too late. After putting our…

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…
