A Day in Nkhwazi
August 16th, 2023 There have been times when Nick reminisced about the beans served at breakfast in Zimbabwe. Lena and I sometimes recall the porridge served at the youth camp in Malawi in 2017. If I remember correctly it was a rice porridge, slightly sweetened with Malawian sugar and flavored with groundnut (peanut) flour. This…

Feasting in Harare – Day 13
Friday, April 22nd, 2022 Today was a Holy Day, the Seventh Day of Unleavened Bread. I got up early to continue my preparations for the coming day. I had picked out a list of sermons from the ones I have already given over the past few years. It’s unlikely that many, if any of the…

Coffee in Johannesburg – Day 12
Thursday, April 21st, 2022 After finally being settled the night before, I don’t think any of us in the house really wanted to get up so early. I knew Gracious was going to be at the compound sometime around 6am to get us to the Blantyre airport sometime around 7am. I usually assume I should…

Mountains of Adventure in Blantyre and Mulanje – Day 11
Wednesday, April 20th, 2022 The day began as many days have recently. A cup of coffee on the veranda, writing, preparing for the day. Gracious arrived in the morning so we could travel together to visit Mr. Ken Maere, a deacon in the Blantyre congregation who lives in Mulanje. After discussing some pastoral matters we…

Going Slowly Around Blantyre – Day 10
Tuesday, April 19th, 2022 Sitting on the edge of the veranda just after the sun is up you can see the tops of hills and mountains on the other side of the city. Blantyre and its neighborhoods are filled with hills which can make the a difficult drive on unpaved roads. But it also makes…

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…

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…
