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…

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…

Storms Before the Calm
The sun was completely obscured by the cloud cover on that January day in 2017. Stepping out of the airport, the air wasn’t nearly as warm as I had expected it to be, although the humidity level was not surprising. January is in the middle of the rainy season in Malawi and often brings overcast…
