I returned to Namibia on business recently and was happily busy in appointments, teaching, meeting partners and friends. As I traveled, I received two cancelations which gave me a free day. As a treat for myself I decided I would travel a little more and swing through Etosha National Park and try to see someContinue reading “No binoculars”

Having just returned from a multi-faceted visit to three locations in Angola, I wanted to share about the work of our newest family in Huambo, Angola. Mathias and Yadira and their two little girls have been in place for nearly a year and God is opening doors and bringing people across their path frequently. MathiasContinue reading “Seeds planted”

As part of a regional office team here in Cape Town, Cami and I go to an actual office twice a week and have meetings, devotions, and prayer (the other days we work from home or are out and about). A bit of a change for a lone ranger like me… but so nice toContinue reading “Sometimes “nope””

I left Connecticut, Cami and Charlie, memories, miles of travel (and lots of snow and cold) a little over a week ago and I was forced to think about what I take with me we I leave. Looking at another move, lots of travel, new faces, new friends, and too many unknowns to mention, movingContinue reading “What do you take with you?  “

We in the west; Evangelical, wealthy, non-persecuted,Continue reading “A historic, strong, connected faith..”

Cami and i recently went to Cairo for leadership meetings (which were great). Before the meetings we took a few days and became tourists and were absolutely stunned by the history, architecture, religions and friendliness of Egypt. We saw the pyramids, the treasures and heard from tour guides and locals on the ongoing religious andContinue reading “Empty tombs and the afterlife”

Since I started having back pain in 2007 from a herniated disc, I’ve had three surgeries. I found out last week that the fourth is imminent, and it is both a relief and a disappointment. You always think you will be the one to beat the predictions, but you usually are not. You think “next year willContinue reading “Reflections on my spine”

If you are reading this, you probably know me and know that I LOVE biking, specifically mountain biking. I ride as much as I can, preferably off road and singletrack out in the wilderness. Yes, there are inherent dangers and riding here in Namibia when one goes off trail or crashes, often it is intoContinue reading “Crashing”
