As many of you know…we have served in Africa for a while now…and honestly it has left marks on us, many dear and precious but not all good, there are scars and wounds. So, for two months we took the time to look at these things. We delved deep into our issues, hangups and fears…andContinue reading “Where’ve ya been?”

Recently a colleague spoke from the story of the Paralytic in Luke 5. Most sermons I have ever heard focus on the healing but this time I heard something different. In the story we see a huge crowd, religious leaders and people from all the surrounding towns and villages have come to hear Christ. TheyContinue reading “The Paralytic”

I was at the mall the other day and within the course of 15 minutes heard at least 6 different languages spoken.  After being in Mozambique where there was one dominant language and culture in our part of the country, it continually astonishes how diverse Namibia is.  There is a large white population here inContinue reading “Multicultural Namibia”

Here we are – we are finally beginning to realize what it all means, now that we have been here several months  and are settling into a routine.  It is wonderful in so many ways, but also comes with responsibilities that are new to us.

Yes, there are good private schools in Windhoek.  However, due to costs and to some other factors, we felt it was best to homeschool Ben this year for 5th grade.  It’s been a good decision so far because it has allowed us both to travel.  Ben only got his materials (finally tracked down used onContinue reading “Homeschooling”

Just a week after we took over leadership, we participated in the 3-day debrief of a departing AIM team, which was intense and exhausting.  From there, all of us drove 4 hours north to Grootfontein, the town we lived in 20 years ago, then 3 1/2 hours due east to “Bushmanland”.  There, we spent twoContinue reading “Trekking North”
