Sabbath in Kwekwe
8th August 2026 Morning came and I was ready for more sleep. Josh and I both have some kind of minor cold. I had it first so it’s definitely my fault that he caught it. There’s also some bug going around the world because we’ve heard of a couple others in Zim who also have…

Cold Floors and a Warm Start
7th August 2026 Arriving at the Harare airport was a simple process thankfully. I’m familiar with the routine by now. The biggest hiccup was trying to fit an entire plane of people onto a bus to get them from the tarmac to the terminal. Only a handful of people didn’t make it on the bus.…

Polite Conversations in the Air
6th August 2026 After being in airports and on planes for almost 30 hours Josh and I made it to Africa. Actually we had already made a pitstop on the continent when we flew into Dubai after our long flight (13+ hours). But Dubai (and the U.A.E.) is definitely more middle eastern in culture so…

Coffee and Takeoff
5th August 2026 After a relatively uneventful morning (and a general lack of sleep for me) Josh and I are standing in line to board our first of three flights on our way to Harare. We are taking off from JFK this morning and will land in Dubai early tomorrow morning. This will be the…

The Beginning of a Journey
31st July 2026 Every chance I get I ask some of my fellow pastors if they would like to travel with me to Africa. I ask other people too. I want to go everywhere (and meet just about everyone) and I am always hopeful that the people I know will one day see the places…

The Cross Keys Hotel dates back to the 16th (maybe even 15th) century and is associated with Oliver Cromwell and the English Civil War. Legend has it that it was originally built around a large…

Rain in the Driest County in all the UK
10th February 2026 Len Parker, an elder in the UK, called me up before I left on this trip. He was hoping we could get together during one of my stopovers. I’m happy to say it happened. Lena and I had met Len and his wife Sandra at the feast a few years ago. My…

Travel
9th February 2026 I was up early for a cup of coffee and hopefully to see some of the nieces and nephews before they left for school. I would be gone by the time they returned home. Before breakfast Dan asked me if I wanted to stretch my legs. I agreed and we hiked through…

Sunday Drive to Eastern Malawi?
8th February 2026 I never considered that Malawi would have Eastern and Western regions. After all, it’s such a narrow country. But considering that it takes time to travel from east to west (such as from Salima to Lilongwe) it makes sense. Here’s a map of the region to give you an idea of Malawi’s…
