The Literacy classes is in an area about 10 km from us. The road there is seldom used… in fact, we are making the only car tracks on this road these days! Come on a drive with me, to the other side of… SomeWhere! A typical Mwinika house and yard on the way. Since our […]

NothingMore’s yard. Did you know that even chickens have their in and out groupies? This chicken is not part of the popular in-group of chickens in the yard and is being chased away by the nicer looking ones. He is quite tame and I often find him sitting quietly in a corner close to wherever […]

The people of the area where we are doing the Literacy classes are far from our or the Henderson’s houses and not so much used to have their pictures taken as our closer friends and neighbours. They love to pose for pictures and then watch the results on the little camera screen! Two little tykes, […]

The second week of Literacy classes went well, despite a slow start because of rain. The class room under-a-tree doesn’t leave much room for teaching when it rains! However, the Lord is faithful and even though it rained every day and every night since the beginning of the week, it stopped every afternoon (except one) […]

It’s Saturday and although I still have much baking and cooking, HomesSchool prepping, treating people and visiting to do today, I have a minute to post some photos of the last week. Francois is visiting a church plant team south of us – no photos of that yet! The week started with a trip to […]

The sick and infirm did not diminish with the time constraints during the start of the Literacy course for Nadia. I was still weak from being sick with malaria however and felt my body reacting to the sights I needed to treat… One guy arrived with a very swollen eye… the reason? He went to […]

This week the next eMwinika Literacy course started, despite the setback of another malaria attach (Nadia) and tummy bug (Rasu) the week before. Although at one stage it seemed that the course will have to be postponed, God is faithful in giving us the grace and energy to start the course in time. This time, […]

While taking a short break away, before the rush of this term’s Literacy and Bible teaching start, I got sick with malaria again. This time however, I was not nearly as sick as the previous year when I had to be flown to the city for treatment. I still ended up in hospital for a […]

Praise the Lord for a very fruitful first step towards 1st cycle Bible teaching in our area. Although not nearly as many leaders attended as we were expecting, it was encouraging to see key people of our community, people with whom we have been forging friendships over the years, come together and excitedly discuss why […]

Yesterday our great chief’s son was nearly killed by a crocodile. Moses and two friends were crossing a river (about 30 min walk from us), when a crocodile attacked him. A chunk of his right leg was ripped out, but he managed to get away to the other side. As he and his friends tried […]
