Dear family and friends In the last two weeks we have been going through the story of Cornelius.

Dear friends and family I have changed the days for the teaching to Thursdays and Fridays so as not to clash with some of their activities.

Dear friends and family The start of phase 2 at Koropa got off to a slow start. Tuesday afternoon the village was deserted and no one came that night. I was a bit discouraged and wondered if anyone was going to come this week.

Dear friends and family Tuesday night it rained so we had the lesson in the house. It was Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem on the donkey, the last supper and His betrayal and arrest. It was a small group but Robert and Ekesue were there. I didn’t see them at all last week so it wasContinue reading 17th week of teaching – June 12-14

NextContinue reading 14th week of teaching – May 22-24

Dear friends and family This week Heti wasn’t able to go up because he has to pick his coffee.

Dear all, I went up on my own again this week as Heti was involved in enrolling students for the teachers’ college.
