Earlier this week I got a new oven!!!!  The apartment we moved into had a few furnishings and included a very old stove and oven.  From the beginning I had trouble using the oven, but I figured it was my inability to convert the Celsius temperature to Fahrenheit.  Well, after nearly three months of burning […]

Mosquito Net Woes

One of many changes I had to get used to when I moved to Malawi was sleeping under a mosquito net at night.  At first, it seemed so confining, but the net has grown into a type of security blanket for me keeping out not only mosquitoes but also every other creepy crawly creature that […]

Youth Speak in Different Languages on Pentecost

Beautiful Saviour, Blantyre, Malawi, has a rare privilege.  We have brothers and sisters in the faith from various African countries.  Our English worship is the common language that brings us together.  In this multi-language African city we feel the curse of Babel.  So often there is confusion of tongues, and from that comes misunderstanding and […]
