My stolen sneakers

The story of the stolen sneakers.   It rained this morning but I was determined to go up the mountain to Bwalaylow to visit Edna (highly recommend a Facebook page search for Edna). I haven’t seen her since I finished the carport for her tricycle. I knew the way would be muddy and the short…

I left Dallas airport in the evening. After a painful good bye and a quick prayer for my luggage and loaded the 150lbs in 3 pieces onto the conveyer belt and headed through security. I was thankful that the hard part of managing the 3 large bags (at 50lbs each plus a 50lbs carryon and…

Christmas eve 2017

I went swimming this morning with Gift, Arinaphie, Labecka and their little sister Luthy. I spent 2 hours teaching them each how to dive.  Remembering my dad’s instructions from my own youth as I watched them clumsily take mouthfuls of water over and over… when they finally understood the mechanics and each did a decent…

The story of Koinonia

I had just landed in Malawi, I had liquidated my assets and decided to go to school online for my biblical counseling degree. While sorting out internet I prayed to God, “Father? Could I have a dog? Am I responsible enough for a dog?” I had never had a dog. I had never been ready…

A dream

The room is no bigger than a bedroom, brightly lit by one wall of windows. The wall is slightly curved to allow a full view of Lake Malawi and even further of to the east Mozambique (on a clear day). The first thing one would notice after the windows in this oddly shaped room, is…

The sunburn

First I need it to be noted that I wear sunblock everyday. Yesterday I had applied said sun blocker but was unprepared for 3 hour walk, in the hot African sun . It does not hurt much, it is not a bad burn. In fact I would say it’s the sweetest sun burn I have…

Deja

When she was 7 she was hit by a car. The car took her leg mid thigh and caused significant damage to the other leg. She is 12 now. She has come several times to play, but it’s not culture here to ask about her suffering. Yesterday Gift told me that Deja burned her leg…
