• Flying to Nigeria in less than 10 days

    I have spent the last 10 days extremely focused on my trip to Nigeria on November 30 to December 15. I could not get my visa until I had tickets in hand for the flight. I could not buy the tickets until I had money to do so. It cut me a little close on…

  • Prayer Letter November 2009

    Dear Praying Friends, Nigeria? Since when did Nigeria become a part of Latin America?

  • Update – June 20

    We have had a great, but busy travel month. We were on the road for 4 weeks. Part of that time was spent with family at a family reunion. We have not been able to attend a family gathering (other than one funeral) since we went to the field in 2004. It was good to…
