The journey to Africa this time lasted nearly 2 months. In just over a year, we have spent 5 months on the continent, and experienced several advancements for the Kingdom. I want to make it perfectly clear that only by the power and presence of the Almighty have the numerous achievements been possible. Left to my own devices, I would have screwed things up within the first month, then most likely, the progress would have stopped. Thank the Lord He is not looking for perfectio

Little did we know that our four-day getaway to Lake Malawi would bear so much fruit. Let me state unequivocally that it was only because of God, since He had definitely prepared the path and clearly guided us. The area is heavily infested with witchcraft and demonic activity.

After our daughter had returned back to America, we had scheduled a trip to South Africa. Jonathan had visited Malawi to see what God’s Echo was doing. The conclusion was to move forward in South Africa with pastor training and Bible distribution. We were prompted to go there to help encourage Jonathan and support their efforts. Bubba was the name of the gentleman that was helping Jonathan and knew the local language, Zulu. We were met at the airport by both of them. Whenever

Our daughter Maria is safely back in the US now. It was very emotional and a tough 24 hours or so. The impact that people here in Africa left on her was monumental. She can hardly wait to return in the summer. If possible, she may even stay for an entire year and continue her college classes online. Everyone that has come here has experienced the same thing, a longing to stay and to be around these people more. My relationship with several of the people here has grown substan
