Our house in the village
Categories: Culture

I’ve put up some photos of our house in the village in Africa where we have lived on and off since 2000.  There are photos of the original hut that we stayed in as well as our current two-bedroom “palacio”!  These photos are available at our Afri-Kers Photo Journal.  When we return to Mozambique in October we will get the house cleaned up and ready to occupy.  It’s likely that we’ve been invaded by mice, termites and possibly bats!  We’re unsure how much time we will spend up there in the coming year but hope to spend at least a week a month there if not more.  If possible we like to have the Nyungwe translators visit the village.  It’s a quiet place to work and we get a lot done there compared to Tete city where there are many distractions.  Photos of the Nyungwe translators are available at the Nyungwe Photo Journal.

Today, I was also interested to read a post about the excitement of the people in that area who are hearing the Word of God in their own language for the first time. You can read his post here. It makes me look forward to translation even more! It also makes me realize how hardened our culture has becometo the gospel. [...]
