Rich Happenings 1

April 2011SALT (South Africa Leadership Team) took place in South Africa with Glenn and Kathy Kendall, Mark and Kathy Schaaf, Rodger and Lynne Schmidt, and myself. We had a time of looking at God's power at work in our lives, praying together, looking at the Field Leader vs Field Coordinator, the Missional Church by Timothy Keller, the unique cultural narrative of each of our countries, group processing and listening, moral purity - emphasizing pornography issues today, and current issues in…See More

My Hardest run !

The annual Mahajanga hot run half Marathon (13.1 miles or 21.98 Km) took place on Saturday, April 2nd.  I had trained for it by running on the beach barefoot - what a joy.  I had also had a few practice shorter runs at 3 PM in the afternoon to hopefully get use to the heat (85-90 degrees Fahrenheit).  Tuesday, before the race I had to make a 1,350 kilometer drive into the country on secondary roads and arrived back in Mahajanga Thursday afternoon –one day of rest before the race.…See More

Redemption

I couldn't believe all the extended sitting room at this small church.  Yet, it filled up all because of one man.  Pator Franklin shared with me that it was quite easy. Tompo-Franklin is the leader of his clan. He comes from the SE coast of Madagascar and has lived in Mahajanga for a long time. He decided to attend church so the whole clan joined him. Tompo-Franklin is sitting in the lower front right corner.…See More

8 Wonderful Miles

Tuesday morning was overcast and cool - a great day for a run. However the tide was high. That means I couldn't run barefoot on the beach.  So I put on my tennis shoes (old ones) headed out to run on the dirt roads.  It felt good to be in shoes for a change.  I headed for Grande Parvois beach. It is around 3 miles from my house.  Well, it has been raining during the night so there are puddles of all sizes dotting the road.  As i started this run I was discouraged. What a great adventure to run…See More

Back in Madagascar

I arrived last Sunday and was preaching this Sunday. It started out with some demonstrations and a voting on a national referendum to change the constitution. Along the way some of the army rebelled and tried to take over the country. It failed. The the best news is to be back here with Malagasy Christians singing, worshipping, and preaching. So for my first sermon I was asked to preach at an English service and then translate my own sermon into English as I went along. It made for an…See More

The Run for Bonnie

I never thought a marathon could be so much fun. The sun was out and it stayed cool (66 degrees). The crowds were great and the water stops plentiful. I started at the end of the pack since I had never run a marathon before. I was in block 7, the last one to start with white jersey numbers. However that enabled me to pass people throughout the whole race and that's always feels good.I changed my running to a 2 minute run and a 45 second rest for the whole race. So after I got up the hills it…See More

Athens Marathon

Today we toured some of the most famous ruins in Athens - The temple of Athenia, the goddess of Athens and the museum that holds many of the artifacts found in the excavations at the Acropolis and the Parthenon. They were amazing structures built for political reasons to strengthen Athens as the most important city in the area. I look forward when we go to Mars hill when I can see where Paul preached to the Athenians.Tomorrow at 9 AM is the beginning of the race. We have to move our clock back…See More
