That’s the ping pong match going back and forth in me right now.
On one hand, I’m excited that 55 cassettes were taken by 5 different Nyakyusa pastors today. It is progress. It is God’s Word going out in a form that makes it accessible to more people. It is an accomplishment that I should be [...]

This has been by far my most active week in that I made seven different trips to the office to pick up people to speak on recordings. The highest was four in one day, Wednesday. Couple that with a couple of shopping trips [...]
The following is an article set to appear in our 2nd quarter newsletter which is about to be released:
This was a CRAZY busy quarter in terms of all the things I’ve been able to do. Let me begin by addressing the preview items from last quarter’s newsletter.
