My first sermon in Africa

Well, today I met up with some missionaries who are here for the long term in Lichinga - five to six years! Whoa.

I hung out with the family for the day (where we went to this nearby lake and saw this large abandoned plane?!). Then it was back for an afternoon nap, and then home church - where I was asked to lead worship (play guitar and sing) and preach!

Not quite what I was expecting ... but I greatly enjoyed the opportunity. They asked me to speak again next Sunday too: I told them to speak to my agent ("Agent who?", they said. Actually, just kidding).

It sure was great to play the guitar again. Though what I'm really hanging out to do is find a piano somewhere here where I can play loud hymns and 1980s love songs. Now THAT will be a highlight ...

... Am off to this ecolodge in the middle of nowhere tomorrow to do some consulting so I don't think there will be ANY internet access. Well, you never know ...?

That's me in the corner ...
