Change is Good
My planned four weeks in Africa has been changed due to an injury at the gym trying to stay healthy and fit. I had shoulder surgery, Thursday, and will recoup for the next several months before I can travel again.
The good news is that I will be working on our TLI courses to better reach students who learn through storytelling, symbols, and a variety of teaching techniques more in line with African culture and orality. Most of the world’s population are oral learners. This includes Africa and the U.S.
The following video is from my last trip to Sierra Leone. Great students, great weeks of teaching.

Please pray for the team going to Freetown and Makeni without me.
In the meantime, I’ve added a few pictures and a couple of links to articles that I have found helpful.
The last link is a famous sermon by John Piper that influenced a gereration of students.
Thanks for praying and giving.
