"The Maasai Blanket"
illustration of
justification by
faith - and adoption:
"A man will be justified
by faith when, excluded
from righteousness
of works, he by the
righteousness of
Christ, and clothed
in it, appears in
the sight of God
not as a sinner,
but as righteous."
- John Calvin

Intrepid pilot of aeroplanes? I flew VIP Pat Loller -
head of the Navigator Women's UK ministry - and
my colleague Sarah Cox to Western Kenya. We
strayed off course, got lost in (then) hostile
Tanzanian airspace and barely made it back to
Nairobi on petrol fumes. Moral: Don't trust anyold
idiot who's waving a pilot's license around!

On an outing to Keekorok, Becky and I had to wait f
for over an hour to take off - until a large herd of
elephants moved off the grass airstrip. Imagine
that at Chicago O'Hare - "Sorry, but our takeoff has
been delayed indefinitely due to elephants on the
runway."

A few highlights ....
from our ministry in Africa - past & present
from our ministry in Africa - past & present
When I compare my life and
ministry to that of Dr. Berhanu
Habte, I think of that old hymn
- "Am I A Soldier of the Cross"
and ask myself, "AM I? OR, AM
I JUST A CHEAP PLASTIC
IMITATION."

Berhanu was one of the only men I've ever known who could
have (but didn't) say with Paul, "I laboured more than them
all, yet not I, but the grace of God within me." I wish I could
have been a fly on the wall at the Gates when Berhanu was
welcomed home. JUBILATE!
