A little bit of culture...

This morning we were scheduled to speak to a group of pastors from New Christian Church in Lilongwe. We set out to get there just a little bit late as we had to search for a printing place that made photocopies. It's been a while since we visited this church and there have been many new homes popping up all around the tiny church building. After driving back and forth, we finally connected with one of the pastors who showed us where the road is for the church.

We presented the Community Health Evangelism program to them and they loved it. They want more teaching as CHE helps new churches to spring up. It is a different way to do evangelism and discipleship, but it has longer lasting results. After the meeting, we had Malawian cooking for the first time since arriving back after our furlough.

After the meeting we went back home to nurse Larry's ear. He had been bitten by something and his ear was all red and swollen. After researching it from a book called, "Where There Is No Doctor" (because we had no doctor available on a Saturday), he didn't think it was too serious. He put some Benadryl cream on it and it felt better.

In the evening, Andy and Rita wanted to cook Malawian food for our guest, Miriam Njuguna, from Kenya who has been staying with us this week.

On the menu: Nsima, beans, eggplant, and chicken in tomato sauce. Pretty tasty.
