Our Journey to Jamaica for the Easter Youth Bible School really started 6 months before we left. Preparation, they say, is the key to a successful trip.

Monthly meetings, numerous emails, many phone calls, sewing backpacks in the basement, and collecting supplies from the Christadelphian Save the Children Fund (CSTCF) in London Ontario for classes were just a few of the planning steps. continue reading

Preaching is always a challenge! Even after many years’ experience it is still a challenge!

According to my guide book, over a third of the 16-17 million Chileans live in Santiago, the capital. It is a booming metropolis nestled between some pretty large mountains, aka the Andes, and a fascinating combination of 400 year old churches and modern skyscrapers.

Hello again from Córdoba, Argentina, the little part of Europe that ended up in South America!
