We rejoice with our African colleagues in their recent publication of the Africa Bible Commentary (“ABC,” Tokunboh Adeyemo, general editor, Nairobi: WordAlive/Zondervan, 2006). The first of its kind, and over 12 years in the making, the ABC is written by over 70 African biblical scholars and church leaders. The ABC explains the complete text of the Bible and applies the Bible’s teaching to contemporary Africa. Its interpreters respect the integrity of the biblical text and use African proverbs, metaphors, and stories to ...

All three of us thank you for your prayers. Our meetings last week with the leadership of Daystar University went splendidly, thank you.

Please do pray for continuing good health ...

Mimi and I will continue to update you as we are able. Our work is going very well, and Mimi is doing great. I have had some digestive troubles, but I am feeling a bit better today. African bacteria! Thank you for praying....

Returning from Nairobi to Athi River along Mombasa Road our university bus came upon a horrific scene, one which Mimi and I immediately recognized from last year's trips up and down the Kenyan "roads" - another fatal accident. Like last summer, we saw lives poured out on the horrible "roads" around here - an ugly and wrenching reminder of death in the midst of this mayhem. Mimi and I can just almost feel the pain in the faces of the onlooking crowds. For many here, life is very hard, and then it seems to end. Lord, help us to do justice, ...
