The second year of classes for the Bongolo Nursing students started out with a three day Spiritual Retreat. Pastor Konde from the Theological Center in Libreville came to be the special speaker. Our 16 students and we the profs all appreciated his ministry. The day after the retreat ended the regular 1st Trimester started of classes. Each trimester is ten weeks long, followed by a week of Exams. We are now in week ten so the students take final exams November 11-14th. I am sure they will be glad to be done with theses classes. I know I will be!!
I have been attending the Kanda Alliance Church. About last March a strong tornado like wind took the roof of the parsonage completely off. This photo was taken two weeks ago, with the parsonage in the background and the church to the left. Last week the parsonage roof project was completely finished and the Laypastor moved back into the home. How happy the church members are to have that project done, especially the Laypastor, Wilfried.
On Saturday March 16th I plan to drive with others to Libreville so we can fly out early Monday morning, March 18th. We'll be headed to Malaga, Spain to attend the All-Africa Field Forum. About 330 people are expected to attend the conference, coming from many countries. I will try to update my blog after the conference, letting you know how it went. Thanks for your prayers for safe travel and a good conference.
