Conference

Jan. 9, 2008

Niamey, Niger – 11:50pm

Last Day of Conference

Conference is over. Man, it was really good. One thing I’ve really appreciated is the SIM community. It really is like a family, and it’s cool to see people from so many nationalities! I mean, in Danja I’ll be working with these people, for example:

Tony – from DR Congo

Bunmi and Loveth Oluloto – from Nigeria

Jason and Leng Hazell – from Australia and Philippines

June Leech and Felicity – from United Kingdom

Helen Nixon and Laura – from Australia

In Maradi:

Peter and Sally Cunningham – from Australia

Chris and Freuke Nicholson – from New Zealand

Gail Klippenstein – from Canada

Aaron Thacher – from USA

That is seriously a multicultural team, and I am so glad to be a part of it. It’s kind of like a piece of heaven, in that people from all over the world come together to praise the same God and serve him!




Lunch with some guys from the Green Valley Church team. They were great!




Pictures on the Niger River!


The Kennedy Bridge, which crosses the Niger River.


Pastor Ken Burkey and I. He's a good man.


Arrival at the guest house!

Yeah, bottles are awesome! They have a Fanta here called Pomelo, which is like grapefruit Fanta. It's really good!

Please...pomelo in the Philippines and Indonesia is one the best, sweetest fruits they have. I do like Fanta though. And I do miss pop in a bottle.
