the following pictures into a more logical sequence, I hope
you will find them somewhat helpful in gaining an understanding
of what we do in Africa.
TANZANIA, LANGHAM PREACHING IN MBEYA
Breakfast with Tony and Cath Swanson at a pleasant
stop-over on the way to Mbeya, Tanzania, which is in
the deep southwestern part of Tanzania near the Zambian border.

The delegates in Mbeya were extremely diligent

GHANA - NATIONAL EXPOSITORY PREACHING SEMINAR
Bec and Affy Adeleye (wife of my Langham colleague Femi
Adeleye of Nigeria) presented the certificates at the close
of the seminar.
Waiting for our next flight
These are a few of the men who participated in our "Training of Local Facilitators" seminar. Please pray for these leaders that they will be encouraged in their work of establishing a grassroots expository preaching movement in Ghana through regional seminars and preachers' clubs.
Reviewing one of the sermon outlines presented
by one of the workshop groups
Femi and Affy Adeleye of Nigeria now live in Ghana, having
moved there from Zimbabwe about a year and a half ago.
Femi and I have labored together in Ghana since the inception
of the program there in 2005. Having served as the Director of IFES
(Inter-Varsity) for all of English-and-Portuguese-Speaking
Africa, Femi is now pursuing a Ph. D. as a Langham Scholar.
Giving out extra book marks that serve as reminders
of our basic steps in sermon writing and that can be
used in training others.
Presentation of an outline by a member of a workshop group
Rev. Daniel Nii Tackie serves as national director for radio preaching for the Church of Pentecost, the largest denomination in Ghana. Bec and I greatly enjoyed our time with Danni and his wife. Danni has already organized and led two seminars. Please pray for him as he trains men in the Church of Pentecost in the skill of expository preaching. Think of the multitudes who will hear the ministries of the radio preachers he trains!
Thank you for praying for her. She has traveled lots
of miles with me.
