The Countdown

It's starting to seem real now that I've only got one week left until leaving for Africa. Today I learned that one of my assignments will be to speak twice in Mozambique for 60-90 minutes on the topic of salvation. Speaking through an interpreter will be a new experience for me. Even though I've given nearly 500 sermons in my life, this one has me a little nervous. But, I'll just pray and try to relax and see what God can do in spite of my human limitations.

I'm including here a map from Google Earth that will help you get a sense of where I'll be traveling. We begin in northern Mozambique (Pemba) and are there for a couple days. Then we fly to south-central Mozambique (Beira) for two days. From there we go overland up through Milange, then into Malawi up at least as far north as Lilongwe. The last leg of the trip goes west into Zambia through Lusaka and ends at Macha.
