We are still working at our computers here in Johannesburg. We are still processing literature for Baptist representatives and Baptist organizations we work with.
In March we were able to make a short trip back to Maputo, Mozambique. That is where we lived and served for more than 10 years. First Baptist Church, Maputo, invited us to return for the celebration of the anniversary of their church.
They also had a women’s conference during the three days leading up to the anniversary celebration. Jim was the main speaker for the conference and for the anniversary celebration and I got to lead some of the study times with the women. But the best part of our time was to see people that we had not seen since we left in 1997.
Jim enjoyed preaching regularly the first four months of this year at Primeira Igreja Baptista Portugesa de Johannesburg. He filled in while the pastor was on furlough in Brazil. Jim still has opportunities to preach but not on a weekly basis.
An opportunity that is opening up for us is to teach English to some young people from China. We have not worked with Chinese people before but there are many Chinese people in the Johannesburg area and especially in the area near us.
