Arrival in Egypt Jeremy and I departed Nairobi at 6:15 p.m. on Thursday and arrived in Cairo at 2:30 a.m. on Friday. We exchanged enough money to pay for the taxi to get us to the hotel. A large tour group was departing the hotel as we arrived, so we had to wait for them to do some cleaning before we could get into our room. It was nearly 4:30 before we finally got to bed. My purpose for going to Cairo was to meet a young man that I had been studying with on the internet for a few months. Since I’m publishing this report, plus putting it on my blog on the internet, I will not use his true name. We will only use his nickname, Totti, which is the name of one of his favorite soccer players. Totti had completed two Bible correspondence courses and had many more questions that he wanted answered. He is not allowed to own a Bible, so he has to read the scriptures on the internet. He had expressed his desire to be baptized for the remission of his sins, but he had ...

A Return Trip When I left Kenya in 2007, the brethren made me promise that I would return for more classes, if it was the Lord’s will. I was able to work a trip into this year’s schedule. We planned classes for several of the same areas where we had worked before, but we also added some new locations. Travel Companions I invited Rob & Cheryl Buchanan, from South Africa, to accompany me on this trip. We have worked together on many different occasions, in South Africa, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and on my last trip into Kenya.

Cheryl assisted with classes for the women and children. I also invited Jeremy Jones, a college student from Indiana, to travel with us. Jeremy is a graduate of Florida College, having studied speech, liberal arts, and ...

Home Safely By the grace of God, I have safely returned from my ninth trip to Zimbabwe. I have truly grown to love these brethren over the years and appreciate their steadfast stand for Truth. I’m happy to report that a few things are better than what I found in the country last November, but it still has a long way to go before things are restored to normal. My Travel Companion I invited Robin Bauer to accompany me on this trip. He is a native of Zimbabwe, but has been living in Cape Town, South Africa, for many years. He had been anxious to return to his homeland and to assist in Bible teaching. I’ve worked with Robin on several occasions in South Africa, so it was a double treat to work with him again and to be with him as he returned “home” for a few days. He drove from Cape Town to Johannesburg, in order to visit with some of the brethren he hadn’t seen there for a while. With the recent merger of Northwest and Delta Airlines, there is ...
