Greetings to all my family and friends in both Canada and the US and anywhere else people might be following my blog.

Indeed, it has been a long time since I have posted to my blog.  Well, after 8 months home in Canada, I am now back on the African continent.  I am currently in Nairobi, Kenya where I have attended an APTEA (Association for Pentecostal Theological Education in Africa)  Conference with educators from all over the continent in attendance.  It was a great time of sharing experiences and learning from one another in the process.

The Principal, the AQcademic Dean and the Dean of Students from our college, Paqn Africa Christian College in Harare, Zimbabwe were attendees of the conference as well.  Am attaching here a picture of the four of us.  And no, I am not taller than the rest of them.  Just for laughs, I stood up on a railing behind them.

I believe I shared previously that PACC Academic Dean and I had written a text book on Writing qnd Research.  The book was presented to each of the educators in attendance...about 250 persons.  Both of us also received Level Three Teacher Training Certification.  Below is a picture of the two of us.  Publishing our book was part of the process towards certification and although the process was long (three years from start to finish) it was very rewarding to have worked as a team on this project..    

I have been invited to attend a three day Gradute School Seminar following the APTEA Conference.  It is now, as I write, the second day of that seminar and always there is so much to learn as we share together.  There are representatives from 14 countries in attendance.

Timorrow I will be lesving Kenya and traveling on to Harare where I will spend the next month teaching intensive block course to students at our college there.  I will also then teach 'Teacher Training' to a group of leaders from the Assemblies of God.  Arrangements for this have been/ are being made through AoG missionaries from the US who live in Zimbabwe.  

Will post pictures with my next blog, but just wanted to send a brief up-date and share my excitement in being back on the African Continent.

I am excited to join, once again, with family (adopted) and friends and colleagues in Harare.

Will post this brief blog just now and hopefully be in touch again soon.

Love and blessings to all.
