The "slow side" of the Washing Stream |
The Baptist Church in Ihiagwa |
This gentleman was selling souvenirs at the airport. He showed me a really cool traditional African horn. I even played it a bit. Unfortunately, since it was made of ivory, it wasn't for sale. |
A boy at the orphanage in Owerri. Last year our church sponsored a well for the orphanage. They now have fresh water they don't have to walk to get! |
I took over 1200 pictures while in Africa. This is one of many I don't even remember taking. But, I'm glad I did. |
The "fast side" of the washing stream. We were told there are monkeys living in the trees along the stream, though we didn't get a chance to see them. (extra credit if you can spot the naked guy!) |

The trumpet, one of my handmade flutes and the travel guitar that stayed in Africa |
This child was brought to the first clinic with a slight fever. James was asked to help him. Not being a doctor, he knelt with the boy and prayed over him. This little boy wandered into the bush (forest) and was lost for months when he was just a crawling infant. When he finally returned to his village months later he was walking and in perfect health! |
One of the revival nights with my little travel guitar! |
Me with some of the local kids from the village |
The first day at the clinic working in the pharmacy. No lights, no fan, no air conditioning, no open window.... |
A food stand in a local village with dried fish, casava and yams. |
Me and Dusty at the Seminary with one of the classes. They insisted on taking separate pictures with each class. |
Leaving our hotel. And yes, that is razor wire on the gate. The same razor wire that circled the compound atop 10 foot walls. |
Another shot of the orphanage in Owerri. |
Kids from the orphanage |
I would have taken any one of these kids home |
The computer lab at the Baptist High School. They'd work a lot better with a constant supply of electricity. |
....and we complain about the condition of our schools. |
