Moving on . . .

After three years of seeking a church to support us in working on HIV in Africa, the Landmark Church of Christ, Montgomery, Alabama, has accepted our proposal, and has asked us to be based in Malawi, in or near the capital city of Lilongwe. We will be moving from Redlands, California, to Montgomery the middle of June. We'll be visiting Malawi briefly this summer, leaving Montgomery June 26 and leaving Malawi July 9. We'll be holding an HIV seminar in Malawi and making preparations for language study and moving, and then will be traveling to Praetoria, the Republic of South Africa, and Mwanza, Tanzania, holding in each of those cities a two day HIV seminar for church leaders. We will close the summer's travel visiting our son and his family in northern Mozambique before returning to Montgomery on August 8. We will move to Malawi after the first of the year and begin language study in Chi-Chewa, an official language of Malawi along with English. Leaving-taking of one sort or another occupies our every minute, and has been harder than I anticipated. But more about that next post.
