Back (by Thom)

I'm back. I spent three days this week in some rather remote places in Mali working on a video project for the Malian national church. I visited Djenne and Masina - two places very diverse in their geography, culture, history, and ethnicity. However, both areas are staunchly Muslim and in both areas the church here in Mali has sent their own missionaries. The work has been, and continues to be, very difficult. I'm looking forward to sharing more about this trip and the work we did over the next few days. Now, though, I'm really, really tired and after sleeping on hard ground for a couple of days I'm really looking forward to my own bed!
