Carol and I appreciate your prayers and support. Carol’s and my first ministry trip to Uganda was in 2006 and my first ministry trip to the Moyo area was in 2007. Our permanent move to RAU in Fodia/Afoji was in 2013. We are so grateful to those who have stood with us from the beginning and those who have joined us along the way. Thank you! The Lord has been providentially leading and guiding. It is easier to see this when looking back.

That is the case currently and I want to share these “providential moments” with you so you, too, can rejoice with us and pray together with us.

Providence is “God’s purposeful sovereignty.” Its extent reaches down to the flight of electrons, up to the movements of galaxies, and into the heart of man. Its nature is wise and just and good. And its goal is the Christ-exalting glorification of God through the gladness of a redeemed people in a new world.”
John Piper in his book “Providence“

Rosa had already served at Kamakwie Wesleyan Hospital. After our marriage we returned to Kamakwie–she to the hospital, I to be a teacher at Kamakwie Secondary School. Our house was in the middle of a mango grove. I’ve loved mangoes ever since. We also love groundnut stew and plassas (for those of you who know what that is!). Next God led us to the academic halls of Union Theological Seminary in Virginia where I was privileged to write my Ph.D. dissertation on the Melchizedek Christology of Hebrews chapter seven. If “mangoes” represents Africa, then “Melchizedek” represents academia. “Melchizedek” represents my interest in the Bible, in the book of Hebrews, in the contemporary relevance of the Old Testament, and in the faithful interpretation of the Bible across cultures. This blog, then, is a place to discuss these issues–the unity of the
