Praise God with me for a successful trip. The two classes that I taught at Africa Theological Seminary (ATS), Elements of Greek and Exegesis, went well. My courses are in constant evolution attempting to better clarify areas where previous classes struggled. These courses were two steps forward and one step back. The changes brought more clarity, but they came at the expense of time, which is in short supply with ATS’s in-service model[1].
In addition to teaching two courses, I helped a new adjunct teacher from Houston get started at ATS. As I write, the new adjunct is teaching Church History I. Lord willing, he will be able to teach one history course a year. So far he is doing great and the initial feedback from the students is exceptionally positive. Pray for the new adjunct and Church History I.
By God’s grace, I made significant progress on some administrative issues. Lastly, I rock climbed with a dear friend. We enjoyed God’s wonderful creation, had wonderful fellowship, and climbed some great routes.
I am looking forward to a joyous reunion with my family, some rest and getting back to writing.

[1] ATS’s in-service model endeavors to keep church leaders in ministry while they become better equipped for the ministry. To this end, the classroom portion of a class is only 8 to 10 days with practical ministry assignments to supplement and reinforce the material.
