Before we left, Sandy off-handedly mentioned our trip to another parent--Lisa W.--at Peter's school. She said that her cousin was teaching at Addis Ababa Bible College, and she'd introduce us. Well, her cousin--Delta--has been a remarkable blessing. She connected us to this hotel, where she stays (it's right next to the college). She's given us tips and guidance. And she invited me to make a short presentation about teaching to her class. (The students are Ethiopian pastors coming to college...in the case of her class, to learn about teaching methods, style, practices, etc.)
I could go on about the social capital connectedness achievable in the church body, but I'll leave that for now. Instead, I'll just say it was great fun and a real privilege to spend half an hour with these folks. I know some of you will be particularly interested to hear that we talked about using stories in delivering content.
