the end of all exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And to know the place for the first time

Arrival/Departure #2, Douala, Cameroon
Just in case you didn’t believe that I ever made it to and out of Cameroon somewhat as planned, here are a few pics. They include my good Cameroonian friend Aboseh Ngwana, my sis Karen, bro Bill, and mom. There's also a shot of Mt. Cameroon from the cabin of a Virgin Nigeria flight from Douala to Lagos. I also stumbled upon a Presbyterian church in Lome, Togo, where I am now, after passing through Nigeria and Benin. Next stop, Ghana.
After an exciting couple of decades doing marketing and advertising in the pharmaceuticals industry, I heeded a calling to attend Princeton Theological Seminary and professional ministry. Through a visionary fellowship for recently ordained M.Div. graduates established by the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church (MAPC) in New York City, I will be serving in Zambia for a year. I am working with an ecumenical partner organization that brings theological education to those who otherwise would be unlikely to receive it. Following that, I'll spend some months traveling throughout the developing world (global South) before returning to NYC to serve at MAPC. This “Global Ministry Fellowship” testifies to MAPC’s understanding of its role in helping fulfill God’s mission in the world. For more information about the fellowship and MAPC please access the church’s website at www.mapc.com. I am grateful to God and to MAPC for this fabulous opportunity.
