SA News

Philadelphia has cooled off a bit - thunder and lightening did the trick last evening! Down below mid 90's. First official "SA News" went out yesterday to a captive audience of 110! Not bad!
Stay safe and well -

We're HERE!

Well,

We are HERE!! Safe, uneventful flight... everyone raving about how fine South African airlines is. Joburg had 4 inches of snow yesterday (first time it's snowed in several decades!) BUT, all gone by our arrival.

Everyone is in great spirits, surprisingly coherent... our first group meal, a great exploration of S. African food (especially desserts).... and, happily, all remembered our sung blessing, Amen Siakadumisa! Yippee!

I suspect we'll all sleep very well tonight.... tomorrow we have a city tour of Joburg, JB has a radio interview to push Saturday's concert, and we have a choral workshop (IN ZULU) in the afternoon...

I'll keep this short.... 'cause, we're just a bit jet lagged... but, everyone is thinking of all of you back home and hoping that you keep us in your prayers as well!!Much love from S. Africa... more to come.

Tomorrow we go!!

Well, now we're 24 hours away from departing. So exciting. I hope all will check this blog often. We plan to add photos and various narratives throughout this journey. We also invite and encourage your prayers for a safe and spirit-filled tour.

KNYSNA CONCERT

Oyster English bigoysters, originally uploaded by bmpcsouthafrica.

12 days left, everyone!

The Knysna concert, which is part of the Oyster Festival, is being widely publicized throughout the Garden Route, and is actually the first event of the festival!

I just sent over this poster for them to hang in store windows, hotels, etc, so be on the lookout in Knysna!

I can't wait to share a Windhoek and a dozen on the half-shell with you all in this unbelievably beautiful town. See you all SOON!
