I attended the Africa Society for Evangelical Theology conference. Donna nicknamed it the Greek Geeks Gathering, though not everyone there was a Greek Geek. The whole range of disciplines within theology and related fields were represented (Systematic, Biblical, and Historical Theology, New and Old Testament Studies, Anthropology, Sociology, etc.). I had fantastic interactions with some scholars on the Greek text, hence Donna\u2019s nickname.<\/p>\n

An African scholar once said: \u201cThe church in Africa was a mile long in terms of quantity, but only an inch deep in terms of quality\u201d (Adeyemo, 2006: viii). At the conference, I heard, met, and interacted with Africans who think and write at the deepest theological levels. They are moving the needle in the right direction. I was very encouraged.<\/p>\n

Donna\u2019s class started on Monday. She has 17 students, and the class is going well so far. Also on Donna\u2019s agenda for this trip is organizing and cataloging the children\u2019s books.<\/p>\n

Praise God with me for the great conference and the African scholars moving the needle in the right direction. Pray for Donna\u2019s class, the children\u2019s book project, and graduation (March 23).<\/p>\n

Grace & Peace — Paul<\/p>\n
