On the road - views from the Land Rover

As we drive every morning from the King's Kids house to the larger YWAM centre where the PCYM is held, we observe sights and sounds that are typical of this part of Madagascar. The roads (sometimes dirt roads, sometimes paved and sometimes with cobble stones) and the roadside shops are quite different from what I would see back in Europe. Here are a few shots taken from my vantage point in the front seat of the Land Rover. There were no traffic jams today, and so we arrived at class bright and early. Today, I finally had the feeling that my chest infection isn't getting any worse, so I'm trusting this means that I've turned the corner and that it's actually beginning to get a little better.

We also moved on to a new topic in the PCYM teaching today. We've begun to look at why the pre-teen age group (10 - 12 year olds) is a critical time for giving input based on a Biblical worldview, so that these young people enter their teenage years and move towards adulthood with their lives on a more solid godly foundation. Tomorrow, we'll come full circle and the students will be working in groups to practise their recently acquired programme development skills - by creating programmes and activities specifically designed to disciple pre-teens.
