The African meaning of safari is “journey.” We are planning a trip this next weekend “up country” to the University Hospital in Kibuye, about 50 miles (3 hours) from the main campus. The Nursing Administrator at Kibuye is one of Darlene’s graduate students, and would like her to consult on both the administration of the hospital and the Nursing care of patients (the average patient census is about 100). I will be going along for the adventure (although I have to be ready to preach on a moment’s notice).
The following weekend we have been invited by our friends Randy and Alice Matthewson to visit the Free Methodist hospital, nurse training institute, and church at Nundu in the Democratic Republic of Congo. That’s a 6-8 hour journey across the border and south along Lake Tanganika. We did this same trip last year into the Congo, and it was indeed a safari! Randy and Alice also want us to see the land site of a future Christian University in the Congo, another three hours south of Nundu. So we are looking forward to quite a weekend, our last in Africa this winter.
