Visit to the Maranata Bible Institute, 23-27 April
After a period of terrific battles involving a very unpleasant court case, Maranata is emerging into a sunny period. This visit was my happiest and best for some time, and was the first of a new pattern: two visits per year, one in each semester, each time with third year students. This group is a good one - a wide range of church backgrounds, but with very cohesive friendship between them, and a good level of intelligent interraction in the classroom. A great week.

The third year group - sadly missing João Victor - doctor's appointment.
Classroom photo of entire group.
I had never noticed the cactus by the washing line before, although it certainly didn't grow up overnight.
Interesting being at Maranata in late April - different butterflies and spiders in the Autumn.
