Seattle

Tonight I am in Seattle, looking forward to being with Xavier as he receives his doctorate degree from Bakke University tomorrow.  It is a privilege to be here with him and to present him with a congratulatory letter from the mission President.  Xavier is currently a professor and the Registrar for the OMS Seminary in Maputo.  He has an impressive resume that includes heading up the Bible League in Maputo, overseeing church planting work in a variety of countries in Africa for the Into-Africa Project, church planting work in Mozambique, church planting work with OMS seminary students, and initiating special classes on the Theology of Work and Alleviation of Poverty.

Ann and I have always been very fond of Xavier and his wife Marta and it is a privilege to be here in Seattle with him.

I enjoyed meeting some of his fellow students from various countries in Africa.  They all said the same thing, it has been a long and challenging road but they are all very happy to have finished well.  These are a few photos from our day today.

I look forward to seeing what how God will use him to change Mozambique for Christ.   He is an amazing fellow for whom I have a great deal of respect.

Much love.

Dave
