We traveled by car and van from Mbaagi to Mkar, the "headquarters" of the Tiv and the NKST church. It's very hot here (~100 degrees F); they say that we are experiencing weather that is characteristic for March. On the way we had a chance to stop by the side of the road at a typical Tiv house compound-4 or 5 small round huts- and rest in the shade of a mango tree. A lovely way to spend some time in Nigeria.
We arrived in Mkar and will be spending the night in a guesthouse on the Mkar University campus. We each have our own room--quite a luxury! Tomorrow we will be breaking up into groups of 2 to visit various programs associated with the church and the University.
We've been here only 4 days and so much has happened. Our African hosts are wonderful and they are keeping us busy.

Your posts are great - make me want to be with you. I finally made it to THE SHACK - and back, and in light of that my prayer for each of you is a "shack-like" experience! Father, Son, and Spirit at the center of everything, no expectations - just dependence on Him and child-like wonder in everything God is showing and teaching you.
