All my posts this week were written and scheduled before I went. I am definitely finding as a result of my first trip that Africa has a growing place in my heart. How could I not love the continent on which my wife was born and raised? While I was there last time I filmed the following interview with my friend Lex Loizides. In it we discuss his recently released <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newfrontierstogether.org\/Shop\/Products\/160734\/Resources_Store\/Books\/Church\/Writing_and_Using.aspx\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">DVD on creating and using your own personal tract<\/a>. Lex is a great guy and a gifted evangelist. I encourage you to get hold of a copy, Newfrontiers resources will ship it anywhere in the world. Who knows the impact that this could have? Lex is also faithfully writing the <a href=\"http:\/\/lexloiz.wordpress.com\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Church History Blog<\/a>, headlines from which appear in the bottom of my sidebar, and I strongly commend that to you. The video was filmed with my iPhone 4. You have to be careful to get the full quality video rather than the compressed version, the easiest way is to use the cable to download video to your computer.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/21479060\">https:\/\/vimeo.com\/21479060<\/a>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As you read this I am in South Africa for the second time in six months, and also the second time in my life.
