Welcome to "Through a Glass Darkly" - my blog about my service trip to Malawi, Africa.

I left Canada on December 30th for Blantyre, Malawi, AFRICA. I worked with Friends of Malawi Fellowship (FOMF), the organization headed by my aunt Phyllis Labrentz. I taught English language and literature, helping secondary high school students learn to read and write English well enough to pass the government exams.
During that time I was also kept busy teaching guitar, singing, and assisting my aunt.
I left Malawi on July 19th and returned to Canada on July 20th.

(VIDEO SET #4) KING'S VICTORY CHURCH (LIKHUBULA) SINGS

Song services were different than what I was used to.
People chose (or just started) a favourite hymn: from the men's side of the church, the women's side, then  from the "youth."
 
Then they did the same for choruses.

 
 
Singing a Hymn
Here, "youth" is anyone from a young child to a 30-year old.
Married? Have kids already? You're still a youth.
Stewart's the guy in the white suit. He's going to Bible college now.
 
 
 
Mary Banda Leads a Hymn
(That's her little boy behind her.)
 
 
The Women Lead a Chorus
Yes I know, this isn't a woman!
This little guy is the church administrator's son. He's got a GREAT sense of rhythm :)
 
 
The Men Lead a Chorus
This is the church administrator--and also the KVA principal.
