Well, the thermometer still says 22C but that feels chilly to me! The mangoes are falling off the trees faster than we can eat

Leading Beyond the (Blizzard) Harmattan.
The article link below has been sent to me by multiple people over the past few weeks. You should take a read! https://journal.praxislabs.org/leading-beyond-the-blizzard-why-every-organization-is-now-a-startup-b7f32fb278ff “Winter is coming” was going to be my catchy pop culture title for the thoughts below, but actually as leaders, we need to recognise that it has already came, is here and we are still trying to learn what this winter even is.

Easter Sunday in Lockdown in Nigeria
We are stuck on our compound locked down in Nigeria doing all we can to avoid the Covid-19 causing coronavirus.

Robinson Ministry Update – 27th October 2019
Good morning all! With the parts that Tim and I play in the Bible Translation movement we often don’t get to experience first hand the impact that translated scripture can have on people.
