God's Mission Ventures : Life with pictures!

So many things have happened since my last update I don't even know where to start! I'll try to start at the beginning, since that's usually the best place to start.

Pastor Frank & Valerie Ricks have joined 2CBN! They retired and came to Africa a few years ago and most recently have been working with a radio station in Baraton at the University of Eastern Africa. But after seeing the need at 2CBN they felt impressed to come and help. Frank is going to be taking over as director! That will allow Daniel to leave and go to Cameroon (He was planning on going there in March!) and then back to the States. This is what we've been praying for and God answered the prayers, in His time.

In my last post I talked about doing playlists, and how Daniel asked me to perfect it and then pass it on to someone else. Well I think I perfected it as much as possible without changing the work flow. When I first started making playlists, it took me about 4-5 hours for each one. But now I can do a weekday playlist in less than 30 minutes. And my record is 21 minutes! (That was for a weekend one which is easier) If that's not improvement I don't know what is! God is good! So now I'm training a few other people to do the playlists, and moving on to bigger things! I'm doing more Content Management right now. That is basically taking programs that we have permission to air, making sure they are converted to the right format, and adding an intro if needed. Certainly much more what I like to do. But I'm happy to do playlists if we get in a pinch. After all, I can do a week of playlists in a day! :)

Now for the pictures. I haven't been able to take as many pictures as I'd like, because I have to be careful where I take my camera out. But this week we went to see some property that has been donated to build a studio on. So I was able to take some pictures. :)

Any volunteers? That's one guy pulling and one or 2 pushing from behind.

This is a Matatu! Not the best picture but at least you know what it looks like. Its a 14 seater, that means 14 passengers plus driver and conductor!!
