• Africa – Day 6

    Oct 19 – 10p – hotel in Ziguinchor, Senegal. Another amazing day 🙂 We had our last 2 services with the conference this morning, after hearing the amazing testimony of one of the pastors (and national leader of Foursquare in Guinea-Bissau).  More on that on another day, I’m really tired…
