Here is a photo of the National Ecumenical Centre in Abuja which marks the end of our time here.
On the last Sunday I preached at Gwagwalada ECWA Good News (i.e. English language) church. Gwagwalada is the temporary site of the University of Abuja. I chose the little letter of 3 John with its emphasis on open hearted fellowship in the work of the Gospel. It turned out to be a lot more relevant than I might have guessed.
Gwagwalada (say it how you like - I heard several pronunciations) has its own hot and steamy microclimate but the friendship was even warmer. We parted with gifts and promises to pray for each other.
Below is a fun house seen in an eastern suburb. It reputedly belongs to a retired pilot.
As a result of a damaged tyre needing attention Michael and I left Abuja in a friend’s Mercedes about 5 hours late at around 11.30. Instead of a relaxed day driving and photographed we dashed across country at 120-140 kph.
