CONSECRATED LIFE
The painting on the front cover entitled “The disciples of Emmaus” reflects our journey of hope. Jesus not only walks with us, but gives us the wisdom to perform our ministries and opens our eyes to see Him in the people that we are serving.
MISSION IS FUN
WELCOMING FRIGHT!
BY FR KONRAD NEFZGER MCCJ | FROM “WALKING WITH GOD’S PEOPLE”
MARIA TROST was considered the starting place for many missionaries trying to learn the Zulu language. A generator provided light and also served as the alarm clock. At five in the morning, the light came on, and it was time to get up. One of the newcomers did exactly that. He woke up, and started to put on his slippers. He took them off even faster. Something had moved into one slipper, and it could only be a snake; after all, Africa and snakes went together in the mind of the uninitiated. With the necessary caution father conducted a careful inspection. Surprise, surprise: a little frog jumped out, most probably just as frightened, and greeted father: Welcome to Maria Trost
