Goodbye Kaduna, Hello Banbury

I'm now back home safely in Banbury, while Rob stays in Kaduna and Lee in Gusau.

My journey back was uneventful although quite long - the dangers of travelling cross-country at night meant that I travelled to Abuja (where the airport is) on Sunday afternoon, then went on to the airport itself on Monday morning. The guest-house in Abuja is always quite fun though - chance to watch Nigerian TV and enjoy a last meal in the country.

Before leaving on Sunday Rob and I had the chance to visit a rural church where our friend Muhammed Ibrahim is the vicar. It was great to hear him preach as well as to see some baptisms and have a great lunch cooked by Muhammed's wife, Antonia. The service itself was short by Nigerian standards, coming in just under the two-hour mark. There is a great choir in this small church, and they plan to produce a CD of local choruses and songs - mostly in Hausa, but maybe with some English songs too.

Please continue to visit the blog this week, as we hope the guys who are still in Nigeria will be able to post again.
