Picture taken by Rod Meadth, the high school principal at QCS, from his windows on the Delmas Road and Delmas 75 street corner, five minutes from where we live. We woke up this morning, December 8, to the sound of riots. Since this morning, we can hear heavy weapons being shot. It sounds like we…

The rainy season has come and it rains hard. We had ten special days of prayer called: Ten Days to Pentecost. Some received…
