Oh, say, can you survey?

One of John's central concerns in considering our move to Africa was his ability to make a unique, truly beneficial contribution to the small team here. So we have been thrilled to find that God knew exactly how John would fit, and it would be rewarding for everyone involved.

A civil engineer--and the sole surveyor for the eMi East Africa office--is headed back to Canada with his family at the end of this year. So John's been selected as his surveying replacement! His first project has been surveying the soccer pitch for the ongoing project of the African Children's Choir campus. (Though to be truthful, the surveying equipment is giving the guys some headaches right now.) We're excited that this is one more way that John can, uh, pitch in. (Sorry. Had to.)
