It seems fitting to start by posting about one of the first missionary bloggers to hit the web.  

Stephen Davies has been blogging as "Voice in the Desert" from Burkina Faso since 2001.  One of his recent posts will give you an idea why he's not only a veteran blogger, but a popular one.  Steve won Africa Geographic magazine¡Çs Travel Writer of the Year 2003 award, and is still using powerful words to describe life in Burkina Faso, West Africa.

Take a couple of minutes to read "Peace only" from August 21, 2005.  We're on our way to the market with Steve, stopping to talk with people along the way.  The conversation is powerful.  I especially enjoy Steve's inclusion of proverbs.  The title of this entry is a Fulani proverb - Ko jemma boni fuu, weetu means Even if the night is bad, morning will come.

Read other proverbs in a July post Fulfulde Sweet-talk.
