Happy new year! After a fairly restful start to 2021 for us, and a wee bit later than planned, here is our first podcast episode of the year. We're embarking on a short series exploring the differences between 'hot climate' and 'cold climate' cultures. These are pretty fascinating, and even after 11 years in a 'hot' context, we're still learning so much.
Thank you for all your show feedback! In response to this, we are trying to keep the episodes a little bit leaner and meaner; this one clocks in at a relatively nippy 21 minutes.
As usual, to accompany the episode, here are a few recent photos, and some prayer requests (below).

| We got away for a few days between Christmas and new year. Sam and Amanda contemplated life over a bag of goldfish crackers in this stunning fern forest. As one does. |

| Samaipata -- geddit! |

| It's been exciting to relaunch the men's Bible study over the last month. We are studying J.I. Packer's 'Knowing God' together. |
