WHAT KIND OF GOOSE? Well the town is called Kagousse, and It took over nine hourse to travel the 150 miles to get there, but we made it. Robert (the academic dean), three students, myself and about half a dozen others from the South district made quite and impressions as we pulled up to the church just before sundown. This isolated town isn't used to many visitors, but we all gathered to begin pastoral training classes. This is the third center opened on the South District. There are ten Nazarene churches but only two pastors who have finished their studies. There were nine students in all, including a grandfather and grandson team. Very encouraging.
The rich red clay reminded me of North Georgia and parts of South Carolina!


Our classroom in Kagousse

We took advantage of the bright sunshine and the cool breeze and met outdoors most of the time. Pastor Robert and I took turns teaching.
