One of my best Fulani friends, Hawa, just returned from a trip to Meccxa. She is now officially a Hajxa. Sorry for the “x’s”, but it helps derail people who might be looking for those words. She is Chief T’s youngest wife (of three) and she is the friend who watched the Jesus film, all the way through, with me at her side, explaining things. We have spoken frankly about Jesus’ work on the cross and the need for forgiveness, but she is happy as punch about her trip – which I was hoping would not be the case. I was kind of hoping for disillusionment about the whole pilgrimage. Please pray for God’s amazing gift to become evident to her, through dreams, words, actions, etc. She brought me an ornate, footed, silver coffee/tea cup, which will remind me of the need to pray every time I see it.
