In My House

In my house there are three people from Africa who have come to study UrbanPromise with us interns.  Malason Kachipanda (“catch-ee-panda”) and Doreen Kaphalanya (“Kah-puh-lawn-ya”) are from Malawi.  Before coming to Camden the two earned their degrees at the same African bible college.  They actually knew each other before traveling to the U.S.  Malason grew up as a pastor’s son in a Presbyterian church and he is well versed in bible knowledge.  Doreen’s path to learning about Jesus was very different.  She found her way to Him through music.  She now loves hearing and singing songs about the gospel story and regularly reads about the Christian faith.  Charity Alinda comes from Uganda and he is very fluent in English.  He grew up speaking both Ugandan and English.  He is the top assistant in our UrbanPromise International department, and he is very good at his work.  No matter how hectic things get in our ministry, Charity is always at peace in any situation.  He also has a lot of joy and finds something to laugh about every day. It is very fun to learn about each one of these people and their cultures.
