Greetings to each of you. We just wanted to send some updated prayer points as we transition from summer to fall. Thank you again for praying.
1. We have received the galley proof of Volume Two in the series Africa’s Burning Bush: A Survey of Presbyterian Mission History in Africa. Most contributors have now read through their typeset material, and we have also been busy editing. We anticipate returning this volume to the publisher, Barnabas Academic, Wellington, SA, by the end of the week. Thank you for all who continue to pray so faithfully for this project. The publication date is still projected to be November 2025. Distribution will begin shortly after that. As with Volume One, if anyone wants to sponsor copies of Volume Two – costs HH about $100 (1 book + shipping) – to distribute to colleges/seminaries in Africa, please designate accordingly.
2. The summer marking for a distance course is now completed! This was for a World Missions course (ARTS, Kampala, Uganda). New courses have also been developed for 2026, and the syllabi have now been approved.
3. For those who have been praying over the years, Dr Whytock’s fall teaching schedule will look familiar, yet also a bit new:
- Public lectures here in Charlottetown on Maritime Presbyterianism
- Speaking at The Presbyterian Scholars’ Conference, Wheaton, Illinois on American Presbyterian Missions in Africa
- Teaching an Ancient Church History Course at Gillespie Divinity, Woodstock, Ontario
- Teaching Westminster Confession and Catechisms, African Church History, Calvin’s Institutes at Africa Reformation Seminary (ARTS), Kampala, Uganda.
Each of the four courses listed above requires 30 lecture hours per course. Please remember the preparations required by both the lecturer and the students prior to entering these intensive block courses.
In Christ,
HH Team
