Sand in My Shoes

When Linda Lubbe is chosen as the new rector of Modimolle, she finds herself ministering to some of the least evangelised peoples of Southern Africa. Her home church, once run by a Catholic priest, brings together Anglicans, Methodists and Presbyterians and operates alongside Dutch Reformed, Afrikaans and charismatic communities. Language creates another challenge, particularly when sePedi is not spoken. A friend reassures her that if she can read from the Prayer Book, she will be fine—and she is.
