Rev. Dr. Milly Maturu Erema arrived in Michigan on September 28 to stay with Lois Tverberg once again, and they immediately began working to prepare for the “Reading the Bible as an Insider” seminar they would be leading in Williston, Florida on October 12th.
There they shared insights from Milly’s “insider” view of Bible, because she grew up in a tribal culture not unlike that of the Ancient Near East. (More about the seminar at this link.)
Because Hurricane Milton was expected to barrel through Florida just a couple days before the seminar, it was a nail-biting week as they were preparing. But Williston is in the rural north, it was not much affected so they were able to travel and speak. The town didn’t even cancel school!
Do you wish you could have attended the seminar? You are in luck, because they will be sharing much of their seminar again by zoom on Tuesday, October 22 at 8-9:30 PM Eastern US time.
Only 100 can participate, so sign up soon!

We ended our seminar by sharing the remarkable story of Kingsway Christian High School. (The video is a bit low res but the sound is fine.)
Florida – Like Uganda, but very Different
Milly enjoyed her first visit to Florida because its tropical climate felt like home. But instead of finding people planting small gardens with crops like peanuts and hand-rearing a few cows for their families, she was amazed to see industrial peanut fields and enormous cattle ranches, vast estates managed through mechanization. It was quite a culture shock.
