His kingdom will have no end! To get to know a bit more about Justus Jonas, who was another Lutheran Reformer read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justus_Jonas

Pyramids by the Nile. Egypt? No, Sudan.

Posted on October 8, 2012 by Wilhelm Weber

Africa is a wonderful place. Especially in such far-off places like Sudan.
