But I&#8217;m helped in my journey by an <a href=\"http:\/\/itavitaafrican.wordpress.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">outstanding companion<\/a> who homeschools our five children as well as serves the church.<\/p>\n<p>Theologically, I am a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vor.org\/truth\/1689\/1689bc00.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">confessional Baptist<\/a> who likes evangelism, churchplanting, premillennialism, Abraham Kuyper, and of course, William Carey.<\/p>\n<p>Other peculiarities include an interest in classic and enduring culture (hence the reference to Tolkien), hermeneutics, linguistics, and logic.
