Are there giant maps of the Mediterranean Rim available?
Is it possible to professionally produce such a map?
How could Rwandans reproduce this map or will they be dependent on me?
In a discussion with my friend, Neal Windham, we came to the conclusion it might be possible to project the map onto tarps and then trace it. Tarps are available in Rwanda. RC has a projector in Rwanda that Theophile can use. If the Rwandan church leaders create the map, they are also learning the geography (similar to the Bible college assignment for students to create Bible maps).
So, yesterday we began the experiment. We were able to trace a reasonable map on a tarp (9' 8" x 12' 5"). Next trip we will plan to trace one map covering four tarps (24' 10" x 19' 4"). We can velcro the edge of the tarps together and then velcro on any cities, towns, rivers, etc. in any language. We will be able to walk this map outside or in a church building.
Thank you Jesus!
Excited in Rwanda,
Frank
