After two days of travel we have safely arrived in Kigoma. We touched down just after a huge rain storm and discovered the red mud of Africa. Harold and Coni took us to dinner at a hotel overlooking the lake. We've included a picture of the zebras that live on the hotel grounds.
Today was the first day of school. Scott is learning how to work with a translator but it seemed to go very well. We are all very excited to see what God has planned over the next three weeks.
Janet went with Coni and Julie to the village of Kamala. Julie got to reconnect with old friends she had made on previous trips and Janet was introduced to some new ones. After lunch the ladies spent time preparing for the women's conferences that will take place this week and next. Tomorrow they will be prayer walking Kamala and handing out flyers for the conference. Please pray for the mamas of Kamala - that their hearts will be open to God's love and that the bondage they've been living under for so long will be broken.
Hooray, I am so glad that you arrived safely! I will be praying for your trip and your safe arrival home.

ReplyDeleteWe were just pondering the use of the words "Now it came to pass" Luke 9:28(a)-- thinking about how it indicates a plan of God's is about to commence.
ReplyDeleteLooking at your picture those words whispered into my heart....He has begun!
Love,
Chris and Karen
