Trip to the bush

Well we traveled to the village of Noritalia today, a remote Maasai village. We set up a projector and screen (a white sheet hung up with twine and held straight with rocks. We then played 2 videos which were followed by small group discussions and further follow up teaching from the video. We had great participation from the people as they asked questions, made comments, and read Scripture in Swahili. It went quite well we thought and we are looking forward to returning tomorrow when we will show the 3rd video, hear preaching from Isack (a local regional pastor) and worship with the Tanzanians. There will also be a healing service so pray that many people will be healed and saved.

Some of us experienced the joy of using the choo (toilet) which consisted of a hole dug in the ground surrounded by tarps to afford some privacy.

We also saw them butchering and cleaning the goats that were part of the lunch provided to those attending the seminar. We hope to have some pictures posted soon.

We are still tired, running on adrenaline, a little sleep, and lots of coffee and caffeine. I think we are still suffering from some jet lag. So pray that we would renew our strength as we wait on Him and that we would have a blessed and productive time tomorrow out in the bush.
