This is a Maasai woman that Don met in Lake Natron.
Don joined a small team to do ministry in Loliondo. The people of Loliondo are farmers and shepherds. The majority are from the Maasai tribe. I can't wait to share more photos from the ministry outreach, when Don returns.
Don shared a message, "Jesus the Healer", on Wednesday. He said they have had such a wonderful time in Loliondo. Looking forward to getting videos and photos from the trip.
"Pastor Yohanna is in the photo with his family. He is hosting the seminar in Loliondo. He shared a testimony, that before arriving at New Life Academy of Leadership, that he prayed and a 14 year old girl was raised from the dead. He has planted 7 new churches since graduating. Praise God!
Don returns from Loliondo Saturday evening. He will only be home for 5 days, before the trip to Tarime. New Life Outreach has a ministry outreach that starts June 25.
Tarime is in the Mara Region of Tanzania. It is bordered by Kenya and Maasai Mara game reserve. The population of the entire district is recorded as 492,798, according to the 2002 Tanzania National Census.
The phrase, "Be still my soul", kept churning inside of my spirit this morning. I was reminded how important it is to quiet my thoughts, self-will, and emotions, so that I can clearly hear the voice of God that is directing my path. It is so easy to have chaotic chatter in the soul realm. So many things demand our attention and distract us from the peaceful bliss that keeps us at rest, even in the midst of difficult circumstances.
Psalm 46 in the Voice translation:
1 God is our shelter and our strength.
When troubles seem near, God is nearer, and He’s ready to help.
So why run and hide?
2 No fear, no pacing, no biting fingernails.
When the earth spins out of control, we are sure and fearless.
When mountains crumble and the waters run wild, we are sure and fearless.
3 Even in heavy winds and huge waves,
or as mountains shake, we are sure and fearless.

4 A pure stream flows—never to be cut off—
bringing joy to the city where God makes His home,
the sacred site where the Most High chooses to live.
5 The True God never sleeps and always resides in the city of joy;
He makes it unstoppable, unshakable.
When it awakes at dawn, the True God has already been at work.
6 Trouble is on the horizon for the outside nations, not long until kingdoms will fall;
God’s voice thunders and the earth shakes.
7 You know the Eternal, the Commander of heavenly armies, surrounds us and protects us;
the True God of Jacob is our shelter, close to His heart.

8 Come, gaze, fix your eyes on what the Eternal can do.
Amazing, He has worked desolation here on this battlefield, earth.
9 God can stop wars anywhere in the world.
He can make scrap of all weapons: snap bows, shatter spears,
and burn shields.
10 “Be still, be calm, see, and understand I am the True God.
I am honored among all the nations.
I am honored over all the earth.”
11 You know the Eternal, the Commander of heavenly armies, surrounds us and protects us;
