Don and the team have been in Kishapu, since Saturday. Kishapu is a dry place, with challenges to have water. they have to dig for water. Psalm 63:1, comes to mind: " O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; My soul thirst for You; My flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water."
Please pray for the ministry in Kishapu. Don and the team are already there getting everything ready for Wednesday. He said there are some really strong winds blowing. Pray that the winds do not cause problems. Pray for Dr. Egon and Hannah Falk as they travel tomorrow.
Water is a precious commodity in Tanzania
There is a lot of hard work that goes into us having water. The photo is just one of many of those steps. Don is climbing up to the 10,000 liter water tower, located where we live and work. He is checking to make sure the water is properly pumped up to the water tank.
There is a water well about a mile away. That is where we get our water. It is a lot of work. It has to be pumped into a smaller water tank, that is brought, by truck to our compound. Then, it is pumped to a lower storage tank. Finally, pumped to the large tank in the photo.
Unplanned trip to the USA
I received news, that has me making an unplanned trip to the States. I am busy making preparations at New Life Outreach. It is lots of work to train others to do the work I have been doing for 15 years. I am making accounting tutorials, and budgets to cover the time I am not going to be here.
This is not easy. I have to take care of some very important matters. I have planned to stay for a little over 3 months. Don needs to stay in Tanzania. This will be the first time that Don and I will be apart for this long of a period of time.
God is not surprised, even though I feel a bit unprepared. It will be a stretch on our finances during this time. Pray for supernatural provision to come in, during this three month period. We will need an extra $400 a month to cover expenses during this time.
It has been a challenge to stay at peace during the storms of this season, but He is FAITHFUL! I have been holding on to words that the Spirit has spoken to my heart. This is what I felt to share:
Hold on tight to every word that God has spoken to your heart. Don't be discouraged in the crucible of time. Time only brings maturity to possess the promise in a way that gives glory to God!
"For the vision is a witness for the appointed time, a testimony to the end; it will not disappoint. If it delays, wait for it, it will surely come, it will not be late." (Habakkuk 2:3 NABRE)
I just celebrated my 51st birthday. Don brought me to Blue Heron.
I had birthday pancakes! It doesn't take much to make me happy.
