The Tale of Two Countries

It has been nearly a month since I have said a hard goodbye to Don.  We have declared grace during this season of being apart.  I have been in the USA dealing with some challenges with my mother.  I had gotten reports from several people, that she needed help.  I have managed to create an organized filing system for all of her important stuff...whew! Please pray for the impartation of Divine wisdom, as I pray about the next steps.

Don continues with the busy schedule in Tanzania.  There was a crusade in Kishapu, as well as a ministry trip to Bukene.  The photo is a drawing outside of a school in Bukene. 

From Don:

"We just returned from a leadership seminar that we did in the Nzega region.  Gerald Dome, a former graduate, gathered 130 leaders together for the 4 day seminar.  Paul Troquille, Reggie Moffet, and I taught 19 different sessions on a variety of topics.  I focused on Intimacy and Worship.  The Holy Spirit showed up!  We had a great time and it was an awesome time of equipping.  Immanuel Nkongi did a whole lot of translating and Ronnan Moffet took loads of great photos. 

On the last day, 1 of the former students gave Paul a chicken, which we couldn't refuse, and at the same time, couldn't bring it back to Arusha.  An old woman refused to take the chicken as a gift and a little later we attempted to give it to an old man.  (I think they thought we were up to something, so they were afraid to take the chicken.)

We finally found a very poor young couple that were very happy to take the free chicken!!!

We are leaving to go to the next crusade tomorrow morning, to Dongobesh.

In Christ,

Don"

Don said that had to go into the bowls of the earth to fix something in the water tank...Really love his faithful heart of service.

This was what the water looks like when our water tank is empty.

Aurora popped by Arusha for one day.  Don got to see her, before He and the team left for Dongobesh.

Mary's Little Lambs graduation from form 4

I wish I could have been there to see them.  I know I would have cried....I did Skype them and let them know that I miss them.  They still have to take the big test to determine if they go on to form 5 or not.  Pray for Lillian, Amani, Samweli, and Caleb.

The Lord reminded me that we are never to let our present circumstances keep us from pressing into the fullness of His promises.  What He promised is more real than what we see!!!

  Romans 4:19-21 is a good example of this.  Abraham didn't let go of the promise of God, even when it seemed impossible.  He was fully convinced that what God promised, He was able to bring to pass!
