Greetings in the Lord from Kilimanjaro!

Team Tanzania has had a strong start to our work project nearly completing a long waterline trench from the new borehole to the fields below. We hope to lay the water lines early next week. On Saturday, the team enjoyed their first evangelism with the local children who came for the weekly SS (Sunday School) program. They shared a song, drama, and puppets. They then went outside to played games with the children. Afterwards, the team played volleyball with the TMI Bible school students and staff. On Sunday, we visited a local church in Bomangombe. We were there for almost 4 hours but the team had an awesome time participating in the worship and sharing their presentation. Kate did a great job sharing her testimony. Afterwards, we stopped at a local grocery store and eventually made it back to base. Kilimanjaro finally came out of the clouds today and the team had fun capturing this majestic mountain on their cameras. We also held our 1st official memory verse quiz this evening. It was fun to see how quickly so many have improved!

Here's a word from some of the team members:

Hello everybody! This is Josiah. Work has been going very well. We have been digging a trench for waterlines so a field can be irrigated. It is pretty hard work, but I have found it enjoyable. On Saturday, we worked for the first half of the day, then, we led a Sunday School, afterward, we played with the kids... that was really fun. On Sunday, we got dressed up and went to church. We watched an engagement ceremony (between services). We then did our presentation for the church. At the base, we had a beautiful view of Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Hi, my name is Bea, I am on the Tanzania team and I wanted to tell you guys what we have been up to... The last couple of days, we have been digging for a water pipe. Yesterday, we did a presentation for the Sunday School kids that came in and it was so much fun. I have been learning a lot and I have been growing closer to God. I learned to trust in God even in hard times. I love Tanzania and the people here are so sweet. I hope you guys have an awesome day. Hi mom and dad! Love Bea
