Sharing God's Love in Tanzania

Friday, we did some work around the base; more painting and drywall installation. Your children are hard workers. Each day they have worked, they have accomplished all of the tasks that are put before them. It really is fun to see them encourage one another and work hard as a team.

Saturday the team took a bus about 2 ½ hours away to a newer Rescue Unit. There were not as many children there and the interaction was different. The team felt discouraged. They felt like they had failed somehow. We encouraged them to keep working hard and doing their best. Not everyone responds the way we would like, but our call is to serve the Lord and bring glory to Him and that is exactly what they have done.

Sunday, we visited a church in Moshi, about an hour away. Mr. Russell gave the message, and the team did a thirty-minute presentation. They enjoyed this and the BMW students who are here at the base attended with us. It was a fun time of fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ in Tanzania. Afterwards, we got to stop at a convenience store and buy some snacks to enjoy. When we arrived back at the base, the clouds had cleared, and we got our first glimpse of Mt. Kilimanjaro. It was amazing! Our day was spent doing our verse reviews (all of the verses we have learned so far which is 21), writing letters home, our first office Bible Quiz, and then some time just to play games and enjoy one another's company.

This week is another mixed with work and evangelism projects. We appreciate the prayers and miss you all!

Acelyn W. Tanzania is such a beautiful country. The people are so nice! They all wave as we go by on the bus. Air conditioning and lights are a luxury, but the temperature here is so nice that you don't need it. Loving this experience. God is so good!
