This morning we attended church at the early service at St. Andrew’s Cathedral (at 6:30 AM) and then again at Mwilamvya Church just on the outskirts of Kasulu. (Say Mwilamvya 10 times fast!) Mwilamvya Church is a relatively new church plant. They started back in July by meeting underneath a group of trees. Now the Church is over 200 strong and growing. It was a fabulous time of worship together. Shaw gave the sermon with Daudi acting at interpreter. Cathy and I sang the two songs that we mentioned in yesterday’s post and got everyone singing with us on the choruses. I really like doing that when I have the chance to sing here. Getting the people singing and praising God along with us is a must for me. And wow, did they sing! The church had over 200 in attendance today.
Afterwards we went back to the compound rest. It was a pretty early morning for us. A short while ago, we went for a short hike with Alastair and Helen. It was nice to get out into the countryside for a bit. It’s a beautiful country, but we spend most of our time in the cities, towns and villages, so we don’t get to experience the nature around here that often.
So far, it’s been a great trip, and somewhat of a vacation up to now. Tomorrow I’m looking forward to getting down to business and putting in a good long work day (how American of me). But with only one week to complete all the work left, I want to do what I can to move things along. I’m just trusting the Lord that all the parts and pieces will fit together and everything we brought with us will work as designed. Please continue to pray for us as we work on the computers and also pray for Shaw as he talks through his plans for on-line education for the Bible College with Daudi, Helen and Bishop Makaya.
Karibu sana for all of your prayer support.
