We had an amazing first day on the mountain at the orphanage and in the villages where we met many wonderful children and amazing people called to love and care for them.
We were welcomed into the small home made of sticks and mud of a woman who was severely injured a terrible bus accident that made international news last year. All 10 of us, along with Munisi and Mr. Marroso squeezed into the little home and sat on her rough wooden bed and a small bench. In the presence of this family, we committed to raising the $3,500 necessary to build them a small, dry, safe home through the houses for health ministry.
Pastor Paul prayed for this woman and her family and we departed with full hearts. Tomorrow we head back up the mountain for worship and Pastor Paul Oman will bring his Drawn To The Word artistic ministry and Lydia and Adam will offer a song during the service as well.
We will do our best to post pictures and updates to Facebook and Instagram and whatever else our young people are into social media wise. Sorry that I will not be able to blog as usual but we will continue to appreciate your prayers for a safe and meaningful experience here in Tanzania! One thing is for sure after the first day, I have got one fantastic group this year!
