TANZANIA SUMMARY

I want to take the opportunity in this post to thank all of you for your donations and prayers and encouragements on my trip to Tanzania. Despite the anxiety I felt before I left, the trip was filled with peace and joy and satisfaction in teaching the students at East Africa Christian College. I was much encouraged by how God has led the leadership of the school up to this point and the great plans they have for the future of the school and for the training of Pastors and leaders for the churches in the Northeastern area of Tanzania. It was also a joy to meet four other TLI teachers as we worked together for the week. I learned a lot from Dick, whom I was teaching with, about cross cultural teaching. I was also blessed with spending a day in the Serengeti Game Reserve before I flew back to Canada. The landscape was literally aweeess soommme leading me to worship God for His marvelous creation. To see the animals in herds in their natural habitats including elephants, warthogs, topi, giraffes, hyena, water buffalo, hippos, crocodiles, lions, wildebeest, gazelle, impala, baboons, zebras, and many colorful birds was incredible.

 We also were made aware of the reality of the law of the jungle, and the reality of sin and death in the world.

 On my last day in Tanzania, I had the remainder of my lunch stolen from our truck. I piece of chicken and half a ham sandwich. Fortunately one of my teammates got a picture of the thief in action. I am posting the pictures below.

 If you recognize him/her please let me know.

Lord willing I would love to make another trip this year. Meanwhile I continue to pray for God's work in the various countries I have visited  and the people there, and through Operation World. Let me encourage you to do the same.
