Update August 5

Greetings

I have received more information from our TEAM in Irente. The power was out this morning when they went to blog us, and the internet café was closed when they returned this evening so I am your blog go-between. Their trip was long but a good one. They arrived in Tanzania and were met by Pastor Joyce and several drivers, and they went to a hotel in Moshi. The next morning, they drove 4 hours to Lushoto where they met Bishop Stephen Munga and his wife Pastor Anneth Munga, and brought greetings in Swahili from LCR. They also met with a women’s group from your sister congregation in Irente. And tomorrow they are planning to meet the youth of the parish.

They have been met with much love and care and have been overwhelmed by the hospitality of those whom they encounter. They will be able to write a more in-depth update when they can coordinate their schedules to be near the internet café when the electric is on.

Peace
Tim Taylor

  1. Thanks for update. Very glad to hear that things are going well! Praise for God's blessings!
    Look at GoogleEarth (a free download program). Type in Lushoto, Tanzania and look at photos of where our LCR group is.

  2. Wow... neat satellite images. I hope the group's Swahili lessons have come in useful. Chuck, so lame that the only thing you memorized is "do you speak English". LOL! Be safe! Be well. Peace. Frank
