Jambo Jam for Kondoa

Helen raises money for our Kondoa mission project by making jams, chutneys and marmalades which are for sale on the missions table in the foyer.  If you have fruit to spare contact Helen to see if she can use it to make some of her delicious preserves!

Village Visit

We have not long returned back to base after a bone-shaking 2.75 hour journey each way to a remote village.  There was no particular major service like the confirmation service we had attended on Monday. 

Monday's visit to Kachini was amazing in the overwhelming welcome we got.  Apparently, the Bishop had never visited this church before and so the welcome was ecstatic to say the least.  We were embraced like long-lost cousins and the people of the other religion had turned out also to see what was going on.  We had an amazing number of people healed of painful conditions and I prayed for a woman who was infertile and depressed because of it.  She was the third wife and barren, so life did not seem worth living to her.  The smile on her face after the prayer made the journey worthwhile.  Both religions were represented in the people who were healed, so we are very thrilled.

Tuesday was a rest day - we went  to see the Kondoa Spring.  Now today we visited Kikore and there were about 25 people who attended a simple service of prayer and preaching.  THey were very pleased that we had brought 8 Swahili Bibles.

I am hoping that the increased activity in my large intestine does not herald a night sitting above porcelain.  :-/
