Here’s Don preaching away
Dan all alone in the front
Nancy showing the kids her photos
First day is done! Lots was accomplished, our team divided into three groups. Every group went to a different church. Group one consisted of Nancy, Ann, and Eva, we all went to a small brick church on a rocky hill. There Ann preached on Gods sovereignty, and how he’s our God and he’s in control. Group two sadly was just Dan and an interpreter, but he made it work! He taught at the church in Buswela. Dan preached how God makes everything new. Last but not least group three, Cindy and Don. They were at Suwa, where Don taught on how we are the church.
Over at the brick church we got to worship in Swahili. High energy, dancing along type of songs were being sung. After the worship and preaching we were able to meet everyone, there were about 20 people. Even though there was a small amount of people many of them were kids. We really got to bond with them over the many random photos Nancy was showing them. Before we left the church, Eva had a good idea, as we had been practicing the hand motions to the song, “Fully Alive” (thanks Brooke DeWitt!) So we hooked up the music (teens seem to have all the right tech cords) and showed the kids! They all caught on pretty quick and joined us. By the time we had to go, the goodbyes were hard. We hope to see them again this week at the women’s conference held on the grounds of Mwanza Bible Institute!
