My personal MISSION JOURNAL - Day 2 (TANZANIA)

June 11, 2011

Today we traveled about two hours by car – with a brief crossing by barge of the Malagase River – from Kigoma to Karago. I preached on “Inspiration – Jesus never changes.” Many were blessed; 8 people prayed to accept Christ or rededicate. Kids like to stare at us and sometimes shout, “Wazungu!” (White people!) Ate lunch in a mud hut. Tomorrow we preach in Karago again; I’ll share the Sunday AM message.

I miss home and family terribly. I think it’s more acute than normal because this trip has been exceptionally demanding as far as traveling conditions.

Yesterday, today, and again tomorrow we minister among the Congolese refugees at Nyarugusu Camp. Around 500 have been gathering for the crusade and leadership meetings. It’s provided me a great opportunity to brush up on my French. Today, a professional chef exiled from Congo prepared our food – c’etait tres riche! Banana bread with cinammon – some of the best I’ve ever had. So far I’ve seen no big game animals at all. I really hope to before I go.
