Yes, it really feels that cold…well at least the showers do. We just got to the modest sized town of Iringa in Tanzania yesterday after traveling 40+ hours on African buses….would not really recommend it. We definitely got to see some beautiful scenery and some wild animals along the way (giraffes, zebras, and wildebeests). I am so thankful to not be on a bus right now and it is really refreshing to be in a town that is 5000ft above sea level (think of Denver, Colorado), as these are the winter months in Eastern Africa now. Who would think that Africa would be so cold? I really do love where we are this month and am looking forward to doing ministry in this community.
As you can see, Iringa is a beautiful town. We are truly blessed once again this month and as added bonus, we will also be working with another team while we are here which is really exciting. We haven’t worked with another team since we were in the bamboo jungles of Malaysia and thankfully we will not be doing that this month. We will get the opportunity to travel to different areas around Iringa to do some evangelism and preaching while we are their. Along with evangelism, we will also get the opportunity to go to some local tribes and preach their…really looking forward to everything that in store for us this month.
I am also really excited for my spiritual life this month. God has been growing me so much during this time in Africa and has really called me to be so much more intentional with Him this month. To worship Him out loud and not care what others think of my “joyful noise” singing voice. To have Him be every aspect of my day and just become more madly in love with my Creator. I am looking forward to the times of growth this month. Continue to pray for God to grow me as well for these things below for the month.
Prayer requests for the month:
- Safety as we travel through Tanzania this month
- That my life would continue to become more God focused in every area
- That I would have a much more generous heart with my finances and resources
- To rely on God for finances after the World Race
