We finished up our
ministry time in Tanzania a few days ago, and we are currently in Nairobi for
squad debrief. On Friday we will be flying to Thailand. Our month in Tanzania
really seemed to go by fast. We had the opportunity to do several different types
of ministry. My favorite thing this month was the computer classes we taught.
It was a lot of fun, and I was just overwhelmed with their gratitude. They were
so thankful that we taught them things as simple as turning the computer on,
opening Word, and saving a document. For the most part, they simply have had no
opportunity to use a computer. It was great to help teach some basic skills.

Kids at the Church
Our team also taught
some English classes. Chad and Lili led those classes, and they did an amazing
job. I looked over at one point and Chad was pretty much teaching a basic
business class to his group. Again, it was rewarding to see how appreciative
everyone was for what seemed like a small thing on our part.

Random Lady with Funny Baby
Our contacts this
month were amazing as well. Their humility and service to the Lord was amazing.
They live as a great example for everyone around them. The standard of living
they maintain is well under what their income could afford. They choose to live
in a smaller house than they could because they want use their money to support
a local church, pay for the church youths’ school fees, and take care of the
people around them. Their joy was unbelievable. The last night we
spent at their house, they did a commissioning ceremony for us. They prayed
over us and washed our feet. It was incredibly humbling. These are the people
we were there to serve, but they served us far more than we served them. I pray
that I don’t forget their example.
