Blessings!

Pastor Juma Kapufi is now the leader of the Tanzanian Grace Church. He is a quiet, humble man who has taken over a job in the midst of a spiritual battle. Keep praying for him as he tries to lead as God would have him.
This is Mama Stewadi, My cook and dear friend. She 'escorts' me on all my trips to weddings and graduations. She takes care of me on the road and at home -- I am blessed. 8 years ago when I first started singing in a local choir she was the only one bold enough to help me find the songs they were singing in my book. Ever since then we've grown closer as my language skills have improved!



Another wedding! This groom is one of the main teachers at our carpentry school in the Rukwa Valley.
We all got together as missionaries to worship in the forest on Sunday morning. What a great time to worship in English and to fellowship together.

The conference in Tatanda. Most of the services were held outside to accommodate the number of people. You can see the mission house in the background which is now the church.

This is the dedication service of the new church building. Not everyone could fit inside but it was a special service.
