Life N' Africa

Well, life here isn't all that bad, well it has its moments of glory, and horror. Yet, we push on for the next day quietly keeping the count of days in our head till we return home to see our Families, Church, Friends, and all loved ones. We have had some issue with the student protest and unfortunately iI could explain in fullness all the details but I can't. However, we are still meeting with students and though its easy to disciple other Christians it can be hard to find new believers willing to give up there family religions to follow Jesus, Abandonment and beating are welcomed if one choose to do so. But its cool when you see an unbeliever weight that very thing. I am glad to report we are doing well and have growing numbers and seeing faith increase every time we meet with the students. Walls are being broken. I have to say this, the coolest thing about ministering to these students is that they are from not just Tanzania, but Kenya, Uganda, Congo, Sudan, and all those countries have one thing in common. There are Christian fight the battle over faith, in a heavily sinful reality. Congo, Army soldiers rapping women, Sudan, a stop and go civil war, Uganda, Corruption, Kenya, become more and more of a Third world country with the Rich getting rich and the Poor staying poor. Tanzania has its sure of unjust justice, yet it remain very collective in its approach to maintain order though it to has it fair share of corruption with in its political system. We have student that string out all over Tanzania and it's neighboring countries and that means one thing. The lord is going to be glorified in Africa somewhere. Its cool to actually know that I am part of something bigger than myself. Anyways, please continue to pray for us and the students here, and we will do the same for all of you back home. We love you and thank you for everything you all have done.
