Imagine watching the inauguration of the 44th President of the United States while in a very humble restaurant of a hotel lobby. Almost every TV station is running it, and believe me, in this east African country, they know, love and support Barak Obama to the “nines”. He is raising great hope in the African people.
But I know a group who has been consistently pouring hope into the lives of thousands of Africans, and I have seen the effect face to face over the past few days right here in the villages of Tanzania. World Vision has had a profound impact on these people, especially the children! It may seem to you, you’re on a trip and they are expecting you to say these things…that may be so, however, if I did not see positive, tangible results from World Vision’s ongoing efforts, I simply could not give this glowing report.
Briefly, today alone, we were entertained by “tweeners”, they sang of the horrors of the Aids virus, they sang of the glory of God, they performed a dramatization of a young girl avoiding being talked into premarital sex. By theway, it was actually funny.
*we played frisbee together
*we taught them the song “Nothing But The Blood”
*we traveled a very long while over extremely rough terrain
*we worshipped while we went
*one of the guys from Nashville met his sponsored child and was literally treated like a king, so we all got blessed with a taste of BBQ goat! The other white meatJ
Whoops, gotta go, this is not my laptop. Thank you, Steve Quant! (He si our leader plus this is his and he needs to get some much deserved shuteye.)
Love you all! Can’t wait to tell you about Losai, my boy! Sweeeet~
