Farmer's Day/Week


Here Nan is showing the biogas generator. We learned very quickly that if we worked in a circle, we would take our visitors from the biogas generator, to storage of corn, solar cooking then water purification using the sun. Sometimes it didn't work, but that was the plan.
On Friday the police were able to return Nan's camera. The boy was spotted in town and when he realized the police were after him he dropped the camera and ran. The camera was recoverd without the SD card, be we had an extra, the boy did get away.
Over the weeks time we gave out about 400 copies about the biogas generator and over 350 of solar cooking and water purification. We learned a lot about what to do next year. From Thursday thru Saturday we were overwhelmed with the numbers of people. We were still able to share our testimonies many times.
Many doors have been opened to us and to teaching, just by us being at the week long event. On Monday, the 10th, 5 women from the district political party came to visit us. They want Nan to teach them about using the biogas generator. There were M women in the group and while they were in our home Nan had an opportunity to pr-y for them. Today, Tuesday, a man from a M village came to ask Terry to come to build a biogas generator.
On Monday, August 17th, we will have a mini demonstration of the things we showed in Dodoma at Farmer's Day/Week at our home. We will be inviting our neighbors to come to see these things. Please pr-y for us and for more open doors for teaching the Word.
