Teaching on a street corner


For many months now Terry has been going every Monday afternoon to a street corner to teach about good livestock production. This is truly in the "heart" of the Rangi. This came about as Terry was walking one day, they ask, "what are you doing? where are you going?" Terry told them he taught about good livestock production and they said, "come here and teach". He never knows how many will come or where it will lead, but he is open to where God is leading. Many times people will come home with him to see the bio gas generator or he will have opportunities to go to their homes to meet the family and look at their animals. Sometimes they want him to go to their village, but that hasn't happened yet, he is waiting for them to make arrangements.
The rains has been good this months, we have received over 7 inches now and most if not all have planted. We pray for good crops so there will be enough food for all.

Form 6 Girls Receive New Bibles


These are some of the Form 6 graduates who have been in Nan's weekly Bible study for the past year. They had their formal graduation ceremony on the 20th of January and last Wednesday Nan was able to give each of the 78 girls new Kiswahili Bibles. From their emotions you could tell that many of these girls had never owned a Bible of their own. It was such a joy to be able to share with them how God has blessed us and we, in turn, are able to bless them. These students are actually taking their final National exams this week, February 7-11. Please pray for these young women and for their future. These are some of the brightest young women in the Country of Tanzania, just by being invited to attend this government school shows they are the future of Tanzania. It has been such a joy to be with them teaching the Bible study of David.
