It is a comfort to know that God is in control of all things. As I sit here writing this update, I am viewing an incredible sunset over Lake Tanganyika. It is our 3rd sunset to watch and it is incredible. God is so good!
We arrived Wednesday evening after a long 22 hours of driving over two days. The last 350 km of road (I use that term loosely) was sand and dust. Probably half of the time it was only one lane that was useable. In spite of that, we made it without one problem. God is so good!
We arrived to find the Millers here working hard with some guys doing the final repairs on the house. We are so thankful for the two weeks of hard work they did to get the house ready for us. As I write this, they should be back in Dar es Salaam. The night we arrived, we were blessed to have some time of fellowship with other like-minded folks working in this area. It was a blessing. God is so good!
Blocked roads…yep. Found out from the driver of the container truck that another truck broke its axel and has completely blocked the road – that dusty dirt one. He still has about 250 km to go so will spend the night with the truck, and God willing, the other truck will be moved to clear the road and he will reach here some time tomorrow. God is so good! (This one is hard to say but it is TRUE.) I am challenged once again by the Apostle Paul and by James as they write to remind us to give thanks in EVERY thing and that these things serve a greater purpose of God. God willing, we will unpack the container on Monday.
We thank you for your prayers for our safety in travel. We had a few 'close calls' along the way with a kid running out in front of our truck, and nearly hitting deep holes in the side of the road.
Tomorrow morning we will worship in Azimio. We look forward to that. Thanks for praying. God is so good!
Daily by His grace…
