Day Seven: WATER IS FLOWING

The water is flowing!!Today we chose to stay in Dar es Salaam to look at water pumps. We continued to get calls from the R.C.C. that the water was flowing and it was sweeter than ever. We were told by the man who drilled the well that something was special about this place, because in his nine years of drilling wells, this is the sweetest (best and cleanest) water that he has ever seen! He said it tasted like Kilimanjaro water! We are looking for a pump to retrieve water on a permament basis. Tomorrow, the man over the drilling is supposed to take us to find our best options (as there are many options). But we are needing a pump to fit our budget as well as provide water for several years. Please be praying for favor.

MeMaw and Ashley finally experienced the market place that contained all of the arts and crafts. We are amazed at their talent and excellent work. Our day ended traveling to a church upon a mountaintop that Kevin refers to as "Mount Sinai" because Ricky, Kevin and Sherry experience such a presence of God there last year. Kevin gave a quick but "on time" word about dry bones that was received as confirmation by the people because they had just heard this in the form of instruction from someone else. Ashley led worship and set the atmosphere for Sherry to minister on "Blessings or Cursings: It's a Choice". The people received the Word and celebrated in dance! They then heard from MeMaw and honored her by giving her gifts. The assistant pastor, Bahati, invited us to her home after service. As we were leaving the service, Kevin and Sherry found a lady that they have been looking for since arriving in Africa. Kevin had been approached by someone in America, who had driven to his job the day before we left and explained to Keving that God had shown him a vision of a lady. He described what this lady would be wearing and said that she was facing a financial wall in her life. He gave Kevin a love offering from God to give to this lady when we located her. And at this moment, we were standing before her with the Holy Spirit acknowledging to both Kevin and Sherry at different times that this was the lady! Even Geoffrey said that there was something special about this lady. We had Geoffrey explain to her in detail what was taking place and that God has seen her troubles from a distant land. She wept and smiled and thanked God! Later, we discovered that many who knew of her circumstances were very excited for her.

Our journey to the pastor's home was an experience in itself: washed out roads, and broken cubbards made it impossible to get to it by vehicle. So, we continued by foot, passing a narrow concrete bridge to get to the home, but once we entered, we found peace, rest, and a wonderful m eal. The time at this writing is now 10 past midnight. We are going to bed to rest for another exciting adventure when we wake.
