I går kørte vi fra Tarangire til Dodoma. Hvilket var en ret lang tur. Vi vågnede lidt i 6 om morgenen for at tage på safari (vi så foresten en løve-mor med hendes 2 unger. Det var en dejlig og lang tur. Vi ankom til Dodoma ved 8 tiden, hvor vi ikke spiste aftensmad på det hotel familien Hagen skulle sove. (Det vidste sig at det åbenbart to flere timer at lave en tør kylling og nogle triste pommes frites.) Så efter vi havde ventet i 1.5 time gik vi derfra uden at spise. Men vi sov godt hjemme ved Allan. Elizabeth. Vi var meget sultne, da vi kom i seng i går fordi der var ike hurtig nok mad på restauranten. Da vi kørte fra Tarangire til Dodoma var vi i 14 timer i bilen. ... read more

I wish to introduce you to two Tanzanians. One is a young man and the other is a young lady. Charles and I have been having studies with Alex. He is a bright youth who seems to have keen interest in learning the Word of God. He is presently living in one small room. When we arrive at his room for class, Jacob and I duck as we go through the small doorway. Alex opens the shutter board that covers the small window. I sit on the small bed beside him, since it takes up much of the room. Jacob sits upon a small wooden stool that is about 11 inches off the ground. A chair is positioned in front of us to serve as a table, and I write each verse in Swahili as we ... read more

As we strive to spread the message of the simple New Testament gospel, we are constantly encouraged by our Lord’s promise, recorded in Matthew 7:7, 8. Jesus assured us that “every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth....” Our Heavenly Father is able to search the hearts of all men, and He is aware of those who have a disposition to seek to know His will. We want to be ready vessels, to be used to deliver the precious message, “that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves” (2 Corinthians 4:7). One way we are attempting to make the word known, is by offering Bible classes to all who are interested. We have chosen two locations, and conduct special classes each Saturday. At ten o’clock in the ... read more

So, 1.5. - So 12.6. Iringa Wir sind nun schon 5 Wochen in Iringa, einer Kleinstadt auf 1600 m Höhe im südlichen Hochland von Tansania, wo wir noch bis 12. Juni bleiben. Ich mache wie geplant einen Suahelikurs und die Jungs gehen in die Schule:-). Es hat alles genauso geklappt, wie ich mir das ausgemalen habe! Das Klima hier ist ziemlich angenehm, in der Nacht kann es recht kühl werden, aber untertags ist es warm, wie zu Hause in Österreich an einem schönen Frühlingstag. Die Umgebung sieht sehr schön aus, Berge mit verstreuten großen Felsbrocken, dazwischen auch grüne Vegetation. Überhaupt ist Iringa eine ganz angenehme Stadt, manche Viertel sind wirklich gepflegt und gesäumt von blühenden Bäumen und Büschen. Man sieht auch einige schöne Häuser und Autos. Der Markt ist sehr bunt und es gibt neben allem ... read more
