Today we went to church at a member's home. Without Carol, Boyd, Kirsten and I there are only 3 members in Dodoma with an occasional student. Today we had a student from the University of Dodoma join us. We sang a hymn and prayed, I shared a spiritual thought and then Baptist gave a lesson. Then we had a closing hymn and prayer.
We ate dinner there. It was a huge eye opener to be in another person's house because even our humble home that we are staying in is a very nice one for most people. We sat on the floor when we ate. There were only 6 forks so two people ate with their hands. This family is still better off than many others.
The student, Isack, shared his conversion story with us. He is 27 and has been a member for 6 years now. For the past 3 years he has been attending the University here in Dodoma so he has not been able to go to church. I am so grateful to be born in the circumstances that I was.
So excited for you!!!
