Just when I think of complaining about roads in the 'States . . . Here is a picture of a new culvert washed out by the recent rains. Last year this road was being built and the ground was not firm enough to withstand the pressure of the water during the rainy times.
I spent the day with Elias pouring over maps and visiting villiages we have worked in before, taking notes along the way. God is bringing these works along very well. The people are faithful and working hard.
Today we concieved the idea of a large conference in Dar es Salaam, which is the main city and on the coast. The idea is to bring together key leaders from each region of the country in order to train them as trainers of the Evangecube and use them as key contacts for future church-planting campaigns. Currently, we are planning to do this in January of '08.
We also met some Methodist missionaries who live a couple of hours from here who specialize in health training--particularly with water. They are also producing a natural water purifier which weighs about 200 pounds and sells for about $55 US, but can produce 60 liters of water per hour. (almost 16 gallons). This is invaluable for villages that are ravaged by water-borne diseases. In a few days I will tell you how a water well opened the door for the gospel in a village near the Serengeti.
Thanks again for your prayers.
For the Harvest,
Phil

Phil, thanks for your diligence in posting the updates and pictures. It's really nice to follow along and "see" what we're praying for...though that's not necessary. Know that we're thinking of you and praying for a terrific planting and harvesting time for your team and you there. May you continue to sleep and eat well so that you can continue to share your smile and love of Christ.
