Things are winding down in Tanzania

I have been instant messaging with Shannon nearly daily. There is nothing really major to report. They did open air crusades in Mwanza over the weekend and attended church at Pastor Richard's church on Sunday morning. Shannon loved the church service and says he wishes he "could bring them all home" with him. The praise and worship over there is, uh, more exuberant than we experience here, even in our contemporary Assembly of God church.

Shannon gave his testimony at the crusade one evening. Monday they had a pastors and leaders conference and Tuesday they held a youth conference. Shannon said he gave a short teaching at the youth conference. He hates speaking so this is stretching him, but in a good way.

Wednesday there is going to be a womens conference. Shannon was not sure what he and Michael would do during that time. On Thursday the entire team will be traveling to see the land. They are also hoping to visit Tumaini Children's Home for a quick tour as a team so that they can see how it is run too. Shannon says Tumaini is very much like the vision that End Time Glory Ministries has for their children's home.

Friday will be a day of traveling back to Arusha, the first step to coming home. Please pray for the end of the ministry time to go well and for safe travels as they begin the long journey home. The weekend holds a bit of a fun retreat for the team. I will share more about that then.

Dear Christine....thank you for the updates and keeping us informed. We continue to pray for Shannon and all of you at home. Will pray for journey mercies as he begins the trip home in a a few days. K.S.
