Well Hi again from <= st1:country-region w:st=3D"on">Tanzania,=

As always over here = we have not been without something to do! I was thinking that we<= !--[if gte vml 1]> missionaries often = share mostly the good news and not the rough side of things…. Maybe we are opposite to our worlds newspapers! But God IS on the throne and we DO know His encouragement even when discouragement comes along…. So I am go= ing to share again the blessings that we are privileged to be a part of over here….. hope it encourages you!

= Mairowa children and water…..

We have 340 kids spo= nsored at Mairowa now with the aim of Christian education bringing long-term transformation into their lives. There is a shortage of food there and the help is kind of opportune.

This child, Haruni, has 100% sure been saved already. He had 35% of normal red blood count du= e to malaria, malnutrition and whatever. Thank you to the overseas ‘parents’!

Well we finally have a hand pump with wat= er coming out of the borehole!! And weren’t the mamas happy! This lady on the right has the f= irst two buckets of water to carry back home. Imagine that ladies!<= /span>

Its taken a while becau= se its been like extracting chickens teeth trying to get a generator for the submersible pump we planned to put down the hole. Once that is in we will have 8000 litres/ hour…. A LOT of water= ! Then the Maasai GUYS will be REALLY happy because of having water for the cows= !! We can look at small irrigation then and maybe help the locals in the dro= ught times.

Kondoa and the leaders….<= /p>
<= span style=3D'font-family:"Bookman Old Style";color:navy'>We had a great time = with a team of folks from Scottsdal= e recently…. Frank brought the first team for seminar work heres a bit of what Gidori said about the time we h= ad together…..

Heres a bit of what Gidori said…..

“ That evening when we entered = Kondoa city we surround all town by prayers. Our team [Imara] with the committee and some of the Intercessors went in of the areas wher= eby they were being said were the evil stronghold of the Satan. We rebuked and cast away all evil powers and establish His Kingdom in those areas!<= /o:p>

At this location 242 lead= ers attended the Seminar more than what we planned [200 leaders]

Helping one another even = in our diversities is one of the most important things! Pastor Mike is demonstra= ting how Aaron and Hur helped Moses.

“Mama, do you agree= with your husband with everything he tells you?” Mike asked a tough ques= tion to Shango’s wife when demonstrating abo= ut having a fellowship with your fellow Pastor/ leader despite of our diversities.

Testimonies:

In front of my desk right= now I have about 50 papers full of thanksgiving and wonderful testimonies. Let me try to pinpoint some of t= hem.

<= /i>

I thank the Lord for = this Seminar for it has stretched me in some of the areas whereby I was so small. Thanks to Mama Joshua for AIDS teachings. I liked the way she taught us and it was so clear to me than I understood UKIMWI before. From Dorcas Sungura= [TAG- Kondoa]

I congratulate all those who got this vision of uniting God’s children together. What I got in this Seminar is strengt= h to move on. I was so hesitant to associate with other denominational people, but at least now I know we are moving in the same direction = and we have one enemy- the Satan .[By Issidori Ngobito]

As this is our first Leadership Seminar, I have no words to express my thanks to the Lord of Lords. I have come to know the importance of unity.

We are not poor! We are not poor! Our poverty is in our minds= for sure. This man from Nai= robi [Dennis] has opened up my mind and I don’t know where to start= but I have something now…. [Emmanuel Mwosi]

I am released from the burden I have been carrying! God loves me I have proved in this Seminar. The things which were hidden were revealed t= o me through His servants. What a mighty God we serve?...[Victoria Eliezer <= /li>

<= /span>

I have come to know the value of a woman and how to take care= for my children in His love [Paulina Krisenti]. May God bless you all who came here= to teach us and Imara Mini= stry Foundation

<= span style=3D'font-family:"Bookman Old Style";color:navy'>I think that’s probably enough for this month. If you are able to pray with us…..<= o:p>

Sharon and Peter getting married over here very soon [3^rd Dec] so we are homing in on that this next week= or so. Thanks to those of you who have been able to help us there- its very appreciated. We are really looking for= ward to having Kirsty and Josh with us as well as Ki= rstys friend Rhett.

Pray with us as the work continues to go forwar= d. We have a LOT of teams coming ove= r next year. We want to enable others to help us strengthen the church here= - in fact the more we are able to do that the better as far as we are concerned!! [I hope we can have a base in the centre/ south of the country through time] = But Imara needs to grow in its capacity to = handle the work as well. We are getting there and folks are getting behind = Imara to build that capacity. [We have = some key guys coming in January to work with us] It of course brings its growing pains with change.

Living Way are helping sponsor the first small = key leaders seminar /encouragement/building time on= the 7^th/8^th. Years back Robert Porter in Australia shared with us the God was going to unfold his plan bit by bit to us. This is part of the unfolding and we would appreciate your prayers w= ith us on this one. I believe it is very much a part of what He is wanti= ng us to do to strengthen the church here.

Lyndall asked for prayer for our first HIV/AIDS centered team here in January going to Mwika, followed by the next school for our next 16 village health workers.=

Brenda from New Zealand comes in February to ‘spy out the land’ with a view to possibly working with us. She is pretty excited about coming!

= Blessings and thanks,=
