I am
with Gidori, Paul and Pendaeli and our guests Edna, Margie and Ros
from Perth. It has been a privilege to share with the leaders from the
Barabaigic [lady left] and Irak tribes… Though they have some
problems. Long hair on women is a hassle in one church! Its causing
division…. It just reinforces to us the peoples need to be
strengthened from Gods word. It reminds
He wants
people who will be strong in knowing Father God for what He
Pray that we will help the leaders to lead their people to know God in reality.
AIDS work: Our HIV/AIDS volunteer health workers are doing a great job in their villages with the limited resources they have. Here's a little of what Godsave saw at Mwika recently:
Widows (both
affected and infected with HIV) and the fatherless boys came to have
their lunch. All the boys lived with Mama Mrina’s family since they
were children. The Village Health Workers, who were recently trained by Imara, have been working hard to visit, pray and do home based care services.. They have been a great help to Mama Mrina. They just came from home visitations and are here taking lunch with the orphanage children at Mama Mrina's home. I had an opportunity to talk with them and encourage them that their labour will not be in vain because they are serving the awesome God. While we are on Mwika, MissionOz Imara have been working really hard to help Mwika. We now have funds for two classrooms for kids affected by AIDS which we will build soon. But there is a piece of flat land that has come available on the top of the hill next to the hilly land we already have. We are hoping to be able to purchase that additional acre before we decide where to build. Also we are really thankful to both Perimeter and SBC for helping with food this next 10 months for the children, but we are hoping to see doors for this kind of need from Australia after that runs out. Contact Roger in NSW rellem@aapt.net.au or Phil in WA pcmcwilliams@westnet.com.au if you are interested. [We have Australian tax free status for donations now for Aid projects.]
Stanley and Evangelism work:
Evangelism department is working
hard to win soul for Christ Jesus. An open air meeting was done at a village
named Kikwe headed by evangelism team from Imara
Stanley leading praise and worship
at Kikwe village. People pay attention to the word of God
Film show is part of open air meeting, when it comes to film show the number of people add up especially youth as well as children are first most to be excited, many people do receive Jesus as their personal saviour after cinema. Learning by experience........
World Travellers!
Stop Press -
Discipleship "3" really encouraging!
Daudi said: "I have seen working with my people like this breaks pride and builds unity. Foot washing was hard! But it worked well in the church. I am ashamed of the shallow teaching we have brought in the past." I know we are going to see
great fruit for the church and
Our house is going up as you can see. Its so exciting knowing Gods grace on us for this after 13 years of being here. We are really looking forward to getting into it as you can imagine! No more rent after that. Australia: We will be back in Australia in September through November and we would love to see you! If you contact either Margie in WA 0417963827 kdma@westnet.com.au, or Chris in NSW crgentle@ozemail.com.au, they can tell you our movements and line up dates for when we are in your neck of the woods.
.......... PRAYER!................
Gods blessings on you and thanks for standing with us! Mike and Lyndall |

Hi
from Dongabesh and Hydom!
me again of Jesus' last words to us just before He left HIS disciples…
for us to make MORE disciples!
REALLY needs
from us. He needs a people that will NOT be blown around by the stuff
that is sent to distract us from our real job …… of reflecting Gods
love and incredible grace to folks around us in our everyday lives.
we both got,
but the people REALLY appreciated her AIDS teaching there
and asked
her to come back. They said their churches had never had AIDS teaching
before. So I guess we will be returning to Pangani!
Godfrey,
pictured left, is the headmaster at Karanse School. He is a very
dedicated man who, along with his teachers, is serving the
children of Karanse They are so dedicated they were the top school in
their district last year. We asked Godfrey, and Pastor Warrieli, to
share their experience with the leaders of a new school starting next
year at Mairowa. As new schools, widows and orphans work come to us,
we are able to draw on experience we have gained in our current work.
Jones and the Very Reverend Bishop [!] Daffa :) [pictured here with Pastor
Randy Pope] were blessed to learn more of what Perimeter at Atlanta
are doing towards this end and then to be able to travel across to
Arizona to be learn what is happening around the world with Disciple
Nations Alliance work. These guys love the Lord and His people here
and are pouring out their lives to strengthen Gods people in this
land. Pray for them!
Pastor
Samuel said: "I did not know how to teach people and did not know what
to do. I started working with 6 and they are humble now! I am really
happy. They thought it was some new religion and were resistant at
first. Now they want more!" [These are his leaders]
the nation come from this work. As you will have heard me say before, there are
many wonderful evangelists here, but few that disciple their people well to
build strong character. I believe we are going to see that change to affect the
nation!! Thanks again Perimeter for standing with us and Tanzania.
