Making a joyful sound, dark at night, hundreds of people surround
our tents. A couple of torches making a dim light. Choirs having a sing off the
youth versus the seasoned .These high pitched tones and harmonies causing the
crowd to ask for more. Singing praises to God and telling stories.
Donald and Peter worked in unison sharing the gospel
message.
What an experience this vast contrast day and night,
hardship, heat and dust the daytime brings. Pulling water from the well with a
bucket, pounding kasava into meal and cooking over the fire. Roger took the vehicle
down the track to bring back maize meal and a goat. This meant a feast was able
to be given to all, even the children. Peter Chomba said “We have fed the multitude
today.”
I spent the time with the ladies - much laughter was shared where
language differences added to the joy. Sharing photos of NZ, talking of
families, children, eating snacks of ground nuts and kasava. This is such a privilege to get a glimpse of life
here.
Loaded - what comfort!
