of February. We have been privileged to meet many long-time friends but also
made some great new friends. Lots of visiting and speaking opportunities with
great ministry times in different churches, home groups and around kitchen
tables.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

only in Tanzania but throughout East Africa; and now getting invitations into
West Africa. In recent years the Lord has been leading us into a lot more of
teaching/preaching and raising up the next generation of local Africans into
ministry. Jette and the girls will continue to home school, but will be involved in
other ministry as time allows.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

starting construction of our house outside of Iringa. We look
forward to working more closely with the Moyer families there. We recently

huge answer to prayer!</span><span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

One summer we went on a week long rafting trip on
the Salmon River, Idaho. It was so much fun, we spent the nights out on the
beaches and there were millions of stars every night. I made lots of friends
there. We also got to go cliff jumping, which was an awesome part of the trip.
By the end I was sad to leave.<br />
There was a time we went on a canoe trip on the Weekiwachi
River in Florida. I went with one of my best friends, Mary. We got to see
a manatee and a bunch of fish. It had been a long time since I had seen her so
that was a big highlight.<br />
Another time my sisters and I went on a hike
in the Rocky Mountains with some of our cousins in Colorado. The view from
the top was amazing and I was very happy to spend time with my cousins.<br />
Going to Denmark to see our family one Christmas
and then go skiing in Norway was also a highlight for me.<br />
I will miss all my friends, but I also look
forward to making many new memories in Africa!</span></span></div>

I learned to pray and pray hard. I learned to worship God with all my might,
soul, spirit, and most of all with my heart and my mind. I learned not to be
afraid of the chatter in my ears that say I am ugly or I'm bad at acting or
stuff like that, but I don't listen to them, I only listen to God's
truth. I learned to speak life to everyone I talk to. I also learned to trust
the Lord in all I do. I learned to obey what God wants me to do. I also learned
to have faith.<br />
But most of all, I learned that everyone on the entire
earth has a purpose for being in this generation!</span></span></span><br />

You know how people say, "With practice things get easier." That is
partially true! Like when it comes to packing your bags on a short moment's notice,
sleeping in a different house every night, and getting along with siblings in
cramped spaces, like our car. Well, maybe that one needs a little more
practice.... Getting in and out of the car fast, and falling asleep in the car
fast, we're really good at that one! I have found, however, that it is not true
of all things; saying goodbye for instance.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><i><span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; font-family: "lucida sans unicode" , sans-serif;">There
is a quote that goes:<br />
" Never say goodbye, because goodbye means going away, and going away
means forgetting."<br />
It's hard to admit, because I like to think I'm tough and fearless,<br />
but, that is one of my personal fears; forgetting and being forgotten.<br />
I don't mean always being thought about or something,<br />
not that I want to be remembered and nobody makes other friends <br />or that they
can't move on.<br />
Just that we're still friends,<br />
That you'll hear a song and remember <br />that we used to sing it together.<br />
That you'll play a game and remember <br />all the laughs we got out of it.<br />
That you would laugh to yourself <br />when you remember something stupid I said or
did,<br />
That you wouldn't hesitate to text or call <br />when you get bored, sad or
frustrated.<br />
That even though we might not have spoken in a while <br />we'd still be there for
one another.<br />
Not <b><u>not </u></b>moving on with our lives because I know we have to!<br />
But it's forgetting, It's losing you, that <span style="font-family: "lucida sans unicode" , sans-serif;">worries </span>me the most!</span></i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20.8px;">We are looking forward to spending Christmas with Lyle's family in Colorado Springs this year. It has been nice to see how well these nine cousins have gotten to know each other over the past two years and have become such close friends. Who knows when they will all be able to have Christmas together again?</span></span></div>

A highlight for the girls has been the opportunity to be in theater. This picture is from the Mary Poppins Musical last month.

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; text-align: left;">Rachel, who has just turned 17, was given an opportunity to go to Thailand for four weeks in October and November. She went to help our good friends, the Sanborns, at an orphanage called Home of the Open Heart. It was great to see how the Lord provided for her expenses, down to the last five dollars just a few days before her departure! We are so thankful to all of you who invested in her during this time, whether through prayer or through finances!</span></div>

We were
in the Portland, Oregon area, over the summer at my (Lyle's) dad’s
farmhouse, with lots of space, lots of work, lots to see. It was great
to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa too. They celebrated their 53rd
wedding anniversary while we were all there.</div>

We drove the long way from Florida, a four week drive, visiting along
the way. Still living out of suitcases but this will likely never really
end in our lives... Every weekend we were out sharing in different
churches throughout the NW. A lot is happening in this nation but at the
same time we sense a deeper hunger for the Lord.</div>

weeks in July, what a joy to see them! This photo is from Cannon Beach,
Oregon Coast, where we got to spend a couple of days. Hearing the Danish

and spending lots of quality time together was wonderful.<br />
We look forward to seeing all of our Danish family and as many Danish friends as possible when we go to Denmark for Christmas <br />

We were
on our way to Boise ID. last month from Portland OR. and on the way I
began having serious cramps which eventually led Jette to taking me to
the nearest emergency room in a local hospital. The reason we were
given was that some kind of virus (?) had caused intestinal swelling
leading to blockage. After groaning like a dying animal for what
seemed like hours I was finally given morphine and two days later I was
released from the hospital but only after having a tube up my nose and
down my throat for 48 hours. That was not a pleasant experience...</div>

people all over the world were praying for us, we are so thankful to
have friends from around the globe. The whole experience has helped me
to have a bit more understanding of those who are working with medical

We have been on the road almost 6 weeks, stayed in 11 homes and 3 motels so far. Some would say that is a very long time for a field trip, but we have our school books with us and squeeze in as much school as possible while on the road.</div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #f9cb9c; color: #4c1130;">Just before getting on the airplane in New York headed for a lay-over in Korea, we were told that two of our girls could not go, because their passports were valid
less than 6 months and Philippines immigration would not let them in. “Get new passports,
then they can go.” We flew on to Seoul, Korea and were able to deal with the
passport issue there, while Jette and the other two flew on to our destination.
After 30 hours, the passport issue was sorted and off we went to meet the
others in Cebu, Philippines. We are glad the girls have passports from two countries, and that we had team members coming a day later, who could bring the other passports!</span></span></div>

very scattered people. You can find Filipinos all over the world working, looking
for ways to send money back home. This also means that either a mom/dad,
sometimes even both are away, at times for several years, leaving kids behind
to be raised by others, making unstable families in desperate situations. One
would ask if money is really worth it. My personal worldview and situation says
no, but I must be careful not to judge.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Africa in so many ways. They continue to ask when we are going home. We took
several trips out to the country side, enjoyed the white sand beaches but also
the fresh green mountain sides, coconut water and lots of rice to keep us full.
Of course we had to eat the local delicacy “balut” once again, a boiled
fertilized duck egg. It is a mind thing really, but it does taste just like an
ordinary egg; it is the little feathers and the beak that is harder to swallow…<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #f9cb9c; color: #4c1130;">There were several trips to a local prison for ministry and our kids especially enjoyed the weekly trips into some of the slum areas for children’s programs. Also visiting homes
of some desperate people. My “pen” can tell you the story but it is unable to
give you the soul and heart of their reality. Losing their homes, and now even
3 months later basically living in grass huts and hoping they will soon be able
to afford re-building their homes. But always welcoming us with a smile and
offering us a bite to eat…<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

additional 2 weeks. I spent time with my mom who had brought a team from their
church in Japan. We had a great time of ministry on the island of Bohol. Then
my dad called and said “That’s not fair, come and see me in Japan, since you’re
already in this part of the world.” So I flew to Japan for a few days and had a
great time with my dad and in the church there. My parents have now been
pastoring in Japan for 20 years. I have amazing parents, love you mom and dad…
After almost 50 hours of sitting in planes and airports I too arrived back here
in Florida. (On the parent note, Jette’s parents just celebrated their 50<sup>th</sup>
wedding anniversary, Congratulations! We were sad that we weren't able to be in Denmark to
celebrate with them.)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Dear wonderful friends,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The January weather here in
Florida has been nice and warm, in contrast to the rest of North America and
Europe, but not as hot as some of you in Africa have it....</div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our time with YWAM Tampa Bay has been good and we are now in
full swing with the Judah Ben Hur (JBH) Musical performance. We all have part
in this production and enjoying it. They tried to give me (Lyle) a singing and
dance part, but that wasn’t such a great idea, so I have the part of a tough
Roman soldier and also responsible to move all the sets for the right time and
place. Jette and the girls are enjoying their roles and also recently
auditioned for ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’, to be run in March and
April.<o:p></o:p></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<strong><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal; line-height: 115%;">It is Outreach Time!</span></strong><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Together with 17 others we
will be heading off to Cebu Island in the Philippines from February 2<sup>nd</sup><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></span>to 26<sup>th</sup>.<u1:p></u1:p>
Most of you may know that this nation has suffered great destruction with
ongoing earthquakes and tremors since October, in November the largest typhoon
in recorded history and most recently flooding and mudslides. <o:p></o:p></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our opportunities will be
diverse; we will be doing some rebuilding and cleanup, as well as ministering
to kids in the slums and also doing 5-6 JBH performances; a theatre has been
rented for this show, which has a strong message of redemption.<o:p></o:p></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We are looking for people to
get behind us in support and prayer for this Outreach. Not just for our family
expenses but also to help several Filipino families rebuild their homes, buy
new seeds for their fields, a few footballs, shoes for street kids etc.<o:p></o:p></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We do have our airfare all
taken care of, but still need to see some funds come in for our food and
accommodation while in Philippines. Would you be in prayer to see how you can
be involved? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There has been so much
devastation and it will take years to get things in order once again and we are
in hopes that God will use this team to reach out in love, to speak life and
bring a smile to many faces in the time that we are there. Please pray
with us that we'll have all the physical, financial, and, most of all,
spiritual resources that we need to minister to this devastated area.<o:p></o:p></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After our time in the
Philippines our family will be heading to South Carolina to run a Discipleship
School for YWAM in Myrtle Beach with our good friends Kel and Kristyn Steiner
from April through end of June.<o:p></o:p></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Blessings to you all and keep
the heater on (those of you who are in the season of winter wonderland). </div>

<span lang="EN-US">This is not
at all a goodbye to Africa, albeit a temporary “see you later”, as we now take
time for a type of sabbatical. My times among the Masai, in the swamps, in the
bush with some great men and women of God who still cook over an open fire with
smoke in their face, kids with no shoes and snotty noses. Working in Ethiopia,
Congo, Kenya and Tanzania have all been incredible times seeing people hungry
for God, for many all they have is faith to live on for they have nothing else.
There is so much that we can learn from them.</span></div>

arrive in Seattle on the 3<sup>rd</sup> July and off to the fireworks of

YWAM Tampa for about six months. The girls are registered in the local ACE
school and of course there are a lot of mixed emotions wrapped up their hearts.
There is the look of excitement and worry all in the same smile. It is easy to
think that they are Americans, but what are they? American dad, Danish mom,
both raised in Africa, they have lived in Africa 90% of their lives; there will
be a lot going through their minds. Excited about new gadgets and “stuff” in
America, but will miss the simplicity of life here. <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a></span></div>

In the 8-day course there are many activities: Swimming, which for many
Africans is a really big deal, fear of drowning and of spirits in the water.
Rock climbing, many problem-solving challenges, team building activities, a 24-hour
solo time and a 32 km hike to a waterfall deep in the forest. The theme is
always the cross and each team carries a wooden cross throughout their
activities; here they gain a deeper understanding of the cross and its power.
For many of them, this becomes a real life changing experience.</span></w:wrap><br />

their lives to the Lord! What an answer to prayer!! Jette had been struggling
with the dilemma of trying to teach them Biblical values for living, but

<span lang="EN-US">This week was
very different right from the beginning because I stayed a couple of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>nights with missionary friends Kamau and his
family in Nairobi, capital of Kenya. They work in one of the biggest slums in
Africa. In Nairobi it is estimated that 65% of the city’s population (6 mill)
live in the slums or in slum type conditions. Kamau, a Kenyan man, actually
grew up in these slums. Then he was invited to do a DTS with YWAM. He
eventually made his way to Russia where he met his American wife. 10
years in the US then to Zambia to run an orphanage where we first met them. The
Lord began stirring Kamau’s heart for the same slums he swore he would never
return to. They are there now running a couple of kids clubs. He took me around
the slums to visit his extended family who are still living there. A great
testimony from Kamau. No American should ever complain about the conditions
they may live in.</span></div>

Zambian lady was invited to come and minister. I was not sure what kind of stir
that might create due to the male dominated culture there. The first time she
came up to speak many of the Masai men were not sure they liked what was
happening. As she began to speak their thoughts quickly changed. It was very
encouraging for the Masai women to see that it is possible for a woman to be
called and used by God; for women in the Masai culture are generally always at
home with the goats, sheep and kids, that is their place and only their place.</span></div>

original plan for this seminar was to only invite pastors and church leaders

days there were over a thousand that came to take part. The Saturday night I
spoke; how they got 800 plus in the little building is amazing. I am glad I was
on the little stage in front; there was no room at all, not an inch of floor
space, there were more standing than sitting. The other 200 plus were standing
outside. On the Sunday we all moved outside.</span></div>

the mind and how it can be our own worst enemy; some of the lies that are
believed and lived out have kept many lives in bondage. Daring to speak into

cross, that salvation is all about me, but the cross is all about Christ and His
kingdom. Many came and fell before the cross and wept. This is something that
all Christians must understand. </span></div>

Purpose.” One pastor commented, “Is this really what church should be like? I
never knew.” Another one asked me “Why did you beat us up so hard?” It was then
followed by a big smile and two kisses on the cheek, I assumed that was his way
of saying thank you, I don’t think it was betrayal…</span></div>

our way back to Kenya we stopped at a ceremony where the young men are
circumcised and enter into adulthood and the warrior stage, this is the most
important time for the life of the Masai. The celebration lasts up to 3 weeks.
Thousand gather for this event. I was not allowed to take pictures, though I
did sneak one picture of the witchdoctors hut. His hut is in the middle of a
large circle of smaller huts, maybe about 100. There is a fence made of thorns
around the witchdoctors hut and it is called the "holy of holies". (Imagine that..)
If any person child or adult, dog or animal is found inside this fence they are
killed.</span></div>

physical sacrifices, but all done through the spirit world, within days of the

spiritual blessings and protection on these young men who move from boyhood to

This is a completely different level; it is the level I am after, to take the
power of God, the freedom of the Holy Spirit and the Salvation of Christ into
this culture. You don’t just do this over one week - it takes years of
relationship, study, asking questions and attentive eyes and ears as to understand,
so I can pray, preach and teach with understanding, being led by the Holy
Spirit.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">I have always heard of Congo but never
yet been. Well, I must admit right here and now, that I actually have been to
Congo once, but only unofficially. I was on a hike some years ago and our
faithful guide got lost and ended walking us into Congo. There are no fences in
the bush separating Zambia and Congo, but there is a big difference between the
bush I was in then and the city of Lubumbashi.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Several
months ago I met a Congolese Pastor here in Kabwe and he gave me an invitation
to come teach a seminar in his church. Over the months we had been
communicating so now the plans had come together and off we went. That is Mr.
Kashiba and myself. Mr. Kashiba is a mission’s pastor in one of the local
churches here in Kabwe where our family often attends.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Oh
yes, I forgot to tell you the visa part. You have to have a visa to go to
Congo, so off to Lusaka (150km away) we went first, a few days before our
departure day. We arrived and the guard at the Congolese Embassy said that I
was not allowed in. I politely asked why and he said because I had shorts on.
Now I live in shorts most of the time unless I am doing ministry, I even wore
very nice, clean shorts and a nice, clean shirt, which is not always my attire.
I usually have holes in my shirt, I don’t know where they come from but they
just appear. Jette is often asking me, “what happened now?”, “I don’t know
honey, honestly.” She says they<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>are my
golf shirts – 18 holes - you know…..</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>So
Kashiba, who was in the proper, embassy-regulated attire, goes into the embassy
and gets the forms, I fill them out and 6 hours later we have to come back to
collect the visa. Well, after those 6 hours we came back only to find out that
my application was denied.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Reason was
that my Zambian visa is not updated. Well, it is, actually. Now what do we do?
So we decided that we would go to another city closer to the Congolese border
and try there. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Three
days later we left Kabwe and headed north through the country of Zambia to the
city of Ndola, the former capital of Zambia. This time, though, I put on long
pants. Upon arriving, stepping into the embassy there, there were three guys in
shorts sitting there waiting for their visa. “What is this?” I thought! But as the
good boy that I am, I practiced the fruits of the spirit and said nothing… Making
sure that my Zambian paper work was in order, three hours later I was granted
my visa and off we headed up to the border of Congo.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
have heard lots of rumors or reality of Congo, all the corruption etc. Well, it
was time for me to find out. Parking my car in a ‘safe’ place, the long-term
parking place, off we went through the Zambian immigration without issues.
Walking now across to the Congolese side, this is where things got interesting.
I was actually told by the embassy back in Lusaka that it is better to get the
visa there at their office rather than at the border because they will charge
you twice as much at the border, not because it is legal, but just because they
can. So here I stand in front of the immigration officer and he wants to charge
me money even though I have a visa already! He saw that he was not going to get
money from me, so he asked for my yellow medical card, which I did give them to
see. “These dates are not right, go to the clinic and get your yellow fever
shot.” So I went over to their little office and I tried to speak nicely to the
ladies there, but they were not going to have it; they wanted a hundred and
five bucks for normally a ten dollar shot! After 20 minutes of making lots of
noise between them and me and Mr. Kashiba too, who also needed one shot, we
ended up giving them twenty dollars and in the end of it all we got no shots.
So this at least pleased them somehow because they at least got something, they
stamped our passports and away we went. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>So,
our adventure had started, it was about 4 pm when we got through, we went out
to meet our host pastor Bertan but he was nowhere to be found. We waited for
over an hour, while the local street vendors kept trying to sell us something,
anything. We called but there was no network so we started wondering if we
should go back to Zambia and sleep or take a bus to Lumbumbashi <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>one hundred km away, but then where do we go,
where do we stay? Where is this pastor who told me he would be here? Finally we
had network, the call went through and we were now being instructed to take a
bus to the city and he would meet us there. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>So
in a bus and off we go to a city of 6 million people, we get there about 8pm
after fighting crazy, chaotic traffic. Now, this is not your normal traffic
where people generally are in their own lane, no, this is drivers who make a
two lane road into a 5 lane road. Tanzania is pretty bad, but not like this.
Absolutely no road rules here, it is not even first-come-first-serve, that would
be respectful, it is last-come-first-serve and he makes sure that he goes
first, does not care if he goes against traffic or through someone’s driveway,
down the sidewalk, he is going to be first, now everyone does this and what do
you have…..</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Anyway
we finally arrived at our destination and Pastor Bertan was there waiting for
us with a smile and a hug. All I wanted was a bed by this time. We went to a
shop and got some chicken-and-chips-to-go and into another taxi and off we went
into the dark to our guest house. Through crowded streets we reached our guest
house. It was newly painted inside, very clean, even had electricity which was
a plus, seeing that most of the city did not have electricity. But here they
have their own generator, this is definitely not a five-star hotel, but it will
do for Kashiba and I just fine. Consuming our chicken and chips we were off to
our separate little rooms, of course you have to visit the loo before bed. Well,
this is not a typical loo that you sit on rather it is the Asian style toilet. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The kind you stand over or squat over. Anyway
you deal with what you have, at least I don’t have to go outside next to tree
like it’s done in Masai Land, well, actually that is not so bad out there, at
least it is clean and fresh air. In Masai land from time to time you just may see
an elephant walk by, although that might stop things up depending on just how
close he is…..</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>It
is now my 3<sup>rd</sup> morning in Congo. I went out for a short walk and I now
find myself sitting over the top of an open trench that runs through the
streets on both sides with a pen in my hand. The smell and things that you see run
through this trench are not attractive. I did not sit here for the purpose of
checking out the ‘fish’ below. I am not the only one sitting here for there are
several others, I just came to sit with them and have some small talk. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">This seems to
be a place that, well, you just sit and enjoy the morning hour. I am sure that
those sitting next to me don’t see that where we are sitting is that bad; “This
is where we sit every morning while we drink our morning coffee.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">I guess if I
did this every morning… What once seemed so bad now just seems normal, I guess.
When one grows up in this environment which many here have, they have never
known anything different so this is the only life they know. Now a person like
myself who has been a few places and seen a few things and especially being a
man of God, this is not how God intended life to be at all, but because of the
heart of man, this is what life has become. How we have fallen into deception!
Now you take a whole nation, or even the majority of this whole continent, it
has fallen under spiritual deception and you will have serious disorder in
every aspect of life. How can one explain it, for it is deeper than words? You
have to be sitting alongside me here over looking this trench next to my new
friends here to see, hear, smell, touch, and taste the life here. You have to
feel it in your soul to appreciate it, otherwise you judge it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Congo</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Congo is the
second largest country in Africa, the largest being Algeria. Congo is about the
size of Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Nevada, Arizona and California put
together or about the size of two-thirds of Western-Europe. Congo is a vast
country with an immense amount of natural resources. Its first language is
French followed by Swahili, and then there are hundreds of local dialects that
are spoken as well. Congo has had civil unrest for several decades; at least 4
million have been killed in the past years. This never-ending conflict is one
of war and corruption, fueled by Congo’s rich minerals and the greed for power
and money. It received its independence in 1960. Here in the city of
Lumbumbashi there are six million in population, this city is the capital of
the southernmost state or province of Congo. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
have had to recall my 10-or-so words of French that I remember from my high
school French class with Mrs. Bruit. (Now <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">that</b>
is another story..) I use my Swahili here very easily, so this is a big help to
me. There are very few wazungu or white people who make their way through Congo
much less live here, quite different then Zambia and understandably so.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
am in a part of the city called Kenya, now, it got its name because after the wars
in East Africa with the Germans quite a few from the Kenyan military came to
settle here, thus the name. This part of the city is now severely overpopulated
and completely congested. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Literally just
down the street from here starts the biggest market area in this large city, so
for like 15 square blocks is this market through which I took a walk yesterday.
If you have this idea that you would like to get lost in a foreign country,
this would be an ideal place. There is rubbish everywhere, plastic bags by the
millions litter the streets, heaps of trash are gathered and placed into the
middle of the streets in hopes that the government trucks will come and
collect. (They have evidently not been here in some time...)</span></div>

streets are lined with thousands of vendors. This particular block that I am
on, is lined with shoes, used shoes from the West. Many of these shoes are
washed, polished and resold for 5-10 bucks. They are already broken in and
everything, what a bargain! Maybe I should get some for Jette, you know for
Christmas, this pink pair would…on second thought, maybe not…<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some vendors have only a few pairs so they
line them up carefully in hopes for a buyer. After this block the next five
streets are all used clothes, also from the West. I can still see some yellow,
orange and blue tags from Salvation Army stores in the States. I walked through
the fish market and well, let’s just say it smells fishy... </span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">As I sit here
along my friends, my fan club continues to grow and it is not hard to see the
struggle and desperation of life on most of the faces, trying to survive yet
another day in this over-crowded city. One does not have time to concern himself
with the life of others for if you do, your own life could be swept away. Just
across the street from our little guest house a little boy just died from what
they say was yellow-fever. I heard the mother mourning throughout the night. I
spoke with her this morning and she was busy with her now empty life. She had
to get over it and move on or she herself may be the next victim.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">HIV/Aids is
the biggest killer here in this city, it is as high as +/- 45%. I know that we
hear statistics from the UN and WHO (World Health Organization) that it is only
about 16%. Well, this may be nice to hear, but step in and start talking to the
local clinics and the doctors who work here. They do a blood test on every
patient who comes through their doors and some doctors say it is easily over
50%. One doctor told me that he thinks that as many as 65% are carrying the
virus.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">I try to
imagine raising my kids here in this environment, but yet there are 1000’s of
kids that are born and raised here. For them it is home, they don’t know
anything different. The hardest thing for me to understand is that many of the
adults who do live here, they choose to live here. They could go live back in
their village where there is fresh air, it is clean, working in the fields and
getting a fresh harvest several times a year - yet they come here by the
hundreds, hoping for a better life. I am not sure how they define better. I
think many are drawn here because of hopeful dreams. Once here you get addicted
to the lawlessness here, it is do whatever you want and this is attracting to
the evil hearts of men. I don’t have to be accountable or responsible to anyone
or anything, it is easy to fall into this trap and even harder to get out.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">I see some
boys just down the back alley who have made a ball out of plastic bags. They wrap
bags on top of bags and tie them all together and let’s play some ball. This is
quite common throughout Africa. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">I notice on
the streets lots of bread being sold. This morning I saw some guy with about 300
loaves of bread on his head taking it to sell. It would have been a great
picture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This bread looks like the
French bread, the long thinner loaf. In Liberia where I grew up we liked this
style of bread, we could only buy it in the local market and we called it
‘Fanti bread’ because the Fanti people made it. Here in our guesthouse this was
our breakfast each morning, of course this came with a cup of tea, and as a
true proper gentleman I take my tea with a spot of milk thank you… </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Here in Congo
you drive on the right side of road because of the French influence. Zambia
drives on the left side because of the English influence. About half of Africa
drives on the right and half drives on the left. The problem here in Congo is
that though you drive on the right, all the steering is also on the right
because all the cars are second-hand from Japan who drives on the left. So when
you want to pass someone which everyone does here, you have to pull way out in
the other lane to see if there is oncoming traffic. So you have cars dodging in
and out all the time. The mini buses used as taxi buses are just bashed in,
scratched, dented, with broken windows. It is actually great here in some ways,
it makes Zambia boring. Tanzanian drivers are a bit crazy as well, but this is
another level. On one of our trips from the church we got stuck in a traffic
mess, cars in every direction. Sitting there next to our bashed in taxi was
this nice new Mercedes Benz, the look of nervousness was quite obvious on the
driver’s face. I was thinking that he is nuts for having his nice MB out here,
I am sure he was thinking the same thing!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">As I sit here
the noise level is so high, people shouting, music coming out of shops trying to
outdo the guy next door, vehicle horns, and salesmen shouting out to attract
their customers. Sitting here I am just amazed of just how much is going on at
the same time and in the same place. It is madness! I think I am going to go
back into the safety of my little guest house. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Now back in
my little room laying on my bed thinking about <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>all this stuff, the lights go from dim to
bright, dim to bright about every second. I am asking God where He is in all
this? The Lord answered quite quickly saying, “I am here, I walk these streets
every day, my Spirit moves up and down these streets calling people, reaching
out, and touching the hurting people but so many are too blind to see.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">I cannot imagine
how God sees all these thousands of people and knows every one by name. Their
struggles, their simple yet complicated lives and yet he is reaching out to all
of them. Now this is only one city of 6 million, what about the millions of
equally desperate people in India, Philippians, Brazil, and on the streets of
New York City? God knows them all. He has a purpose them all. In my selfish
heart it is hard to love all these, maybe I too should be walking the streets
calling out, touching the lost, reaching into the broken hearts and offering
hope. It shows the state of my own heart, God help me to value what you value,
teach me to love as you love. I do love Africa, there is hardly a day that a
tear does not come to my eye for Africa; but Lord, there are so many, what
difference can I make in this vast sea of people? How does one influence the
mindset of a whole society? </span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">The nations
around the world are falling under the deception of the lie of materialism and
the spirit of the world, even the church has moved from the ‘Freedom of the
Spirit’ to the ‘Spirit of Freedom’ and you see the fruits thereof.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">How does God
feel when he looks at his once perfect creation, predestined for his glory, now
it lies in ruins? Well, my very purpose of coming here is actually not to sit
and write about Lumbumbashi rather it is to do some training with pastors about
‘The Purpose of the Church.’ I am finding that many pastors and church leaders
do not really understand the purpose of the church other than Sunday morning
services. My last three days have been great with about 20 pastors. They are
full of questions and readiness. It seems that all of the pastors are worn out,
tired and frustrated, I look around and can anyone blame them? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have made it my commitment to these Congolese
pastors to encourage them, and minister life into them. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">They are all
excited and have asked that I come back in January for another week. They want
to get at least 200 pastors together to do what we have done here these last
few days.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Pastor Bertan
took Kashiba and me around to show us some of his vision. He is running a small
clinic, and TTN will try to see that we get him some medical equipment here in
the next month or so. Pastor Bertan is also planting a new church in a newly
developing area. It is estimated that within the next 10 years this new area
will be home to over a hundred thousand people. I love to see these local men
and women live here and commit themselves to Gods work among their own people.
I am seeing myself more and more of stepping out of practical mission projects
and getting more involved with encouraging and building up these locals. After
all, it is their country. I can live here most of my life (which I have) but I
am far from really understanding the soul of an African, for I will always be
an outsider.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">There is
still lots of room here for foreign missionaries but I believe we need to have
a new look at what we do and where we fit in; not changing our message, just
changing some of our approaches, but that is another book…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">There is so
much more to write but my coffee cup is empty and my bladder is full. I am just
glad that I have my own toilet to go to. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">In my closing
words to us all, there are many people in desperate situations, they may not be
on the streets of Congo but they may be in a suit and tie on Hollywood Boulevard.
Let us all continue to give a part of ourselves to those around us as Christ
did for you. Something to keep in mind, at the end of your life you will regret
more what you did not do, rather than what you did do.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">I will likely
go back to Congo this January, anyone want to join me. Also I am always on the
lookout for financial supporters to help make these trips possible. Thank you
for your prayers and your support.</span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Day
9</span></b><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Today
we travel to Tanzania, it is not an all day trip; well, we hope it is not an
all day trip, this depends on when the driver gets here, our good friend. He is
actually a real nice guy he just needs some new tires, that all. And if he
would just show up on time, then he would be like perfect!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Late
evening was just great. The road up to Pastor James’s place was rough, I have
been actually been doing most of the driving going here and there, that is once
the car is here. James lives way up in the hills, the road just kept climbing,
then we got to where there were no roads but we kept going. Finally, we
arrived. The family all came out to greet us with smiles. After a little tour
of his place we were offered a cup of chai. Soon the dinner came out and we all
enjoyed an evening of laughter. We talked of Masai life and some of the
difficulties that pastors work though here in Masai land.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Before
we got up to leave, some gifts were brought out from the back room, some nice
Masai shirts and bead necklaces. We all stood and prayed together then down the
hill we drove finding our way in the dark night. </span></div>
<br /><span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>In
the darkness Pastor Musa tells us that they are planning a ministry school the
first week of December this year and asked that I come back and teach for the
week, last year there were just over 600 pastors and church leaders and they
say this year there will be more. The great news for me was not so much the
invitation but they said that they would pay for $200 of my ticket. Now that
was so great for me, not the money in itself; but the fact that they would
invest. I had been talking about that this whole week - about becoming
investors. My heart is pleased. </span><br />
<br /><span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>So
I will be travelling back to Masai land to be a part of that week. I still do
need about $500 balance for the ticket, anyone interested in investing? Anyone
want to come with me?</span><br />
<br /><span lang="EN-US">----------------------------------------------</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
driver shows up and we are off. We say our goodbyes to Pastor Musa’s family, who
are inviting us back again. We are now off to Tanzania, Mark is excited about
going home, Pastor Musa and James decided that they would like to accompany us.
So we all drive off, this is only supposed to be like a three hour trip. Well,
it turned out to be a 8 hour trip. One more flat tire in the first hour. We
then stopped at the next village, to fix the tire and get some diesel. We did
not get far down the road and we got yet another flat. With no spare we had to
take the whole tire a part there on the side of the road and patch it. An hour
later we all got in the car but now the car would not start. The sun was on its
way down. </span></div>
<br /><span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
am not a mechanic and neither is Dr. Rick, he is a dentist, remember. Well Dr.
Rick is getting a little nervous because we are in the middle of nowhere and
sleeping in this car is now looking like a real possibility. Dr. Rick was good,
he did not complain; for me, I figured out it was something to do with the
battery connection. But all I did achieved nothing, the sun was down by now,
but here comes a car flying down the road. Our savior. This new guy got the car
going but we decided that we should go with this new guy for his car was in
good running order. After 30 minutes of talking we all piled into this new car
and headed for the border. The owner of the broken down car, now running, would
have to slowly make his way to Mark’s village. That if he makes it at all…</span><br />
<br /><span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>All
the roads out here are rough dirt roads; during the rains no one even travels
these roads. We reach the boarder around 10 pm. There is a pole across the small
road, a police officer allows us into Tanzania. Into the little house to get
our passports stamped. They say we cannot stamp your passport we are only
police, you will have to go to the next village which is about 100km away to
the immigration office. “Are you sure we can go in without a stamp?” I asked,
“No problem,” they replied. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">We quickly
drank a cup of tea in the little sleeping town and on the road again. It was
midnight now and we arrive just outside of Mark’s village. The main road does
not go through the village so we walked about 1 mile or so to reach Mark’s
house through the bush. The night air was cold, millions of stars shining in
all their glory. We could hear a few hyenas in the hills. As we walked Mark
began to talk about the three lions that came last year to take a cow. These
lions came around each day for three days waiting their chance to take a few
cows. Mark and his brother were sitting having tea and they looked at each
other and could hear them in the bush, they said that is enough. They each
grabbed their mkuki, or spear, and clubs and off they went. Two Masai verses
three lions, that sounds like good odds to me. After killing two lions the
third ran away. </span></div>
<br /><span lang="EN-US">Then Mark
continues to tell us that one of the ways that Masai show their bravery is to
cut the tail off an adult elephant. He said this is the ultimate challenge. Killing
a lion is for small boys - but elephants…. For lions are all left “handed” meaning
that all its striking power is in that front left leg so if you can take out
that foot with the first spear, the rest is “easy”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<br /><span lang="EN-US">All I could
do is agree, what else should I do? My own mind flashed back when I was charged
by a lion, I was trying to think about the front left leg but all I knew then
was to stay calm and shoot if necessary. This male lion stopped just a few
meters away from us and turned and walked away. I don’t think I wet my pants
that day, well maybe just a little….</span><br />
<br /><span lang="EN-US">Mark shared
his full experience of cutting the tail off an elephant and assured us he would
never do it again, “Suicide,” he said. Mark has killed 5 lions thus far, mostly
in protection of the cattle. When we were at Pastor Musa’s village one of the
warriors was killed by a lion, it happens even to the Masai. Marks uncles leg
(bottom half) was taken off by a lion when he was a young warrior. His uncle
made a wooden stump and still goes on today. I will likely see him tomorrow; he
lives next door to Mark.</span><br />
<br /><span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>We
made our way into Mark’s little house to <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>find the bed. I
could tell that Mark wanted to ask something but he was a bit embarrassed.
“C’mon Mark spit it out,” Well Mark did not have a clue what I just said so I
had to rephrase that sentence. Mark politely asks if I didn’t mind sharing a
bed with Dr. Rick. It is either that or just sleeping on a cow hide on the
floor, I chose the bed. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dr. Rick and I smiled
at each other and laid down some basic rules and we were off to bed!</span><br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Day
8<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span></b><span lang="EN-US">Today is
marked day, an important day to the Masai. They come to this market from miles
away. Many will walk easily 30km or about 20 miles to come. The life of the
Masai is all focused on their livestock. Each animal plays an important role. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>At
the market they bring their animals to sell or trade. It is mostly all done in
auction style. It is amazing to me how they all know which animal is mine and which
one is his. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>A
goat or sheep will go for about $30-$50. Younger cows go for about $150-$200. A
mature bull goes for around $500 and up. Even the cattle are survivors, it is a
special breed.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">The cow is life for the Masai; it is not
only for the milk, meat, the skin, but it is their main source of income, it is
their survival, it’s their very identity, their pride, their statement to other
tribes, it is also relationship, the cattle brings prestige and power, a good
name or a bad name.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>This
is so important to understand when working with the Masai. We as outsiders just
look at the cow as a cow and that is as far as it goes but if you are going to
work among the Masai and do not acknowledge their highest value ‘the cow’; they
will not respect you. So when preaching or teaching I will always try to bring
up this value ‘the cow’ and incorporate it. The whole entire life of the Masai
is valued around the cow. Often the older boys will be out with the cattle for
a whole year before coming home. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
sad part is that this value or very strength of the Masai ‘the cow’ is also a
big weakness for them. Difficult to understand but the cow is more valued than
their own children. (Boys become valued around age 12-15, girls become valued
around age 8-12, more on this later.) The men value the cow more than his wife
or wives, the women struggle very much with this of course because they are
forced somehow according to culture and tradition to value the cow more than
their own children. The cow is valued more than education, even the health of
family.</span></div>
<br /><span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Now
bringing in the gospel is crucial to understanding this value. I heard a Masai chief
say that he had a hard time excepting the white man’s religion called
Christianity because their God does not have room for the cow.</span><br />
<br /><span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let’s look at my good friend Mark. When he
sold one or two of his cows to build his church he was ridiculed, mocked and
lots of shame was spoken to him by the whole community. But year after year
Mark has held strong, he has started three churches now out of his own small
herd. He sells at least one cow every year to help support the conferences that
we started 6 years ago. Witchdoctors have tried to put spells over Mark but he
stands strong. Mark has a strong faith, a deep conviction in his spirit and a strong
love and vision for his people. He is looking for motorcycle now to take him
around all his ministry points. If you are interested in supporting Mark please
get in touch.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Meanwhile
back at the ranch these cows are getting restless because our driver is still
not here. I can see in Dr. Rick’s eyes from time to time that we need to ditch
this guy. The problem is this is like the only vehicle around for hundreds of
miles so we are at the mercy of this vehicle.</span></div>
<br /><span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
market was full of Masai, imagine that. They came in all shapes and colours.
Out here in the rural areas they are all thin and fit. Many of the men are tall
and fair looking. It is very common that the men wear ear rings. Some times
their ears hang so low that they can actually tie them in a knot. I saw a guy once
with a small plastic container in his ear, maybe he kept his tobacco in it. </span><br />
<br /><span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Oh
yes I forgot to mention that we did get yet another flat tire on the way here
to the market. This guy needs some new tires. </span><br />
<br /><span lang="EN-US">Dr. Rick was
busy pulling out teeth so he did not get much time to walk around the market. I
enjoy walking around and watching everything and see how it all works. The
Masai on the outside can look to be a simple people but the opposite is quite
true. Their culture is deep with tradition, beliefs, and certain ethical
behavior must be followed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is very
complicated really. There are about 7 stages that each Masai goes through in
life starting at a young age. Stages for girls are different for the boys. I
don’t know but the Masai know which girls are married or not by the types of
beads they wear. When a woman is pregnant she wears something different, if she
is the 1<sup>st</sup> or 2<sup>nd</sup> wife it is something different again,
it just goes on and on. It may be a bit of a boring thing for you but I find it
all fascinating learning to understand so I can in turn help them understand.
It often takes an outsider to actually show you your own worldview and mindset.</span><br />
<br /><span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>As
we headed back to Pastor Musa’s house about an hour's drive we saw zebra and
wildebeests’ grazing on the open plains. When I am out here like this I wonder
why in the world do I live in Kabwe town, the beauty out here is just
fantastic. Anyway I hope to get home without a flat, we have no spares and then
we have to take the whole tire apart out here and this is not fun. </span><br />
<br /><span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Actually
we passed a witchdoctors house on the way here this morning, he has 39 wives. A
powerful man in the spirit world and has lots of respect and feared by the
community. The community got together a few weeks ago and sacrificed 49 cows to
honor him and thank him for all he has done. They also know that this gives him
more authority in the spirit world over the life of the community. Hard to
explain all this but when one’s eyes are open the spirit world is very much
alive. Talk about a book. I have seen and heard stuff here that challenges the
best of us.</span><br />
<br /><span lang="EN-US">When we met
this man he was sitting talking with some of the community elders, I greeted
him in Swahili. As we drove off I encouraged Pastor Musa and James to invite
him over for tea some time and build a relationship with him. With a bit reluctance
and fear they agreed, although Mark was all up for it, but Mark lives quite far
from here in Tanzania, we shall go to his place tomorrow.</span><br />
<br /><span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>This
evening we are off to pastor James’ house. He lives high up in the hills, we
look forward to it.</span><br />

Musa’s house is located just under a ridge, so the clouds were still sitting on
top the ridge. It is cold here in Masai land this time of year. Thanks to my
good friend John in Seattle area, he bought me a ‘Filson’ jacket. Might as well
have the best, is what they say. It’s the kind tough guys wear. Thanks, John!</span></div>

some chapatis and some chai we were off. Well, we were supposed to be off, but
we had to wait for the driver again. He has had two more flats since yesterday.
This guy I am not too sure about. Our patience is running a bit thin with him. </span><span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">At the clinic
the line is long already. People have come a long way. When a tooth is in pain
your whole life is just not fun. Some have been in pain for months perhaps
years. In the rural areas of Africa there is only one dentist to every 150,000
people, I think it is something like one dentist for every 2,000 in the States.
</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">It is not
uncommon for Masai women to have their front two teeth taken out as a sign of
beauty. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, as they say. Mark’s mother had
her front top two taken out when she was just a girl. Mark’s front bottom two
teeth were taken out when he was just 6 years old. It is a belief that if your
child get this certain disease that the mouth will close, so these teeth are
taken out so that at least you can get food into the mouth. My teeth are not
very good but I still have all mine; thanks to Dr. Rick! </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">I have done my
duty this morning and helped Dr. Rick get set up; it is also my job to take
some pictures of Dr. Rick at work. The plan today was to start our seminar at 9
am. But well, no one is here yet, it wasn’t till 11 that people started showing
up. Time is always coming, right?</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Today was a day of challenges,
encouraging the pastors to create investors in their church and not just
consumers or church goers. Most Africans have become consumers thanks to all the
hand-outs that are given from the West; from the government to the church we
are guilty of this. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">This is the
one of the first things I look for when I am in a group, who are the investors;
and it is with these that I spend my energy. I have spent years investing in
consumers and the fruit has proven to be very little. Even Jesus when he chose
his 12 disciples; they were all doing something before he called them out. I
actually wrote a list of all those I work with and even relate with, which ones
are consumers and which are the investors. This has helped me so much to see
where most of my time was being spent. That list has helped to prioritize my
own time of investment with others. I still ‘love’ everyone but purpose my time
differently.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">A question
that generally always comes up in a group of pastors here, as it did today is
about polygamy. Having more than one wife, is this ok, is it a sin, what do we
do as pastors if a member has more than one wife? I often will introduce myself
letting everyone know that I have only one wife, I get a lot of laughs because
there are many men in the church that will have up to four wives. My father knew
of a man in Liberia where I lived as a kid, this man had 32 wives and like over
a 100 children. I can’t even remember my own 4 girls’ names much-less 100.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">My counsel is
that it is not a sin, but it is better to be a man of one wife, you find it
throughout the bible. No, do not divorce any of your wives, keep them all. Treat
them right etc and no, it is better that you do not be a pastor of a church and
so on. A lot of the counsel that pastors get from Westerners is that if you
have wives, divorce all but the first.
This has brought a lot of confusion in the rural churches of Africa. Now you
have wives with no husbands and kids with no fathers. Who is going to take care
of them? The best is for the husbands to love their wives and kids and take
care of them. Anyway, this is a big thing here among the Masai. Mark’s mother
is the first of four wives. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">The first
wife is always the first lady of the boma or home. She is the boss. It is not
uncommon to have a 50 year old wife and a 18 year old wife. Each wife has her
own house that she is responsible to build. Her house is often round and has a
round top. There is only one tiny window or hole about the size of a tennis
ball. Inside it is all black with years of smoke. There is small room where the
baby goats etc stay, then you go into the bigger room where most of life takes
place. Here is where most of the cooking takes place and the only light comes
from the small fire. The mattress is but a cow hide that is laid on top of a
bed frame made of sticks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All the kids
sleep on one side of the fire and mom and baby sleeps on the other.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">The husband
then stays in his own house, it is generally a square house and he often is the
one that builds his own house. His house is made of mud while her house is made
of cow dung. You may think that this is unfair but it is the cow dung house
that generally lasts longer. There is no smell and easy to patch since all the
cows are home for the night. Your building material is just there in the stall.

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Back
at the clinic Dr. Rick is having a blast, he has not been feeling so good
today, but he is pushing on. I know that he has been keeping his own journal; I
have no idea what he writes about. I am sure my name has and will appear a time
or two, not sure if that is a good thing or bad thing. Maybe I will sneak his
journal into my room and read it through with my new termite friends…. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span><span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
night air is colder tonight with a small rain shower. Speaking of showers we
actually got warm water and took a cup bath. I have been able to take a bath
with three cups of water, four is always better. It is an art. You should try
it just for fun. It is amazing on how little a person can manage on. The Masai
do not take baths very often mostly due to the distance of the waterhole. Once
a week, once a month, even once a year. One thing is that they do wear clean
clothes, these they wash regularly. So we have been treated well here. It is a
lot of work for this household to have these wazungu (white) guys here. Again
thanks to Dr. Rick, we get very special treatment. </span></div>
<br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>In
all this day was great, we had our dinner in the next boma across the way. Had
a full spread. All too good. Tomorrow we go to the local Masai market, we will
do a clinic there as well. </span><br />

<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Pastor Musa
and his wife gave up their room for Dr. Rick, the sons gave up their room for
me. A simple house made of sticks and mud. The cool part of my room is that
there were termites building their home just inside one of the walls next to my
bed. </span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">I spent time
observing these little creatures. They are so busy all the time, there seems to
be no blueprint for their construction; they just all seem to know what their
role is and where they belong. Several years ago when we lived in Tanzania
there were some termites after my girl’s small tree house. You could not see
the termites for they built their tunnel of mud on the outside of the tree
right up to the tree house. I scraped off a section of that tunnel to keep them
from reaching the tree house. The next day a new tunnel was there. Almost every
day I would go and scrape and every morning there was a new tunnel, for like a
year I did this. These things never gave up, they persevered. I was determined
to discourage these guys but they never gave up hope. There are some good
principles we could learn from the termites. </span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">So, in my
little room at Pastor Musa’s place I would watch and learn. They were busy 24/7
all working together in unity to accomplish one mission though having different
goals but all for the “kingdom of the Termites”. Why is it so difficult for us
to work together?? </span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Today is
clinic day and people have been waiting for Dr. Rick to get started. But first
we needed to get to the government clinic which was about 18 km away. Well, we
were promised a vehicle that Mark arranged weeks ago. The car never showed up,
we called the driver on the phone and yes I am on my way, 10 minutes, 20 minutes
go by. 30 minutes later we call him again. This went on for several hours.
Finally after showing up, there was a flat tire, so now getting out the pump
and pumping up the tire. Needless to say we got started a bit late…</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Clinic now
set up and a few people start coming through. It did not take me long to realize
that this was not my cup of tea! But I was a good boy and helped the Dr. get
things set up and work with him for a bit, then I was off to teach a group of
pastors in a seminar just up the trail. </span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">One of the
things that I have experienced here in the churches and working with the local
pastors is that many of them do not really know or understand the purpose of
the church, so this was my goal for these several days with these pastors. As I
was walking out my house in Zambia to go to the airport, out of the corner of
my eye on the bookshelf I saw Rick Warren’s book, ‘Purpose Driven Church’. I
picked it up and this book was a big help to me and the direction I felt the
Lord wanted us to go. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Over the next
hour and a half most of the 35 pastors showed up and we started. We started
with that very question, ‘What is the purpose of the Church’? In their small
groups there was heated discussion and for the next 4-5 hours we broke all this
down and had a great time together. It always takes time to get locals to ask
questions, but when you can get them started the questions are continuous.
Tomorrow we will continue along this same track.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">

<span lang="EN-US">Questions like, ‘What do we do with witchcraft that is in the
church’? ‘How can I get my church members to give more?’ ‘How do I build a
church, if there is no money?’ and so on. At least a few of these questions are
no different than those of pastors in the west.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="border: currentColor; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext 1.5pt; mso-padding-alt: 0cm 0cm 1.0pt 0cm; padding: 0cm; text-indent: 36pt;">

<span lang="EN-US">Late in the afternoon Dr. Rick has his equipment all packed up and
ready for home, but where is the vehicle now? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Oh the driver went somewhere, he will be
right back.” So we went to a near-by town center that had about 7 small houses
and sat down for a cup of chai (tea). </span></div>
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">When with the
Masai you learn quickly that chai is a part of one’s diet. The Masai do not
drink much water; for many Masai their water source is miles away. For Pastor
Musa’ family; his wife walks 2 km, just over a mile, to get their water. In
Marks village you need to go 7 km to get water. Now one may wonder why they
don’t move closer to the water hole? Good question. I have asked the question
for years and still do actually.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">In rural
areas throughout Africa the waterhole is a very important part of society, not
just for the sake of water but also for social reasons. It is along the trail
to and from the waterhole that relationships are developed, women talk of life,
their children, husbands, their cows, community, hard times; counseling takes
place along the trail. That trail is really the trail of life for women and is
crucial for their well-being.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">But what
happens now when a Westerner comes in with a great idea of putting in a borehole
or well. We have not taken the time to understand what take place on this trail
of life that leads to the waterhole. Rather we come and look at these poor
people who have to walk so far to get water. We see this need and we need to
fix it, so we put in a well for them. But what have we just done to the soul of
the African woman? She has just lost a major source of life which takes place
on the trail. Westerners are thinking of time wasted but for locals time is
always coming.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Of course the
women are going to come to the pump which is now only a few hundred meters away
from their house, I would too. But this brilliant idea which is based on
‘truth’ has just disrupted a value system built on relationships. </span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">‘Truth’ says
time is important when ‘relationship’ says my social environment is important.
Truth is not interested in relationship really; my relationship with you is
completely built on trust, no trust/truth - no relationship. </span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">I non-western
societies, relationship is not really interested in truth; my truth with you is
completely built on our relationship, no relationship = no trust, completely
the opposite. It is not uncommon for a local to lie about you and even directly
to you for the sake of keeping our relationship strong. This is so hard for
westerners to deal with because of our highest value being truth, where for
non-western societies their highest value is relationship. Although in the West
the value of truth is really changing these days.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Not sure if
all that makes sense to you, but it was a big help for me after years of
seeking for that understanding. Maybe it can help you as well.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Anyway back
to water, it’s not uncommon for the Masai to not drink water for two or three
days, Mark was once without water for 7 days. This is during dry season when
there is no water; all the waterholes have been dried up. This is often when
the Masai will drink the blood of a cow and mix it with goats’ milk. This
practice is not just during a ceremony but also for survival. I have seen so
many times these young boys out on the Serengeti plains for days with no water
or food. The Masai are just a tough race. They are born tough, raised tough,
and live tough; they have to, in order to survive. There is so much to say
along these lines but many readers get tired so I will end it here.</span></div>

generally used in the tea, cow’s milk is too precious for mixing in your tea.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-US">A good healthy
cow will only give about 1 liter of milk a day here; in the Western world a
good cow will give 20+ liters a day, a big difference. Cow’s milk is used for
making a thin sour yogurt; it is used for special tribal ceremonies. It is also
used as an offering for the dead ancestors; placed on the grave to appease the
spirit of the deceased. Without this offering several times a year it is
believed that bad things will come to the family. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">The milk of
the cow is the top honor that a guest could receive. Milk is highly valued. It
is stored in gourds; these gourds are often decorated with beads. These gourds
also need to be cleaned, hot ash and charcoal is used to clean out the bacteria
etc. This then also give a smokey taste to the milk, so you have smoke flavored
milk, smoke flavored yogurt, even smoke flavored tea. Now that is one flavor
that Starbucks does not have, the Masai are one up on Starbucks!! Maybe I
should market that flavor and raise money for our missions support, what do you
think?</span><br />

<span lang="EN-US">The church
service is full; ladies generally all sit on the left and the men on the right side.
There is one thing about the African people which I love; it is that they know
how to celebrate in song and dance, now that is something that we Westerners
could get a dose of in our churches. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">A thing that
is unique to the Masai traditional music is that there are no drums, where in
most of the African culture there is always a drum somewhere. What is also
interesting is that when the music is playing most people move with the music
side to side, but the Masai go front to back. There are times when the men will
just begin to leap high into the air showing their strength and celebration.
This practice is used throughout the Masai culture.</span><br />

a short word of encouragement and showed the church where he lives on the
globe. Most Masai women in the area have not been out beyond those hills over
there, the men get out a lot more due to taking their cattle for many weeks looking
for greener pasture. So for the Masai to see Dr. Rick blow up <a href="http://www.blogger.com/" name="_GoBack"></a>this
plastic globe, that in itself was quite an experience. </span><br />

<span lang="EN-US">Today I spoke
on the ‘Mind’. This is our biggest enemy, you know. All the lies we believe and
live by. Wrong mindsets are lies that keep a person down, and there are many. I
tried to show that poverty is not a money thing rather it is a mindset thing.
The Masai may have hundreds of cows which are worth lots, yet they believe they
are poor. This poverty mindset has cursed the African race for generations, we
whites feed that lie because of our own mindset that says that Africans are
poor, so we, the west treats them that way. It is a vicious cycle. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">The bible speaks
a lot on the mind. The corrupt mind, un-renewed mind, passive mind, the carnal
mind; but we are to put on the mind of Christ. It all starts in the mind,
everything. From there is goes to the heart, then eventually goes back out
through the mouth. In the end we all prayed for our minds and broke the curse
of the lie and then spoke truth to our minds. There are many superstitions that
the Masai live under. For the most part these are all lies that have been
passed down for generations which keep fear in the hearts and give authority to
spiritual powers. Romans 12:2 says that “Transformation comes from the renewing
of the Mind.” </span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<span lang="EN-US"> After the
service was over there were lots of handshakes and thank you(s). Now that the
driver was actually in church this morning, we have a ride home. He did have
another flat tire last night actually. Speaking of being poor, this poor guy
needs to get some new tyres… </span><br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Day
4</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Today we need
to buy some supplies before heading to the village, a mini burner to sterilize
the dental instruments after use, drinking water, a few chocolate bars to keep
the taste buds happy... A couple of other things and down to the bus stand to
find some transport. We did find a small station wagon type vehicle, which it
looked like it had been in Africa a long time. Africa has this effect on all
vehicles; they just have this look about them that says, ‘Please, not another
day.’</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">The car fully
packed and off we went, passed through parts of Masai Mara, one of Kenya’s
wildlife parks. The road was paved but soon we turned on a dirt road that quickly
seemed to get smaller and smaller. We saw some zebra and wildebeest or gnu, a few
giraffe and of course the Masai shepherds out on the plains with their sheep,
goats and cattle. It is not hard to spot a Masai for he is generally always
wearing the red shuka (cloth wrap) and carries nothing but a spear and a stick.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">The young
boys (ages 5-10) are responsible for the sheep and goats and the older boys
(11-16) are responsible for the cattle. The women who are also herders are
responsible for the donkeys and all the milking of both goats and cows. The
milking takes place back in the boma or the homes. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">You do not
see many young girls out and about, very rare actually; they are back at home
taking care of house chores and their younger siblings. They are also
responsible for the baby sheep, goats and cows.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is interesting but all the lambs, kids and calves sleep in the little
mud houses for their first two months. This is for protection but it also
builds closeness to people. The Masai have a very close relationship with and great
respect for their animals. As mentioned before the cow is the Masai’s highest
value. This of course has a bad side to it as well, which I will get back to on
a later day.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Everything
here is still green for the heavy rains have just stopped about a week ago, we
pass through a few small few villages as we make our way to our destination.
Well, the car starts to overheat. Driver says, “No it is ok, it happens all the
time.” So we stop the car and out the door he goes with a water bottle in hand.
Off through the bush like he knew where he was going. 10 minutes later he
appears with bottle full of water that he got from a nearby stream. Put water
in the radiator and away we went.<br /><br /> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Beautiful rolling
hills and a blue sky as far as you could see, scattered Acacia trees dotted the
landscape, the poor car crying all the way leaving clouds of dust in the review
mirror, how good can it get? Feels like home to me, not sure what Dr. Rick was
thinking. Mark and James were glad to be out of the city and heading back into
their world, the open plains of Masai land.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">One thing I
have learned to appreciate Mark for is his care for me and my guests. He has
always been very caring. He knows that I am somewhat African so he is not
worried about me but cares for me. Now my guests; he worries about them. Always
asking me how they are doing. He is so often on his phone talking away in
Ki-Masai, making sure things are ready here and there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He planned that we stop and greet a small
group of believers in a church who were meeting. A quick greeting and off we
drove for another hour. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Finally we
pulled off onto another yet a smaller dirt trek so I knew we must be close, a
few minutes later we arrived at Pastor Musa’s home. He and his family all came
out to greet us and welcomed us into their home. I had met Pastor Musa some
years back, for he has always made his way to Mark’s village for the big
conferences we have had there. Pastor Musa is an older man and there is a lot
of respect for him among the younger pastors like Mark and James. </span></div>

</tbody></table>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Pastor Musa
raised up his boys in a very nontraditional Masai way. Young Masai boys are
taught to be rough and tough mentality and physically. When they become a Moran
or warrior in their tribe, many of these young warriors are rude, violent, and
ready to kill if need be. So Pastor Musa’s sons grew up with a different picture
and of course criticism from the community but I will say that these two boys
are smart, educated, and have a great future ahead of them. They also know how
to serve their mother in the kitchen and home duties which to a Masai man is usually
a big taboo.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">I have been
talking to Mark about serving his mother and his wife to be, (he plans to get
married this December) that he needs to help her in the house, do the dishes
and even go and get water. Well Mark struggles with this lots, especially
thinking about doing some house chores. “Simba there is a lot that I can do; I
will protect her from lions and hyenas, but not the kitchen…”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US">Sounds like many men all over the world…
Anyway, I take my hat off to Pastor Musa for a commendable job that he has done
for his boys, even his daughter was not given to marriage till age 24 and she
got to choose her own husband; now that is not at all Masai culture. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>This
is a whole other thing to write about but girls are very often promised to a
man at age 8-10, and then married by the time they are 12-13. Many of these
girls become not the first wife but very often become the 2<sup>nd</sup> or
even 4<sup>th</sup> wife. There is a whole book that can be written around the
life of a Masai woman. It is a complicated life for them, not easy but it has
been this way for hundreds of years, perhaps thousands and old traditions are
hard to break. A lie told long enough becomes believed truth and this is how it
is in the Masai world, many living under a lie. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>When
I work among the Masai I never condemn their culture; rather I may challenge
their culture with a biblical perspective. I have discovered that many of the
Masai pastors just don’t know of another way, they have never been shown
another way, so this is where I see my role has been over the years, to walk
with them through this process of discipleship. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>An
example is that the Masai circumcise their girls about the age of 12-13. Now we
Westerners get angry at this, but we also do not understand it, so it is easy
to judge another tradition from our own traditional perspective. We need to
understand this tradition not from a right or wrong perspective but rather from
a Masai perspective.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">To a Masai
girl this is a big stage for her to enter into, a very important stage for her.
It gives her identity and self-respect. It gives her honor not only from other
women but also from the man. Now it is not good to just rock up in my Western
ideas and start condemning this practice which happen all too often, rather I
have taken the time to try to understand this practice and speak into it from a
relational angle rather than a right and wrong angle. Now I have been able to
slowly back into this tradition and talk about it from a biblical perspective. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">I so want the
Holy Spirit to bring the correction and not some white guy people call Simba. I
am learning that you cannot really reach people you do not understand. Pastors
at times need to get out of the pulpit and try to understand the very people
they are trying to reach. It is so easy to get stuck in our offices; we often
don’t feel the heart needs of the ones we live among.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">The Masai
culture is so deep in traditions and rules, more on this in the coming days.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Pastor Musa’s
wife cooked a fantastic meal for us, and under the flickering glow of a few
candles we enjoyed our dinner. The moon is almost full and the night air is
nice and cool. I can hear the cry of a distant hyena; it is nice to be back in
Masai land once again. Thank you Lord.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Once
again we were up early, ate a few tasty mangos for breakfast and off to board a
bigger bus this time and off we were again north to Nairobi. Now Dr. Rick was
up and ready to go, “Jetlag - what is that?” he said. Well, not far down the
bumpy road I felt sorry for him, his poor head was rocking like he was listing
to some heavy metal rock band from the 80’s!! I did not even have a pillow to
offer the guy. Anyway, he will get over it - I hope…</span></div>

into the traffic of Nairobi, black exhaust spewing from vehicles; cars
everywhere and piki piki’s – motorcycles - were diving in from every direction,
down the center lanes. They were going faster and that was just not fair,
right? So secretly in my little evil brain, (or what is left of it..) I was
wanting to see some truck driver open his door right as one of these corkers
was passing, it was not like we were driving fast. If you were there I am sure
you would have secretly wanted to see the same thing. The good part of all this
is that if it did actually happen we would feel sorry for the guy and go and
help him right, after all, I have Dr. Rick with me and at least he could pull
some of the broken teeth from this poor fellow. I never did ask Dr. Rick what
he was thinking. Dr. Rick…?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Anyway
for two hours we slowly made our way to another bus station, crammed our stuff
into another minibus and after an hour of waiting, off we drove. Dr. Rick and I
in the front, Mark and James were mashed in the back with their now new family
whom they had never met before. All strangers but they seemed content. This is
a 10 passenger van, but hey, 15 will fit just fine. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>We
were making our way out of Nairobi to a town called Narock. Well, you can’t get
anywhere without some kind of problem. The timing belt was making noise, but
you don’t stop and see what you can do to prevent a potential problem you just
keep going and pray. The louder the noise the louder you pray. This is how many
locals attempt to fix their problems. Now most Westerners are ‘prevention’
thinkers, looking for a way to keep a problem from occurring in the first
place. Africans in many ways are ‘God will fix it’ thinkers, so prevention and
maintenance are not very strong initiatives. These two types of thinking
patterns have brought many a frustrations for the locals and the outsiders who
work together.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Anyway,
we eventually reach a town and park next to a shop. The driver disappears
without a word for at least 30 minutes. Finally he comes back with a so-called
mechanic with a timing belt. Well, the timing belt is not for this type of vehicle
but we will make it work, so with a sharp knife and some good carving skills
the belt eventually fit. And off we drove again hoping to reach Narock before
the sun gets too low.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
didn’t ask Dr. Rick too many questions other than small talk. Sometimes people
just need their space to process everything going on around them, although we
talked a bit about life in Africa and some of the challenges of mission life. There
is a few…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"></span>We
arrived just in time for the prayer call from the Mosque just down the street
from our guest house. The Mosque definitely made a statement in this community;
it was if to say Islam is here and here to stay. This mosque demanded your
respect somehow. A green glass dome seemed to be watching everything going on.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>East
Africa is about 45% Islam and another 45% Christian, the remaining 10% is local/animist
beliefs. There are still many superstitions that lie deep within the soul of an
African, Christians included. I have never met an atheist in Africa, I don’t think
there is any such thing. Many laugh at the idea that some people believe that
we have come from monkeys, they think this is too foolish to believe, such
rubbish.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Throughout East
Africa and especially along the coastal region, Islam definitely has it’s
strongholds in certain areas. But for the most part in East Africa, Islam and
Christianity live side by side in peace. The struggles come when Christians
begins to take a stand. We have Christian friends who have taken a stand and
they have gone through serious levels of persecution. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">If you held a
high position in Islam, and become a Christian, your salvation is anything but free;
it costs you everything and still some. Maybe this is why we have so many half-committed
Christians around; their Christianity costs them nothing really so they don’t
really value it. Perhaps we all need to go through some religious persecution
from time to time, it is spiritually healthy, it makes you mature and go deep,
if you don’t you will not make it. The west has no idea what millions sacrifice
everyday to be called Christian. The sermons of today are all about prosperity
and how God will bless my life. Tell that to the man who is on the run for his
life because he was just baptized, or perhaps the persecution he experiences is
because he just does not have enough faith…</span></div>

proclaims its prayers five times a day, building its authority in the lives and

over the minds of the community. Now you take a town like Arusha let’s say, it
has approximately 70 mosques x 5 times per day, that is 350 times. This is 2,450
per week, 10,500 per month and 127,750 times a year. Getting the point, now we
wonder why Islam is such a stronghold. Istanbul in Turkey has 2,900 mosques x 5
= 14,500 <a href="" name="_GoBack"></a>times a day. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Istanbul (former Constantinople) used to be a
Christian stronghold, It all happened because the Christians didn’t do much other
that talk; now Islam dominates Turkey. What is happening in your nation? We
also need to be a people of proclamation, not just churchgoers, Amen!</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Eating our
continental breakfast, Mark was looking out the hotel window and observing the
tall buildings in the city. He made some comments which made it clear to me that
he had never been in a tall building. So off we went to find the
tallest building. Now Mark and James not being city boys knew nothing of city
life. All the traffic and people, they were talking that if they could have one
cow for every person they saw they would have more cows than the chief himself.
(Cows being the highest value in Masai culture)</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">We stepped
onto an elevator and the doors closed. Now Mark and James stood in still<a href="http://www.blogger.com/" name="_GoBack"></a> silence, button pushed and up we went. Now these two lion
killing warriors were as nervous as a two little boy’s first trip to school on
a school bus. They took hands and held tightly as we climbed only about 16
levels. Out the door we found a set of stairs that would take us to the outside
roof top. With a smile and few words the security guard let us go on top the
roof floor.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">With
amazement the two looked around and could see the city below, they talked of
the small mountain by their village where they could also see far away things,
after a few minutes down the elevator we went. We made our way back into the
city streets, I exchanged some money into the Kenya currency called the
‘Shilling’. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Over lunch
Mark tells me that the roads are still very wet and muddy through the Serengeti.
Some busses have been stuck for three even five days in the mud, so it is
better for us to go to get Dr. Rick in Arusha Tanzania and then come back to
Kenya and take the north route down to Lashota village were the seminar and
first dental clinics will take place.</span></div>
<span lang="EN-US">Now getting
stuck in the Serengeti may sound like the worst thing to you, but for me that
would be great, all the “lions, tigers and bears” around? A bit of paradise for
some days, sure it is not a five star lodge but I did bring my small tent,
besides who needs a lodge when you have a tent?</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Mark, why did
you not tell me this before? I would have also flown to Arusha and saved time
and money? Well, that conversation got me nowhere. Here, I have learned to just
be flexible every day and all day because things change every day and all day.
Getting frustrated and angry gets you absolutely nowhere; it changes nothing and
no one so just go with the flow. Yes, it will cost you more money in the end
but somewhere it will be made up to you again.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">I left two of
my bags at the hotel counter and off to find a minibus that would take us to
Arusha TZ, some four hours’ drive away. Now taking a bus in - at least this
part of - Africa is always an adventure. I usually try to get a front seat,
because I know that there are 8 seats in the back of these minivans but putting
two or even three per seat is not uncommon. Only two are allowed in the front
seat because the police only look at the front seat, they look the other way
when it comes to the back seats. Not always, but often they just hold out their
hand and expect a bit of “chai money” because ‘driver you are a bad boy and you
should know better. Now I could take you to your mother and give you a spanking,
but let’s just keep it simple.’ A few coins later we are off again. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLa8trn-6UAcDAqWXfiWUA7qw9fDZ6qe3r_miUZqSUsVtt9h2TOtUiQKVJ_gwPhxwYePsnAcvT96o5uVgGcQfqjf5aLtws9MLPIKlgf_CHgIHRsJtpXfU0BK5broG7yTA-F7Ioz-VkqdE/s1600/Day+2+(2).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLa8trn-6UAcDAqWXfiWUA7qw9fDZ6qe3r_miUZqSUsVtt9h2TOtUiQKVJ_gwPhxwYePsnAcvT96o5uVgGcQfqjf5aLtws9MLPIKlgf_CHgIHRsJtpXfU0BK5broG7yTA-F7Ioz-VkqdE/s320/Day+2+(2).JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<span lang="EN-US">Now a Westerner
would call this a ‘bribe’ but it isn’t called that here, that is a bad word
here in Africa. It is called ‘chai’ or ‘tipping’; hey, we are all friends here,
and you are just tipping me for doing such a great job for you. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">Right or
wrong, or what we would call ‘truth’ in the West is not the issue here it is
all about relationship, it is about “I take care of you and you take care of me”.
A lot to say about this issue, truth vs relationship but time does not permit.
Understanding these two different value systems alone is huge for anyone who
works in this part of the world.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Well, our
little sardine can on wheels makes its way through the southern part of Kenya,
across the border and now into Tanzania. Making our way to Arusha where we will
meet Dr. Rick at about 9:30 pm at the Kilimanjaro Airport.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">For your
interest, Arusha is the place for the ultimate wildlife safari; from here you
can reach Mt. Kilimanjaro, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and many other
wildlife parks. The 2<sup>nd</sup> largest part of the Tanzanian income is
through tourism. It is not hard to pick out a tourist. Most are Mzungu or White
man, they often wear some type of safari clothes they spent a mint on, back in
a mall somewhere in their home country. They are often followed by a group of
young men trying to sell them something or looking for a free trip to the West.
</span></div>
<span lang="EN-US">I am often
mistaken for a tourist although I don’t wear safari clothes; my broken Swahili
tells everyone that I am more local than a tourist here. My mzungu tee-shirt
always brings a smile and a few comments. (It is a shirt that says Mzungu on it,
meaning ‘white man.’)</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Arusha is in
the highlands and surrounded by several mountains, lots of moisture but not far
out from the mountain area it gets dry with hardly a tree in sight. It is in
the drier areas where the cattle Masai generally live, where their cattle are
free to graze over the millions of acres of grassland.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Mark, James
and I make our way to the YWAM (Youth With a Mission) base. It is at this base
where I first met Mark six year ago. </span></div>
<span lang="EN-US">When Mark was
invited to come to do his training or DTS at YWAM his tuition was paid for but
he had to get there at his own expense. Well, he lives about 300 km or 240
miles away, so what do you do, well you do what most people do, stay home and pray
for God to send you money. Not Mark, he picked up his Masai stick and throw on
his red Masai Shuka or thin blanket and started walking. No water or food
accompanied him, just a heart that was full of expectation for what was in
store for him. Now Masai are not your normal people, walking is a part of life.
Walking 20 plus km or 12 miles every day is normal. </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US">Not many days
later Mark arrives at the YWAM base ready for school, a few days late but hey I
just walked 240 miles. It was several years later when Mark was taking another
course there with YWAM that we met. When living in Tanzania I would teach there
at YWAM, I often taught on Spiritual Warfare. During one of his break times he
stood outside my classroom window and listened in, he skipped most of his own
classes that week and stood outside the window listening in. It was the Friday
after my week when he introduced himself and invited me to Masai land. It did
not take me long to realize that Mark was not your average guy. So this is
where and how I met up with Mark Murenje, my Masai friend. Now you know “the
rest of the story.”</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Well, we
borrowed a car and off to the airport where we collected Dr. Rick and all his
dental equipment, looked like he was going to start a dental practice or
something…</span></div>
<span lang="EN-US">Dr. Rick was
tired, but ready to get started. He has taken several trips into India and also
to South America, but this was his first time to Africa. Not sure he really
knew what he was getting himself into, but he was willing, willing enough to
take that step.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">I leave you
this day and ask the question if you are willing? Not just willing but willing
enough to take that step. Yes, it is a risk, it always is, but that is faith.
Some of you have had that deep cry in your heart to go, but you have not taken
that step. Start that 240 mile journey as Mark did, it all starts with the
first step. God is so alive and real, there are things of God you will never
discover in church, it is only out on the journey. “There is no revival, where
there is no risk.”</span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">It’s that
time again; I pack my bags and head to Masai land. In the past I have driven
from here in Zambia which is 4 full days of travel just to get there, but this
time I am alone so I will fly as far as I can. I will be meeting up with Dr.
Richard who has a dental practice in Washington State and we will travel
together, doing dental clinics and ministry. Dr. Rick has been a supporter of
ours for many years now so a big thank you to you, sir. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">The plan is to fly to Nairobi, Kenya and
bus it to Arusha, Tanzania to collect Dr. Rick there, and then we take a bus up
to Masai land through the Serengeti plains. This drive is always full of wildlife
and adventure, especially by bus. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">My plan is to make my way back to
Nairobi, Kenya in the end but I am not holding my breath on this one. Anything
can happen; all the unknowns is half the adventure. If everything went
according to plan, what ‘fun’ would it be, right?</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">I will miss
the family as I always do, but my kids know that daddy goes to help others, so
they are learning to understand the value of helping others.</span></div>
<span lang="EN-US"> With a few smiles
mixed with tears, I wave goodbye and head off to the security check in the airport;
it is the moment that one just pushes through. You don’t want to think about
that hard goodbye, so you just get on with it. This is the hardest moment of my
leaving away from home. Jette and the girls wave goodbye also with a smile and
a tear. The only good part about that tear is that it means there is love
there, something many spouses and kids do not have at home. I love you, Jette,
thanks for all your support to me. I got a great lady that stands beside me.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Well, I better get out of here or I will
miss my plane, see you in Nairobi…..</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span><span lang="EN-US">I flew out early
afternoon to Nairobi, Kenya to meet up with Mark, my Masai friend, whom many of
you have read about over the years. He met me at the Nairobi airport with smiles
and hugs. Mark introduced me to Pastor James and another friend, both of whom
were Masai. I had met Pastor James at the previous conference in Tanzania two years
ago; James greeted me also with hugs and smiles. This other Masai I had not met
before, he lives in Nairobi. Little did I know at that moment when I met him, that
his life would change forever that night.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">We tucked ourselves
into a taxi and off to the big city of Nairobi in search of a hotel for the
night. After hours of traffic - not just vehicle traffic, but people traffic,
we found a reasonable place, threw our things on the bed and off to find
something to eat.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">In the East African
culture especially, people are a very social people at night so the streets are
always full, not only in the city but in the rural villages as well. People by
the thousands just fill the streets to eat from the small venders selling on
the streets, chicken, chips (French fries), fruits, tea or chai, chapati and
soups, and then there are some things you are just not too sure what it is…</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">I chose the
chicken and chips, and with a coke and a smile we were enjoying the busy
environment. After eating my greasy chicken and chips and wishing to clean my
gizzard out with a cold coke we made our way through the crowds back to the hotel.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"> Back in the room this other Masai guy that
I had met at the airport, out of the blue said that he had been watching and
listening to Mark and James over the years and that he now wanted to give his
life to the Lord right here and now in the hotel room for it was time. He said,
“I have taken the time to watch and see if what you have said was also how you
lived and now meeting Simba and all that you have said I can see that it is
truth what you say.” </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">I took some
time to share with him so that he understood what salvation was all about. (I
am pretty tough on people when it comes time for salvation; I do not make it too
easy, rather just the opposite. Salvation is generally made too easy for people
so they do not go deep. Then it does not last long, easy come easy go. When you
start talking about a life of surrender and discipleship it goes a lot deeper

<span lang="EN-US">Well, he was
more than convinced that he was ready to take that step of faith, so in our little
room we all knelt down and I had him pray his own prayer of salvation. He sure
did not need to repeat after anyone, the desperate cry that came from deep
within his soul moved us all. After he prayed he said, “I need to go home now
and tell my family”, so out the door he went. Mark knows him well, so he will
follow up on him in the coming days. Mark, James and I had a time of prayer for
our new brother in the Lord and off they went to their room.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">So this was
our first day of a lot more days to come. Another word of thanks and prayer to
the Lord, earplugs in to drown out the noise from the city streets, and I was
out.</span></div>Lyle and Jettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16362321514415610203noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791149028608853588.post-59317068532288081822012-06-07T14:38:00.001-07:002012-06-07T14:38:46.023-07:00Lyle in the Rufiji DeltaHello friends,<br />

<br />
Thank you for your prayers for Lyle and his team on this outreach trip to Tanzania.<br />
Tomorrow Friday, they fly into the remote and not easily accessible Rufiji Delta to conduct two days of medical and dental clinics etc.<br />
Lyle will be traveling for the next nearly two weeks, please keep him in your prayers, and pray for safety also for the girls and I here at home.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is also our 16th wedding anniversary, we'll have to wait about 2 weeks to celebrate it, though...<br />

<br />
Hello all,<br />
In the past two days, I have received a couple of text messages from Lyle, telling a bit about their trip to Masai Land so far...<br />
<br />
<span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3}"> They are back in Tanzania after some days in Kenya. The first day, 15 churche<span class="text_exposed_show">s came together for teaching, then 2 days of teaching and speaking to about 50 church leaders. </span></span><br />
<span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3}"><span class="text_exposed_show"> Also, our dentist friend Doc. Rick has been pulling lots of teeth. Lyle says, if our girls could see all the decay an rotten teeth, they would start brushing their teeth at least 4 times a day... They have 2 more clinic days there. In that area there is only 1 dentist for every 150,000 or more people. Lyle says he still doesn't think he'll ever want to be a dentist... There is always so much work to be done.</span></span><br />
<span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3}"><span class="text_exposed_show"> The trip back across the border took a long time, many hours of waiting because the car that was taking them kept breaking down and the roads are really bad.</span></span><br />
<div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" id="id_4fc921b6e00800310931013">
<span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3}"> Yesterday, they went to the Warrior Ceremony, which is a rare treat since outsiders are very rarely allowed or invited to come.</span><br />
<span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3}"> Lyle and Doc. Rick have to share a bed, "at least it is a mattress, which is softer than the cowhides, that most of the people here sleep on." They mostly get to eat only once a day, but it isn't too bad, he says.</span><br />
<div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" id="id_4fc921b6e00800310931013">
Just now tonight, he said, "We are having dinner with the Masai chief in his mud house, talking about community issues. They have been wanting me to build them a clinic, but I keep encouraging them to build it themselves, they don't need the white man!"</div>
<div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed">
He says he's been getting some great photos, so that will be great to see! He will have many more stories to tell too, when he gets back.</div>
<div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed">
So stay tuned!!</div>

<br />
I just received an sms from Lyle that he has arrived safely in the Masai village near Tanzania's border with Kenya after a long day's bus ride. He is there for two weeks with a dentist friend of ours from Longview, Washington, USA. <br />
Following the ministry there, they will go to the coastal regions south of Dar Es Salaam, to the Rufiji River Delta, which is very remote and largely unreached with the gospel. I will try to keep you updated as I hear from Lyle during the next 4 weeks.<br />
Thank you for your prayers for him and the team as well as for the girls and I back here in Kabwe.<br />
