Full house!

By lunchtime of Day 1, the church building was packed. Seems we forgot to take into account the Tanzanian approach to time. We were well pleased by the turnout. There were many more than we originally anticipated. In fact, we even ran out of the packets of printed material, and had to encourage the pastors to share until a break-time when someone could go to get them photocopied.

Our packets for this first conference contained a Swahili-translated version of an American repentance tool called “The 7 Steps to Freedom” as edited by www.setfreeministries.com
