Gendabi, in the Tanzanian Rift Valley


After hours of traveling both paved roads and dirt, we arrived in the small village of Gendabi, at the foothills of Mt. Hanang. Gorgeous scenery and a mild climate make this a wonderful setting for the 2nd conference in the Dareda valley.

The setting for this conference was quite pleasant. The buildings are wired with electricity and fed by a natural spring. These blessings were left for the locals by the American missionary couple who lived here in the 60’s. They also established a medical clinic and a school system. The local church has been very careful to maintain the institutions and buildings they inherited.
