UPDATE:
The next morning, as we drove through the African plains on our journey back to Arusha, we spotted more of God's beautiful creation.
Most of the homes here are made with mud and stick or with home-made bricks. Their grass roofs are surprisingly sturdy and water-proof; however, they do tend to be the habitation of a few critters, as well.
Pastor Don received a new name from the chairman of the Unity Committee. 
Two more “Tape Talk” Bible players and 4 small “Megavoice” Bible players were given away to pastors who were willing to use them as public evangelism tools. (www.asmtoday.org) These total 18 units installed in the last three months digitally speaking the Word to people who cannot read. Pleasant, though early results were told us from those who already used them for a month. Groups of villagers are forming to listen regularly.
Near the end of the seminar, Susan spoke a prophetic word over the listening pastors. By far the majority of the word was an encouragement, but there was also a solemn warning “There is a wolf here among the sheep.” 
The four of us speakers traded places on the floor seamlessly as the Spirit led. Pastors saw from the rapid change of presenter that no one lecturer insisted on his/her own way. No one demanded the floor. Instead, they heard once from a teacher, then from a prophet, then from an evangelist. 
Pastors Don and Susan modeled mutual submission, mutual respect, and servant leadership as Don washed his wife’s feet in public. It was such a simple act, and yet so strange to the culture that most of the pastors stood to their feet, straining to see. The men were curiously fascinated. Submitting to one’s wife and serving her are simply not widely practiced in this East African culture. 
Two apostles were identified dramatically. Several pastors discovered they were actually prophets. The new prophets immediately exercised their office, laying hands on the rest of the willing audience. People were hearing personal words from God spoken over them for the very first time. Some had that wide-eyed “How did you know?!” look all over them.
Christian and I were joined on the field by Pastor Don and Susan Ketcham of First Baptist Church - Ionia. 
God helped Activation International live up to our name this conference. We asked God to “activate” our audience of church leaders in their gifts. Some were activated dramatically.
Though rain was abundant throughout January and beginning of February, the drought that threatens the whole of Tanzania has begun encroaching again.
About a week ago, we again hit the road for Conference #3 in the Manyara region of Tanzania.
