We walked toward the outskirts of this village, and there found the
Lutheran Church, where the Unity Committee was to meet to pray and to set the course for this
year's conference schedule.
Upon our arrival, we were saddened to learn that the former pastor of
this Lutheran church (Pastor Gisamay, whom we met at our 2010 conference), had died early last
year. It is the custom here that when a
beloved pastor dies, he is buried on the church grounds. We found his grave
respectfully cared for and still bearing the tokens of love from the
congregants, small packets of earth and plants, tied with ribbon, adorning his
grave.
