We were blessed with a few new people who were also capable
translators willing to give Bayo an occasional break. We were also blessed by
adding Santosh Kumar to the teaching team for this conference. We met Santosh in Holland, Michigan, and
began to develop a friendship with him in his last months of seminary training.
God gave us the wonderful
opportunity of ministering with Santosh in Tanzania. Santosh really
enjoyed his time teaching the pastors, and it seems that the pastors really
enjoyed him, too! Before Santosh left, they gifted him with one of the local
tribes' cloth wraps (shuka), which both expresses their thankfulness to him but
also their welcome for him to come again in the future.
It was great for the AIM team to work with him, and we are
praying for God to open doors for AIM in the Orissa region of India in the near
future.
