We had a wonderful time upon first arriving in East Africa. We began our trip with some solid time to rest, to study, to listen to God, and
to prepare for the coming ministry time.

We all woke early to enjoy the beautiful sunrise, as we walked with our cups of coffee in hand, getting sand between our toes.
God began to show us His "big picture" of some of the specific training direction that will help equip African pastors to take their next steps.
The Green Hues of the Rainy Season
As
we caught the early morning bus across into Tanzania, we enjoyed the green hue
that blanketed the landscape. Yes, the rains have come to East Africa!
We drove past fields of pineapple plants....
...and even some "safari animals."

(You may notice the unusual red coloring
of the elephants. No, this is not a new, undiscovered species. The soil in this
part of East Africa is particularly red; and when the rains create the red mud,
the otherwise-gray elephants rejoice for the relief. They roll in the mud and
coat themselves...and stay that color for the rest of the rain season.)
