Today was filled with worship, praise, and the humble experiences of worshipping together with our brothers and sisters in Kidetete and the Children’s Home. Our worship began at Kidetete with the joy of singing praises to the Lord. We celebrated the Lord’s Supper together. I am always reminder of the unity of the body of the Christ when I consider the millions of believers all over the world who will gather in worship and celebrate the Lord’s Supper, the Communion, or the Eucharist. People of every tribe, nation, language gather together to remember the real focus of our faith—Jesus the Christ.

At the end of the service, the Kidetete church is led outside by the preacher and pastors, then every person leaves shaking hands with those who preceded them--A great circle of fellowship with everyone greeting each person there. This was truly a time of blessing as the presence of God’s Spirit was evident to all.

In front of the church is a local source of water. The pictures demonstrate the need for clean drinking water for the Kidetete community. We continue to wait with eager anticipation the coming of the drilling equipment. The team went to the farm and prayed at the gate thanking God for the vision and it becoming a reality. For me, Floyd, the fence and farm are a clear example of why the Teleios mission statement is “helping God-given visions become present-day realities.”

In the afternoon, BonnieTaz and Tundai (I will get the correct spelling and update tomorrow), the two babies who are a part of the DBL Children’s Home family were dedicated to the Lord. Floyd led in the dedication time with Mpeli. This was a special time as we read from Matthew 18, MT 19, and 1 John 3. Each person there laid their hands on the babies in prayer dedicating the children to the Lord and themselves to be examples and guides in the way of the Lord. Just an update, BonnieTaz is now crawling and trying to pull up to walk, she sits up by herself, and loves to sing with the other children.

In the afternoon, Greg and Becky went to the playground with the children, Jon was once again given the opportunity to repair something, and Floyd went to the city center with Mpeli and family in preparation for the week to come. Even our play can be an act of worship as we rejoice in God who created us and enjoy the love of one another.

Tomorrow, Jon, Greg, and Becky have the great opportunity to do a safari at the Ruaha National Park. Pray for them to see every animal of God’s creation at Ruaha. They have worked hard this week and I ask you to ask the Lord to bless them with this gift. Floyd, Mpeli and Neema will be going over partnerships and meeting with local officials.

Thank you again and again for your prayers, encouragement, and support in everyway. Please continue to remember Rebecca and Meg as they are on their final part of the safari home. Oh, Rebecca has to go to Washington tomorrow morning. Pray for her as her safari starts anew tomorrow.
