Tanzania Mbeya Women's Conference begins

First, we apologize for no pictures, but we still aren't able to get them for posting. Bonnie is texting information for the blog.

Today was the first official day of the conference and there are 38 women enrolled. Bonnie and Tina report that this conference has a different atmosphere than the Iringa conference. However, this is not negative - things are going great! This is just an observation as Neema, Bonnie, and Tina teach, dialogue, and pray with the women.

Pray for the women as they open up to God's Word and His Spirit as it teaches and guides them. Pray for Bonnie and Tina as they teach and interact with the women.
Pray for, Maka (Mark) Mwaisumbe, Neema and Mpeli's teen-age son. He is doing all the translation. Bonnie asks especially that you pray for him. He translated for Bonnie and Tina today for more than six hours at last text. Pray for his strength and focus as he translates.

The Mbeya conference will continue with a full day tomorrow and a half day on Wednesday. The gang will head back to Iringa on Wednesday afternoon. If all goes well, they will have a half-day safari on Thursday. Then they travel to Dar Es Salaam to fly home late Friday night. Your partnership in prayer is deeply appreciated.
