Lightening was flashing all night and Sunday morning began with rain.  The amazing thing was seeing the fisherman out of lake late at night with their lanterns shining.   It looked like a city on the lake. 

Today we began the conference at Makwale Baptist Church, Kyela.  for the area churches.   Pastors and people from other denominations and churches joined with us.   This was a great day of praise, worship, and learning.   Floyd taught the men/pastors on stewardship (God entrusting us with everything in life).   Bonnie taught the women being women of prayer and God’s expectation of them.   Many people came for regular Sunday worship, so, Floyd preached (Mpeli translated) on living out your calling in unity from Eph. 4:1-6.     

We were joined in the conference by our favorite worship leaders:  Ephraim, Chapa, and Raymond.   Sadiki was the overall worship leader for the conference.   The choirs from the church also led in worship.   Oh, how we danced all day.   Kyela is very humid and hot and with the rain was extremely humid.   Everyone was sweating from the dancing and singing. 

After lunch, Bonnie taught on what it means to be a Godly woman—she kept emphasizing that most of the teaching applied to the men as well.  Her teaching was very much appreciated as well as challenging to the group.  

Tomorrow will be our last day at this church area.   We travel to Mbeya immediately after the conference ends.
