From co-workers serving among the Tanzania Maasai: “Stayed in the countryside Saturday night so we could go to Olesiti Baptist Church. It rained for 5 hours during the night. This morning a guard asked: 'When are you leaving?' We said: 'Soon.' He said: 'We need to put big rocks in the road. The rain has made it impassable.' An hour later the guards returned and we left with them telling us where to pass and where they had put the rocks. With God's help we drove in 4-wheel-drive, slip sliding the whole way to the top of the hill. Thank God for thoughtful guards who cared for our safety. We were late to church but the people were glad we came. NO picture as I was holding on during the drive or I would have ended up hitting the dashboard. (Photo is of another rainy day in rural East Africa!)

Thanks to those who support the Cooperative Program and Lottie Moon Offering - these gifts pay for the 4-wheel-drive vehicles needed in East Africa, often even in our cities, by those serving as our Father's Heart, Hands and Voice!
