Classroom

Hi all,
We had our first day in the classroom today. There are around 25 pastors and businessmen and NGO administrators here. They all have graduated from Nassa Theological College. They are here this week for an alumni seminar and we are the guest lecturers. This is where culture shock is hitting me more and more. The poverty that these pastors must endure is heartbreaking. Most of these men have families and live in very rural conditions. Most have little access to health care. Their stories are overwhelming.

John taught today from 2 Corinthians on the ministry of compassion.  I  taught on the worth of children in the kingdom of God. I was nervous!

John's cousin, Sheila is taking good care of us. She has lived here in Tanzania and raised her children here. She is a great source of knowledge and joy.

We took a walk last night and the stars are amazing!  We saw the "southern cross" which of course you can only see from the southern hemisphere. God's beauty is all around us.
Blessings,   Sylvia
