Our Team

I’m sitting at my computer. I have Arusha time and temperature on my screen. It is 8:35 pm Friday and 91 degrees there! It is 12:35 pm Friday and 29 degrees here. Wow! Our lives will be so different.

Africa is on my mind more and more these days. Also I think of our team. It is amazing how God has brought us all together. We come from so many different backgrounds-there are teachers and preachers, businessmen and nurses, builders and electrician. We come from Oregon, Colorado, Indiana and Pennsylvania.

Each one brings their unique gifts and abilities. And we all come together for the sole purpose of fulfilling the Great Commission of Christ in the way He has called us. Our team also includes some very special children-Jack, Savannah, Wesley, Meghan, Morgan, Oleg, Heidi and Wyatt. Thinking of you.  Joann

A New Year

Posted by mjnoel     Category: Uncategorized

I have been thinking of Christmas here in Pennsylvania and Tanzania.

We have white Christmas & 30° temps. They have snow on Mt. Kilimanjaro & 80° temps!     

We have Christmas decorations galore. They have poinsettia TREES!

We have tangerines. They have mangoes!

We have nativity scenes with ceramic donkeys. They have live donkeys everywhere!

We have heard the Christmas story again and again. They have not all heard!

Maybe next Christmas will be different! Joann
