Our Surprise Family Ngusha

We were planning for five families but they arrived at the bus stand with another family ready to begin training!  

Rafel and Safina are a cute young couple who are also expecting their first child any day!  

The Noel's and I along with our staff are happy to welcome these six families to join us for the next three months of training!  We are excited because these families are from an area along the coast that is filled with all new tribes!!  These families will be the first of church planters in the area which is a very high Muslim populated area.  They have all adjusted to the center very well and are a dynamic group!  Last week the subjects were storytelling and health this week it is literacy.  Mike has added a new storytelling piece with this group that we are all very excited about.  In the late afternoon and evening they are learning how to look at scripture, study the story, and then how to in a simple but powerful way tell the story.  Everyday they are spending some time with this and Mike's hope is for them to leave with a total of 72 stories in chronological order for them to take back to the Bagamoyo area in the precious name of Jesus!     

Prayer Points~

May these precious six families feel the presence of the love of Jesus while they live here on the CMF Center.  Open their minds that they may be empowered with new knowledge that produces Godly wisdom and leadership for their areas in which they will live for the sake of spreading the gospel.  May their hearts be willing to love others.  Protect the Center and all who fill it here, in the name of Jesus, from the tempter who does not want to see chains of darkness broken for the Kingdom Work.  Help those of us who teach, love and serve with wisdom, courage, and strength as we invest in these lives.  To God be the Glory we press forward one day at a time in this journey with these precious families so that more may know!
