Safe and VERY BUSY in TZ!
Our journey has brought us safely back to Tanzania! I can tell you that so far we have had the most powerful meetings with the government officials, we have our stamp of approval for our food program from the district commissioner for our region AND have navigated our way around more than half the country. We have only been here for a few days! It is very exciting to see how God connects the dots!!
We had a wonderful meeting with our "sisters" who will execute our program for food distribution! They are more than grateful for "our" help and will do a wonderful job serving the "poorest of the poor" and those affected with HIV!! The village we will be serving is so poor and is not lush and green, it is drought ridden, lack of education dominates this region and people are very ill with no hope for help!! Our work in certainly cut out for us, but with your prayers to allow us the strength to do this work, we shall succeed!!
Our journeys not only had us in meetings with the government officials in our region, but now we will see how the govn't in Dar es Salaam operates as well. We will have the opportunity to meet the port agents and see how that works. We may even get to sneak a day of Zanzibar in this incredible journey. After DAr, we will head to the "bush" and visit the lepers!!
We are moving along so fast and very excited for what is in store for us!!
The internet is not great here, and with the amount of traveling we are doing, more than likely I will post all about our trip when I return back to the states.
Thank you for keeping us in your prayers, it means so much!
Until next time~

So many to Thank!!!
Thank you sometimes just doesn't seem like enough!!! We have been so blessed with so many great friends of Simple Hope. We so kindly want to Thank Mary V. and Christina S for their wonderful donations of brand new digital cameras for our project managers. They will be thrilled with these great gifts and it will surely help our mission!! Mary V your donation of the photography books was so kind, we know Mike will be thrilled and will read read read!!! I want to Thank Mary Beth W for her donation of the wonderful prayer shawls...I am once again amazed at the work of her talented hands and how these prayer shawls make such a difference in the lives who only want hope!! I also want to Thank Mary Beth for the donation of the "smart" DVD player, this will be used in so many great capacities in Tanzania.
I also want to Thank Pastor Jay for your wonderful commissioning of our trip at church today. Your sermon was so fitting for what we are being asked to do! The members of SOTH are clearly driven with his spirit to walk with us on this journey. The music and children at today's service just made me joyful in the work I am doing!!
The next time I write, we will be in Tanzania working diligently on all of our projects!! Thanks for your support EVERYONE and many Blessings to you always.
Until next time~
