Kigoma

We made a trip to Kigoma for a week; it was partly to get some R & R but also to visit some of our pastors and churches in our most western district. 
We visited Bishop Mulenda's church for Sunday services and earlier in the week visited two churches.  One those we visited was a small church with thatch roof and walls made from reeds with a dirt floor.  We saw the small sign for the church and followed a small dirt track that ended in front of the church.  The pastor was not there but several of the church people lived in the house next to the church. 
They sent a boy for the pastor and he soon arrived; he is a young man who has gone through one of our church planting schools and is now putting those things he learned into practice with this new church.
We stayed for a few minutes and visited with him and some of his members; they were so encouraged that we found them and stopped in to see them. 
Even though the church is a few months old, he has over 20 church members and over 20 children attending the church.
