Refugee Status

I have achieved refugee status here in Tanzania. Yes, it's true. Crazy but true! As you have probably already read, there have been a few water issues in my home. So, now we sleep in one place that does not have running water because it needs the electricity from the house that was flooded. So we use the bathroom in another home. We shower all over. We eat at another home and do work in another place. All that to say they now call us refugees. =)

What is interesting is that I have begun to teach once a week to a group of pastors at the pastors college here where I teach at the teachers college part time. One of the men from my group is from the Sudan. I do not know his story yet but I can only imagine since there are so many refugees from there. People's lives here are so different.

Little side note: Tomorrow and Friday, I am having the first ever teachers conference/workshop for all of the Imara teachers from the villages. I hope that this will be a spiritually encouraging time for them as well as an equipping time for them. I want them to have a deeper understanding of what they are a part of in transforming their communities. Please pray! Thanks!
