God called us to be lay missionaries in a place that we we did not know. When we arrived, we found that there were lots of challenges in this new place including the following: a small house, it was very hot, the river has crocodiles, there are monkeys in the trees, there is no garden, and for crossing the river it had to be done by canoe. Even with all these challenges we knew God called us to serve Him in this location.
We lived in that small house that we rented for three months when the owner of the house came back and asked us to leave. We didn’t know where to go. With no other answers, we decided to move in the church hoping to be there only for a short time. We ended up staying for four months.
We made bricks to build a house but it took a long time to finish the house and to get it ready to live in. The biggest challenge was each Friday and Saturday. People would come to the church for Sabbath opening and on Sabbath day. We had to get out early in the morning to make the church clean and ready for services. So all of our things we took out and put under the tree waiting to take them back in after the sunset.
God helped us to continue to work even though we had many trials. Now God has moved us to a new location and we thank God that he worked through Kibidula to provide metal roofing sheets to finish a place so we could could have a place to live in the new location.
We thank God for his protection and caring for us.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry M. now working in Nyawenzi.
