As our plane touched down in Tanzania I was immediately humbled by the miracle of God's creation. From here we departed on the first challenge of our Global adventure. By way of ferry we travelled to Zanzibar, an island of the East African coast. Zanzibar's population is 99 persent Muslim and the spoken language is Swahili. In spite of the exhausting humid heat and the barriers of language and tradition, the Lord helped us to communicate and reach out to the locals. Wearing clothes according to Muslim tradition, we enjoyed working alongside people who in spite of their poverty are very friendly . It was a very humbling experience. Our next destination, for a debriefing with the whole Global group was Kenya. Here I was reminded of the words of a song that describes the pounding drums as the heart-beat of Africa like the Lord's heart beats for all people. We are all part of the body of Christ and the Lord wishes us to grow and live like one. Like a rainbow, we must let God's light shine in darkest Africa for all the world to see. The amazing prophesies regarding Africa will be fulfilled through the strength of prayer and the grace of God. God is good all the time.
