A Dream Come True

A dream come true

This time next week Graham & I will be enjoying the seaside village of Jambiani in Tanzania! WOW! It will be humid and hot but we will be fulfilling part of our dream.
After a few days there and in Dar es Salaam we will head for our home for the next 8 weeks, Shukrani Business College at Mbeya, Southern Tanzania. We will be involving ourselves in ways that Major Chris Watson, the principal, believes will be helpful for them. This part of the dream isn't about enjoying a holiday but engaging with people of a different culture in their setting, serving them and learning from them. I hope I won't make too many culturally inappropriate blunders! (I'm probably quite capable of that even in my own culture.) We are grateful to them all for allowing us to be part of their lives for a short while. As for the next few days...... The list of 'to dos' is tooooo long and the excitement (and a degree of anxiety) is beginning to set in.
A few more days of goodbyes in Victor Harbour and Melbourne and we are on our way.
The more difficult realisation is that our daughter Cheryl will have left for another few years of learning and ministry in China by the time we get back. Regardless I thank God for her and her willingness to be responsive to God's direction for her life.
