July 2, The church & living conditions
One of the coolest things I experienced while in Africa was watching the church burn a witch doctors tools. She had given her life to Christ and burning the tools signified Satan had been crushed. It was some kind of powerful. Following the fire I show the actual church in Tabora. You can see the orange tarp attached to the house with many people sitting on the ground or standing up. Due to the generous giving of our people the money for 200 plastic chairs has been sent to 5 Point of Tabora. How cool is that?
I also added some good footage of the village homes. These homes are what the majority of people live in.
Some random thoughts:
* 4th of July is this Saturday and we're using it to our advantage. We'll be GIVING away hot dogs, cotton candy, soft drinks & water, snow cones and have a bunch of inflatables of the kids to enjoy. We have over 150 people signed up to help reach into our community. The activities will get started around 4:00 but we have a lot of people showing up much earlier to set up. We still need water. If you can bring some by the church it would be greatly appreciated. If you still haven't signed up to help and want to, give the church a call at 850-0580.
* I am as excited as I've ever been about what God is doing at 5 Point. Why? Because people are starting to get it? They are serving others and giving to grow another church. Hold on people, we got good things around the corner waiting on us.
* Start a new series this week called Dean Works. Just a bunch of random messages God has given me. Hold on everyone, we gonna have fun.
* This Sunday we have a new singer breaking out singing I'm a lucky man. Have to come and see for yourself.
* Went fishing last night form 8:00 pm until 2:00 am. Caught one fish. But let me be honest. I had a blast. Saw the sun set, the evening was beautiful and got to hang out with some good friends. But the truth remains, I suck at fishing.
* Invite a unchurched person this week, promise you they'll enjoy it.
* See you Saturday and Sunday.
