A New Africa!

Just arrived to Dar-es-Salaam again after just under a week in Mbeya, in Sothern Tanzania. What an amazing week I have had. Yet another week lined up and orchestrated by the Spirit of God. Walking with God in the midst of His plan is just flat out amazing. There is no strife in the Kingdom. Hard work yes, but no stress. When God is building the house then we are merely His co-workers and we can rest in His peace even in the midst of the storms of life.

Before I share about what God has done this past week I feel I need to take some time to honor my dear friend Fiore Londino from Pittsburgh, PA. Fiore runs his own business offering leadership training to the top echelon of mid to large size companies. He is on Pastor Jeff Leake's board for Allison Park Church and his job takes him around the country. He is indeed a frequent traveler. We have had so much fun this past week. Working side by side for the Kingdom we have made a great team. The week before I arrived to TZ, Fiore brought Patty Edwards, wife of late Pastor Bruce Edwards, and her three daughters Leah, Ashley and Samantha to dedicate two water wells that were drilled in honor of Pastor Bruce. Fiore did it so well. The ladies had the trip of their lives. Then this week, the excellence that Fiore works with is refreshing. He is diligent and takes great  pride in his work. The team that comes with us to Mbeya will have a great trip because of the hard work of Fiore.

Thank you Allison Park Church and Pastor Jeff Leake for sending Fiore as your front man to Tanzania to work side by side with us in SOS. We are honored by his presence.

The people that God placed in our path this week is yet again amazing. We have for the last couple of years said in SOS that there is a new Africa on the rise and once again that is what we met. I was picked at the airport by our co-worker Mathias Msangi and the TAG Bishop of Mbeya, Donald Mwanjoka. What an amazing man he is. Great humble man of God.

His assistant Bishop, Addison Mwajunga is of the same spirit. He is currently in the midst of a building project. As they were praying for land to become available the local government gave them the neighboring plot for free and as they continued to pray God said to him: Do not ask anyone for money! And he has not. The church has paid for the foundation on their own - over $125,000.

These men are praying their way up. They are believing that God takes care of His own. So refreshing to see in place after place in Africa.

On Thursday Bishop Mwanjoka had gathered the main Pentecostal bishops in the city for us. As I shared our vision for Mbeya, at one point I stopped to ask them what they were sensing the Spirit saying to them. They took turns and one by one they confirmed how God indeed works two ends. They have been praying and they see us coming as a big answer to prayer.

It is God's time for Africa!

C u soon!
