This area was not one we planned to visit. A group had
been near that area the previous year, but by Gods grace we were directed to
this location and were fortunate to meet Christina
Christina appeared to be in her 80's and blind. She waited
by her hut for the truck to take her to church. She had been
invited by a neighbor who is a member of the congregation. Her husband
named Daudi was a Muslim. He came home a few weeks earlier and told
her he had been baptized as a Christian, she cried because she wanted to
be baptized.
When she heard that a US team was in the area going to
homes and baptizing she was unable to walk to find us . Her neighbor knew we
were coming to the church service and asked for the van to come and pick up
Christina. The church was so crowded we could hardly walk through the aisle but
she was led to the front and when the invitation for baptism, she was the first
in line to be baptized to join the family of believers and have her sins washed
away.
The average life expectancy in Tanzania is 49, God blessed
us with this opportunity.
There are more Christina’s out there waiting for someone to
share the gospel message. Come join us on our trip in may 2012
