Our second stop, was to introduce Kendra to Mama Diwani. Mama Diwani is married to the counselor (much like the mayor) of Sokone I, a subsection of Unga. Mama Diwani is a dynamic woman.
A few weeks back I shared of my day visiting women with HIV/AIDS with Mama Diwani. She currently has about 600 women in Sokone I alone, who are meeting in small groups to provide each other with support and encouragement as they live with this deadly virus. Many of these women are single mothers, many of them unemployed, and many of them seeing life as a death sentence, but together, they realize they can go farther. I can see how CHE can transform these groups from just being groups of words of encouragement to groups that give LIFE! I have shared CHE with many of the ladies, and many of them eagerly asked, where do we sign up!
In talking with Lorivi, we decided that Mama Diwani and a few of the group leaders should also attend this upcoming Vision Seminar. So Kendra and I went to visit her, one so Kendra could meet her, and two, so we could invite some of the ladies to the vision seminar. Without hesitation, she committed, and also said, I think Michael (the counselor) should come too. I will see if he is free!
It has been fun for me, to see God unfold His plan here. None of this has been on my strength or my power, but just Him, leading, opening doors, inviting conversations and bringing it to fruition. He is so good isn't He?
