Now we wait.

Well folks, its all over. Our first Urban Poor Arusha Vision Seminar finished about 4 hours ago, and I must say I am rather amazed. In traditional African fashion, we started about an hour later than we planned, because people weren't ready yet.

My role today, was that of connector, everyone invited knows me, but since I had not yet done a vision seminar in Africa, Annelle and Lorivi were the actual facilitators. As I watched and observed, I was amazed at how this group of people were so enraptured by the material, by how they participated, and by their willingness to learn more and ask more questions. Lorivi is an amazing CHE instructor, he truly is a gift to our ministry, and does an amazing job of explaining CHE to the audience, regardless of who the audience is, he adapts, and does so rather well.

So now we wait. They know the vision of CHE, they know the ideas, the main concepts and the philosophy. They know that if they want to take it further, and want to form a CHE team we are willing to help them use CHE to transform their community. Now we wait. We wait and we pray for hearts to be called to use this tool. Waiting is hard. I am hoping I don't have to wait too long!

Pray that the men and women who attended todays seminar would hear the voice of God in the coming weeks. Pray that those who need to use this tool would step forward, and those who need to be supporters would support them. Pray that God would be glorified and that Unga would begin to be transformed.
