Neglected

Wow. It's been over a month since my last Unga update. I don't think I have left a blog sitting so long before! AGH!

Just because I haven't blogged doesn't mean nothing is going on. I haven't been into Unga very often as we were still trying to straighten life out since the accident, court, etc...you know the story.

In the last month, my life in Unga has changed dramatically...for the BETTER! We had our bi-annual team meeting where we review our goals, and talk strategy as well as share needs, dream, brainstorm etc... At this meeting I was able to share with my team the weight I was carrying for Unga. We are a unique team, in that we have two ministry focuses, and well, most of the people on my team are part of the focus that I don't have much to do with, and well, I felt like I was flying solo..in action, in dreaming, in decision making etc. I have such an AWESOME team that we made some changes, and now I have a committee of teammates who are coming along side me to reach Unga. I am thrilled. This committee will help steer the ministry, help me dream, go into Unga with me, challenge me, and well all around be co-ministers with me! I am so excited about this new change! I know that Jesus is the ultimate burden carrier for this ministry...but I was taking a lot of weight on as well...now we get to share it!

I have been in contact with Mama Jackson and Mama Diwani, and this week, with our new committee I will be able to start going into Unga regularly again, as my teammates have stepped up to a whole new level and are committing time in their week to go with me! Again, my team ROCKS!

Exciting news...we are looking at having our first TOT (week long training) where we will equip the leaders of the HIV/AIDS small groups to start their very own CHE project!!! THIS IS EXCITING! The group leaders caught the vision at our Vision Seminar a few months back, and have been begging for more! The accident and incidences surrounding slowed us down a bit, but we have it scheduled for the week of Nov 19! PRAY PRAY PRAY!

Also, some of those who attending the Vision Seminar had some unanswered questions, so we are going to take them to visit a CHE site just outside of Arusha on Nov 16! Pray for this day as well! I picture a beautiful sight as I envision Tanzanians sharing their ministry with others and encouraging them in the same path! BEAUTIFUL!

Thanks for praying, and thanks for your patience!
