Two days after we arrived in Kigoma where my (Luke) parents live, we went on an evangelistic outreach trip for a week. We went down south to an old Burundian refugee resettlement called Katumba.
We had a seminar each morning (teaching about the local church) based on William McDonald's Emmaus Course "Christ loved the church" (See below).
Then from about 3 to 6 PM each day we had an evangelistic meeting ...
With singing and lots of special numbers from the numerous church choirs ...
And finally preaching at the end.
Then in the evenings we showed gospel films as soon as it was dark enough.
On Sunday 11 people were baptized. Here are the witnesses ...
And here is one of those who was baptized.
All in all in was a good experience of the rustic conditions which most people in this country experience daily; namely no electricity, running water or western toilets, and rice and beans each day. We are thankful that we did not get sick at all while down there, although the dusty dry season weather got to our noses and throats a bit.
