Sunday Worship With Song & Dance


Sunday morning I spoke at Pastor Simone Masungulwa's church in Nyakato. He has a very active and growing church that loves to worship in song & dance. Nyakato is a small village about a fifteen minute ride out of Mwanza, Tanzania. In the afternoon I enjoyed lunch at the Pastor's home with his wife and children. I've been asked to return and do a week long open air crusade in the market area sometime in the future.

For the evening service I traveled to Kitangiri to Hulda Kibaba's church. A young church built with small tree trunks covered with tarps. Decorations of flowers with purple & white material hanging around the inside made it a beautiful place to worship together. Neighborhood children come running to join us as music fills the air.


The children in both churches received hand made "slipper socks" made by, my mother, Charlotte Towne. One father expressed his thanks by saying "This church has never experienced such a gift as this. You have brought the children much joy and the mamas are happy too."

I spoke on Dorcas and using what God puts in your hand. Dorcas had a needle. Moses had a rod. David had a sling. What has God placed in your hand?

The evening was spent with leaders of the church. We met together at this large chicken farm and enjoyed tea and a time of prayer together.
