The trail (a 5 mile "short cut") took them through an area that is flourishing from underground springs that come from Mount Kilimanjaro, which is located SE of Makindu, in Tanzania.

"The poor populace that lives around here uses the trees for their own survival and the area for grazing their animals," he notes. "The Lord has simply made a way for them to survive in this poor area. Glory to His name."
"For the young people, it took only two hours to get to Kimooini. But for us older people it took about three hours. But we were in time for services, praise the Lord."
Here is the youth/children's service. There are around 70 people total in the Kimooini congregation, with most being seekers and around 10 newly saved. Brother Lawrence is glad to see what God is doing among them, though time will tell where their hearts are.

He adds: "These people are desperate for a reasonable building. Land is so cheap that we feel we can easily acquire that in good time, but they will need a building. They are so poor that we have to train some in income generating skills. Please, pray for this as we ourselves have simply not much time to earn our own upkeep and to spare to train others freely."
Weary miles, aching legs, grains of rice, helping hands, seeking hearts... these all are part of the work of God, which we catch but the smallest glimpses of now.
What will God do when we offer Him what we have?
