Life in the Lancs Lane. Serving God with AIM in Tanzania. Humbled in Kajiado and Hazards in Nairobi! Two weeks ago we signed off our last update with these words: “ We’d value your prayers: that the hospital tests for Ruth would go well; that Ruth’s blood would once again flow as it should and that we would continue to be flexible and patient in all of this”! So, time for some feedback, especially as Ruth had another check-up this morning! Steve first came to this city 29 years ago to stay with an MAF fa...

Life in the Lancs Lane. Serving God with AIM in Tanzania. 8220;Much study wearies the body”! Well, we’ve just about made it! The time for evaluation approaches as we draw near to the end of our three month language course here in Iringa. But how does one evaluate or quantify how ‘successful’ one has been on a three month language course? Can we speak Swahili? And the answer to that would be ‘yes’ - to varying degrees! Once or twice I’ve gone under and come up coughing and spluttering, but am now be...

Life in the Lancs Lane. Serving God with AIM in Tanzania. Turning Two in Tanzania. We celebrated Steve's birthday in June with. A trip to Mikumi National Park. 11th July marks our two year anniversary! In the great scheme of things, 2 years is not a long time.

There were times, especially in those dreaded afternoon sessions, when a...

Life in the Lancs Lane. Serving God with AIM in Tanzania. It feels as if we’ve been non-stop since we returned from ABO in February. The two major things that have happened since returning to Morogoro are completing our homestay and moving house! Rev Falanta and his family. Rev and Mama Falanta also have two other daughters who are away at boarding school. Meals were taken much later than we are used to – lunch was typically served around 2.30pm and dinner was sometimes eaten as late as 10pm! The family ...

Last month our blog ended with the words, “…move into our house and finally unpack those suitcases! It’s a 3 bedroomed house...

And changes are afoot for us in Morogoro in various ways – in our team, our roles and the weather! Crops growing well at. Matt's construction site office. At Sanga is coming on well. Beautiful Arusha National Park. Motorway' service station - not. It might sound a strange passage but for various reasons there were a number of elements to that story that rang true for Steve. Whilst not ...

Leading Women in the Adventure of Faith. Make Your First 5 Count. Have you ever felt something stirring in your spirit that wouldn’t go away? I have one of those things on my heart right now.

Last fall, she went off to college and while she’s always excelled academically, the same couldn’t be said for her spiritual life. But no matter what we did or said, we just couldn’t make it connect for her. But she lacked &...

Life in the Lancs Lane. Serving God with AIM in Tanzania.

After a month in Kenya we are now back in Tanzania and getting stuck into language learning. More about that later…. Jump forward to today - here we are living in Morogoro! On our return to Tanzania my immediate impression was that Morogoro is not a bad place to live! For the next couple of mont...
