Shepherd of the Valley & Makifu, Tungamalenga, Usolanga. Wednesday, July 15, 2015. As I prepared for this journey, there was one question I heard more often than any other: Will you see Frankie? Frankie was the young boy we met last year. Our group asked to take him to the clinic in Tungamalenga, and he was cared for by Dr. Barnabas Kahwage and his staff for three months. Healing came slowly. His wounds were severe, and he needed nutritional supplements to boost his healing. When he didn't speak but allo...

Tanzania Partnership: Preparing the way
http://tungamalenga.blogspot.com/2015/07/preparing-way.html
Shepherd of the Valley & Makifu, Tungamalenga, Usolanga. Thursday, July 9, 2015. I'm back in Iringa after six busy days in Tungamalenga and Makifu Parishes. We visited seven village congregations in Tungamalenga Parish - Tungamalenga, Idodi, Kibaoni, Mapogoro, Kitisi, Mpalapande, and Namelok. Msembe (game park headquarters) is the only congregation from this parish that I missed. As we passed the photo albums around each chapel or gathering under a tree, our friends here smiled, laughed, and picked out v...

Tanzania Partnership: February 2015

Shepherd of the Valley & Makifu, Tungamalenga, Usolanga. Sunday, February 22, 2015. When our groups visited the Huruma Center orphanage last July, one sweet little girl grabbed my hand and didn't let go. We sat on the steps watching the other kids jump rope and play soccer with the visitors. She draped herself across my lap and snuggled in. Her condition could be fixed by a simple surgery, so we left word that we would like to cover her medical expenses if the surgery could be arranged. We celebrated our...
