Well, we've taken the leap and jumped in boots and all! Moving from the Swedish School to Slipway theatre was a little discomforting cos we'd grown so used to the school. But hey, you can't light a lamp and hide it under the bed - you'll burn the whole house down!
The theatre is situated in a very busy, very visible and most importantly very accessible area on the penninsular of Dar. We have started with morning meetings (09h30) and are planning a Friday night youth meeting.
Slipway is the yellow peg on the western side of the penninsular and the red line show where we have come from at the Swedish School. The other yellow peg to the north east is where our apartment is located, which is where we meet for prayer meetings currently - but we plan to move the prayer meeting to Slipway also to make it more accessible to everyone.Here are some photos from our first meeting:
I was very happy with the way our banner turned out. The verse is from Isaiah 60 - Arise & Shine! The black void leaves space for other meeting times to be attached.
The faithful early crowd. The mustard seed that God has planted here. The chairs are extremely comfortable and so preaching must be lively to prevent dropping off!
Baptism@Slipway - what a perfect setting: in Msasani Bay, with Bongoyo island in the background. Robert Mombo is baptised at our first meeting at Slipway - a memorable occasion!
Robert shared something of his testimony with us prior to being baptised - just incredible to see God at work in people's lives! We stand in awe of Him!
May God provide the increase as we plant and water this seed He has given.
... to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
