The church is a bit more spartan than the one we had seen the previous week near Moshi. Still, you could see it has grown a great deal from the original building which still stands nearby.
We found the service to be interesting. The choir, in particular, was a joy. You can imagine the surprise we felt when we later read the critique of the service by pastor Chad on his blog saying it was "somewhat long and bo(r)ing":
Both before and after the service, the usual auction of "in-kind" donations took place.
When toys and other items were distributed to the children after the service, it was fun to watch them marvel at the "flashing lights balls."
These are a couple more pictures of the kids.
On the previous day, we had visited the community school and library that are the beneficiary of some of Prince of Peace's charitable efforts. Here is the the library named in honor of deceased Bruce Lane Johnson:
And pictures of part of the school and one of its classrooms with seating for a hundred children.
And if you were wondering how you could help out in this community, please note that at this link you can make a donation to the Community Solutions for Africa's Development (COSAD) via a Plymouth, Minnesota tax-deductible charity with a Minnesota address. They take PayPal as well as credit cards and checks.

CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE MEN WHO CAUSED IT!
Do men have the ability to effect climate change on the planet earth? Are heat waves, cooling temperatures, earth quakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, droughts, gale-force winds, and snow storms the result of man's mismanagement of the planet?
Is it not naive and arrogant to assume that puny man can effect climate change? Man-made climate change is a grand hoax, at best.
HAVE MEN BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR CHANGES IN WEATHER PATTERNS? YES, HOWEVER, THEY HAVE HAD NO POWER TO EFFECT THE CHANGES THAT OCCURRED.
Genesis 6:13 The God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of them; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth.
Were men responsible for the change in the weather pattern? Yes. Did men effect the change of the weather? No, God caused it to rain for 40 days and 40 nights, not men.
Genesis 18:20 And the Lord said, :The outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah is indeed great, and their sin is exceedingly grave.
Genesis 19:24 Then the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven,
Were men responsible for the weather change in Sodom and Gomorrah? Yes. Did men cause the weather to change? No, God effected the change in the climate.
1 Kings 8:35 "When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain; because they have sinned against You....
Men are sometimes responsible for droughts, however, God effects the weather changes.
Matthew 27: 51,54 And behold , the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth shook and the rocks were split. 54 Now the centurion, and those who were with him keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were happening, became very frightened and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!"
Notice, the centurion did not attribute the earth quake to man-made climate change.
2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.
Men are responsible for the global warming that is coming.
No amount of green initiatives will stop the final global warming. Puny men will have no effect on the final climate change.
THE MAN-MADE CLIMATE CHANGE HOAX WAS INVENT BY 1.DISHONEST MEN 2.NAIVE MEN 3.ARROGANT MEN 4.OR ALL OF THE ABOVE.
GOD IS IN CONTROL OF THE WEATHER.
