The Greater Work

"Boots on the Ground" uh "Maasai Sandals"

God is doing some amazing things among the Maasai in Tanzania. We are privileged that He has chosen to use us as the "boots on the ground" missionaries. However, we feel that there is a greater group of people out their who make it possible for us to be here. That group are those who pray for us. Without the prayers of the saints we could not be here doing what we are doing and being used by God. Without those of you who are doing the greater work we could not do the "boots on the ground" work.

With this idea in mind and being sensitive to the the fact that we are in a world that is filled with technology I have tried to take advantage of this very real means of increasing our prayer base and expanding the knowledge of what God is doing.

I want to take this opportunity to introduce those of you who view our blog to the various other places you can go to join us in praying for the Maasai of Tanzania and us as we minister with and to them.

What's on the Menu?

Recently, a volunteer team was camping in the Simanjiro district at a local milk processing factory outside the small town of Nabarera.

The camp was set up behind the factory.  There are 2 guards and 2 dogs who provide security.

Each night, we heard various animals "vocalizing" their discontent, wants, and generally broadcasting their messages abroad.

Late one evening, we heard loud barking, snarling, yelping, yelling, and sounds of pursuit.
We waited until morning to get the full story.

It seems that during the night, a hyena came into the camp, engaged the 2 guard dogs and the 2 guards.
When the dust settled and the noise ceased, the camp was short one dog.
The hyena fought with the 2 dogs, killed one, dragged it away and then finished off his "meal" in peace and quiet.

Many places have dogs available as security.

Our dogs are on the menu.
