Talking about the rain,
and mulling over things that wont live past today.
Its been quite some time since I've been into this whole blogging thing but I think I'm going to get back into it just because.
So the picture above is down in the Uwgeno Valley. A small village in Tanzania and near Mt. Kilimanjaro. There is a centre of excellence being built there named Nyota Star Christian Centre. I have been communicating with the lady who started this for about 4 years now and God has done so much there. Since the first days of talking with her until this very day, this village has been my hearts cry. The children, of which I've only seen pictures, have captured my heart, the land is etched within my memory, every time I get alone with God, He never fails to remind me of these precious people in the Uwgeno valley.
Many things are going on, there is a local church that was finished in 2006, there is a nursery school with about 50 children enrolled, they have been given bikes along with a repair shop, they have a corn processor and in the past few years since Christ has been brought to this people, their land has begun to flourish, the rains have returned and life is flowing where there used to be death.
There are many plans and projects going on two of which are to eventually get a higher level of school and eventually a hospital up and running employing the adults as well as giving hope of a future to the young ones coming up.
Many years ago (before college that is), a dream was planted in my heart to become a doctor and become a missionary. Right now I'm not so sure about the doctor part, but I am pursuing a degree in Biology which could lead into the medical field (if my grades are good enough).
Enough of my rambling, Just sharing my heart... oh yea Here is a link to the webpage, Check it out and keep this centre in your hearts and prayers. God is doing a mighty work and if you are able, I urge you to donate to this cause as well. http://www.nyotastar.com/projects.htm
Love and blessings,
