When I opened the blog I realized just how much the place will have changed as we return. The mountain that you see in the picture above has changed drastically since my last post. The mountain "Ol doiyo le Enkai has erupted and has left the residence fleeing for there lives and that of there animals. I had heard the stories from the old ones about what it was like when it erupted back in the '60s. Here is a link if you would like to see its progress and current situation.
Wow, It is hard to believe how quickly the time is approaching. My mind is racing ahead and my gut is panicking. I am thinking about the intercessory work that needs to go on before and continue while there. Sometimes, I wonder how my mind could conceive of such a task, once again the reminder that it is not about me or a class or paper, but about the fact that Christ is calling people unto himself.
We just got this blog up and going today. We will be posting over the next 60ish days before we depart for Tanzania on May 13th to keep everyone updated on how things are coming along. We are so excited for this opportunity to go back home and see old familiar faces of friends and loved ones, so please join us along the journey!
After living in the United States the past 5 years, Lacey and I (Aaron aka Moose) have the oppertuinity to return home to Tanzania. We will be gone for 3 months working with the elders of the Maakat/Gelai region to listen to their stories once again; only this time with new ears to hear them. It is our hope to help develop an oral theology that can be used in the future to better help these nomadic pastorialists seek and find Christ. We will try and keep you as updated as possible....granted there is no internet in the bush!!
