After a day of travel, we reached the village of Tarime, Tanzania late afternoon – and I will always look back and see tonight as one of the mountaintop experiences of my life with Christ. We showed the Jesus film. It was in English and Pastor Moses translated as much as he could – he did a great, spirit-inspired job.
The amazing thing for me was watching the people as they watched the movie and followed the life of Jesus. They cheered and clapped in amazement when Jesus healed the blind man and raised the little girl from the dead and when He calmed the storm. They gasped and some covered their eyes when Jesus was beaten and abused. And they creid when He hung on the cross – and I cried along with them.
I know that Jesus died for my sins but I do not often dwell on the suffering that He experienced, it is painful for me to even think of it but I should remember every day what Jesus did for me. The people tonight listened and they saw graphically what Jesus did for them. They believed and they responded. I don’t even know the number – I just saw many people responding to the invitation to put their faith in Jesus as their Savior. The local pastor we work with -Pastor Peter- closed the evening with encouragement for everyone to worship with us on Sunday. All in all a perfect God day.
Love from Dr. Brenda
