All thru our day there are things that happen that we could just take as chance or coincidence, but are they?

Who are the Maasai?



Good question.. and before our trip to Tanzania all I knew about them was what we saw on Discovery Channel...
Well ,what and experience when we went with Jill (and 12+ others in 1 car) to visit the Maasai. It was like going to another world, not enough that we were across the world from "home", but now it was like we were going even further. Read this story I found... go to the link in the post below and at the bottom select article box "Jesus among the Maasai"... couldn't get the link to work?

So our experience was with a church. This church was under a tree. They had recently built a building though and were waiting for the $ to finish it...



as we approached the church I was thinking, what are we going to do, say,... but as we joined them it was so amazing they were just glad to have us there with them...I think God brought us there to see how unimportant our stuff is...

it was an awesome visit sharing with them the story of Samuel and singing in half English and Swahili ...The children were so amazed by the video camera! And wow can they play soccer!

They could not stop touching Cole's head... They don't see many blondes...

So it was incredible and we left exhausted and soaked (from sweat) but now "knew" the Maasai...

    Wow, Chris, I never got to hear all y'all's stories when we spent time together in Tanzania. Sounds like God has put a Tanzania sized imprint on your heart, and you know what that means...
