traffic.....

Traffic is always tough here, and at certain times it is worse! It can take up to an hour to travel the 10 minute drive to our home! I took this picture while we were waiting to inch forward.
After a time, the passengers in the 2 busses started to hang out the windows, shouting and waving their arms (some sort of competitive discussion, I suppose) Bored, I guess, anyway, I thought I would share it with you.....

New Roof.....

We have been baking our church people from week to week. Finally, we put a covering for shade. It made a real difference! Our temperatures average between 30 - 35C, so this was a big deal for us!

Kinshasa Burger!

This is a hamburger Kinshasa style. It is the size of an average dinner plate, and has lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese, fried eggs, and french fries.......possibly cole slaw, I forget....it stands about the height of a hand !! It could be breakfast, lunch and supper.......WOW!

with deepest gratitude......

we thank this couple for the time offered to help us start up a new church! They are the greatest people to work with and we have come to love them so much! They are going to be missed a lot!
Have a good rest, guys, and don't forget us! Oh, and the cute guy in the middle is my grandson!

We are growing!

time to participate......

this photos is begging for the right caption. Enter your suggestions in the comments, and I will post one.

This is a small map showing the area of our new church. The intersection of 7 ! yes 7 streets! 

We seem to have ‘come and go’ church service. Our speaker is so loud it attract attention. There are literally hundreds of people passing by during service. Some stand outside ot listen, some enter in.

As you know, we are sharing the location with a bar/restaurant. God has given us favour, over time, with the staff. Their....what?.....bouncer? is eager to set up chairs and help to take them down again. The waitresses have welcomed us with smiles and warmth. 

On Sunday we were told that when customers come in for the bar, they are told, by the staff, “we do not serve alcohol, this is church!”

Perhaps some will leave with their ‘thirst’ eternally quenched! May it be so!
