Team Tanzania - Helping Hands - Paula Nauman

Without saying a word, people in Tanzania consistently offer help. From a young age, children will offer to carry anything you have in your hands. 

We saw this helpful spirit over and over again as we started our presentations to children yesterday. 

- On our way to the church near Mbulumbulu, the Land Rover we were in had a flat tire. Even though we were in a rural area, several young men came to offer help (and to observe).

- When we arrived at the church (a bit later than expected), many children helped to move our materials into the church. 

- We displayed several banners throughout our lessons, and immediately had volunteers to hold them. 

- We also had an excellent young drummer who stepped up to add the beat to our worship songs. 

All of these instances demonstrated an enthusiasm to serve others, which is a God-pleasing way to follow the example of Jesus’ life. We pray that we served the children in return by bringing them an afternoon of lessons about the Real Jesus.
