We do not allow ourselves much Sabbath, a day of rest, in the U.S. Sabbath is commanded by God way back in Exodus and we took Sabbath today. Church started at 10:30, so with travel by foot, we had to leave at 9:59, the church was accross the compound. We had a good sleep and a slow morning. Church lasted about 3 hours and Patrick gave a really cool testimony and the people seemed to really get it. When he talked about his past and the transformation that has taken place, there were a lot of amens being said. I gave a small lesson on peace. Not peace that is absent of conflict, but peace that comes from God that exists even in the midst of conflict. After church walked back to our room, sat on our beds and...fell asleep. Ah Sabbath!
Nap was followed by lunch which was followed by a community meeting where we presented the fufu machine. Mama Captain, received the machine and explained that what the machine will do for the village. They are assembling a team of three to establish the rate people will pay to use the machine.
We then sat in on a staff meeting from the varous areas of the farm. Beef production, vetables, rabbits, and tractor. Each area gave an update and the current challenges they are facing and they looked to Patrick and I for input. The input we were able to give was in the organization and procees which they were using. The team is strong and the future is bright for this farm.
As the meeting ended dusk had set in setting up a beautiful sunset. The sunsets here rival the ones I have watched with my family in Maui.
One more day in the bush...
Grace and Peace,
Michael
