This is inside an Anglican church in Tarime that God built. God has given the specifications of the building in a vision, however the bishop at the time did not support this project at all. Through God's own provision and without any assistance from the parent organisation they have managed to complete the building. |
 |
Some children in the same place as above. Joanna in the middle. |
 |
Focussed on the decorations hanging from the ceiling. |
 |
Another shot of children and young adults. |
 |
Children of the Sunday School, with Abby and the Sunday school teacher near the middle. |
 |
A double-rainbow on a rainy day in Tarime. |

The team is now in Sakawa. Practising "Watch the Lamb". Hayden as Simon of Cyrene, Cole as Jesus, Joanna (staring at Hayden) and Ilana as the two children. Josie (halved on far right) as centurion. |
 |
Ilana and Abby holding babies. Josie standing up on the right (truncated again). |
 |
Some of the locals in Sakawa. |
 |
Pounding and sifting cassava to make ugali. |
 |
Cole on his snare drum and Hayden with guitar. |
 |
Curious children with part of Keryn's head in the background. |
 |
A lone child on a rock. The church building in Sakawa can be seen in the background. |
 |
End of childrens' programme on Christmas day. |
 |
After Christmas service inside the main church (see the outline of steps for the altar). Often at the tithes & offerings time the people would offer up fruits, produce and animals. At the end of a service those items would be sold. Keryn is holding a black goat, which was staring at the white one. |
 |
The team gathered around the inflatable tree for the exchange of Christmas presents. |
 |
Katherine with the leaders of the church in Sakawa. |
 |
A bush walk to the local hill in Sakawa, with two massive rocks that can be seen from a distance. This is a view of the immediate area from near the peak. |
 |
Another view of the area. |
 |
The peak. |
 |
Two locals on top of a rock. |
 |
Cole on top of the peak. |
 |
I think there were cows down there which eventually made their way up the peak. |
 |
One of the better team photos. From left to right, back row: Ilana, Joanna, Hayden, Cole, Maria, Keryn, Bevan. Mid row: Abby, Josie. Front row: Katherine, Mansfield. |
 |
Sunset in Sakawa (I think). The colours turn out all wrong with this film/camera combination. |
 |
This is now in another village which I forgot the name for. But this is the place in which we played "Bug painting on the wall". Katherine inside the house which the team stayed in. The somewhat low door leads to another room. |
 |
Children of that village. |
 |
As above, plus Mansfield. |
 |
Who needs plugs when you have twigs to hold the wires in place? If you are from OSH, you did not see this picture...:p |
 |
After first church service, auctioning the chicken offering. |
 |
The team was in another village by the time this photo was taken, I think. This might be the village with the big house where we celebrated New Years'. This is a particularly good sunset with purple skies after a particularly good meeting. |
 |
This is a freaky boat ride in lake Victoria, on the "day off" for the team. |
 |
Windy day on the shore of lake Victoria. |
 |
The team became somewhat attached to the van, since it had traversed almost impossible terrain without rolling over. Because the driver was named Lawrence, the team eventually decided on the name Florence. Hence, this is Florence, the tincan from Japan that can. Except this time, she's playing "stuck in the mud", literally. The team walked. |
 |
By this time, this is the second to last village that the team ministered in. This is a view of that village. |
 |
Katherine was having a quiet time on her own on this rock. |
 |
One morning the team decided to take a walk up the local hill. This is the view from up high, notice the morning mist slowing lifting. |
 |
A partial team photo on top of that hill. From left to right: Katherine, Abby, Joanna, Keryn, Maria, Mansfield, Ilana, Cole, Hayden. |
 |
The team has just walked to the last village named Kidogo. Left to right: Joanna, Maria, Abby, Hayden. |
 |
The man on the left was once a priest, then turned to a witch doctor, then returned to the Lord :o) Here he is burning his witchcraft artifacts, covered by bits of palm as extra fuel. Burn baby burn... |
 |
Team on the return journey, having a meal in a restaurant in Tarime. Far table: Margaret (Gaspar's wife), Gaspar, Maria and Hayden. |
 |
Katherine, Cole, Keryn, Ilana, Abby and Josie on the food. |
