An Eye-Opening Tour

Thursday June 14 was our "rest day." The day began for Marti, Angie and Chris at 8:00am with morning devotional at the Namwianga Clinic where Shepherd is the administrator. Chris, being the visiting preacher, was asked to bring a devotional thought. The chaplain led a song in English and a few in Tonga. We then toured the clinic and were impressed by the steady progress Shepherd and his team are making toward the goal of becoming a regional hospital.

After breakfast back at the Mbumwae's house, we loaded up for a tour of the rest of Namwianga Mission. We saw the radio station, boarding school, college, orphanage, basic school and dormitories. The primitive conditions were humbling. If the internet access will allow, we'll upload photos because words will fail.
