Outreach to Manguze (10 - 12 August 2007)

(gallery here)

A tired by rejoicing team of co-workers arrived in the early hours of Monday morning after the weekend of services in the Manguzi area (see maps below). The tent (which can hold about 3,000 people) was "jam packed" for the meetings, 10 to 12 August 2007.

Evangelisation, counselling, handing out of Bibles, feeding the hungry - all of this was part of the intensive weekend services. Rev E.H. Stegen preached at many of the meetings and young people gave their testimonies. The photos (see gallery) do the talking and you will get the feel of the weekend by looking at the great variety of scenes)
