Rain in torrents

 We were woken up by the most tremendous electric storm followed by real torrents of rain which turned all the minor roads into rivers of mud. So there was a drastic change in the program today.
The pastors wives still had their training which finished today, and everyone felt that it was really successful.
I was pleasantly surprised, by the arrival of Pastor Ephraim who together with Bertha have adopted Mary and I as their Mummy and Daddy, it has been a pleasure to have partnered with them over the last 8 years.
Ephraim has just been given a new church plant in an un-evangelised area. He had to set about building a church which is now well established, and has now sent out six church plants up in the hills just a single Rwandan evangelist  in a rented house, tasked with starting a house church.
He is full of enthusiasm for the immense task ahead.
Later in the morning we went to a newer hotel by the lake and had a cappuccino coffee and watched a fisherman working hard with a very small catch to show for it. Also down there, there is some wonderful bird life. In the afternoon we went to look around the splendid new annex to the guest house which is only partially open at present. Then off to the clinic to meet Dr Mark a dutch doctor who is over here for several years.
