First meeting of the volunteer church on the rocks
Some kids drawn to our worship music I don't know if I have talked much about church at the village or in Singida. I know I have mentioned Arusha Vineyard Church during my visits to Arusha. To be honest, I have never liked going to the local churches in my area. The first reason is obvious, my Swahili is not very good and the services are in the local language. Again obviously (at least I hope it is obvious), that is my fault not theirs. Second reason is I get a strong internal focus from these churches in that everything I do understand is mostly about what they are doing for themselves with very little to nothing mentioned about community outreach. Some of this may be to my not being fluent in Swahili but some of it has to do with my coming from a church that has a 50/50 focus at least with a full 50% of the focus on community outreach/service. It is something that must be mentioned that I know not all churches are this way in Tanz...
