Greetings, friends. As I write this blog entry, it is late in the evening, and I still need to pack for out trip which we will be leaving on in about 8 hrs. After I teach in the morning service in Buguruni, we’ll head to the beach south of Dar es Salaam where there is a youth camp called Bamba. From what we hear, it is VERY rustic, meaning no phone access, no running water, only a bit of generator driven power for a couple hours in evening, etc. But our team is up for the adventure (I think) and I’m glad they’ll join me. I’m speaking for the week on the subject of discipleship – tied in with World Cup (who are you following – “It’s time” to choose!), and we truly would appreciate your prayers. The camp is for high schoolers, some are missionary kids, and others are “cousins.” When we return, I’ll be sure to let you know how it goes.

Thanks very much, and blessings to you! Eric
