Agricultural Production
Early September, we began with land preparation, clearing and digging out stumps for the Hibiscus and Corn project. Additional opportunity to share the good news of the Kingdom as we interact with people on day to day basis. Roselle hibiscus which is called (mutete) in the local language, grow 7 feet tall and takes about six months to mature.The roselle plant is well known for it's fleshy leaves that can be cooked as greens but then its dried calyces is used to make a delicious deep-red and sour juice which contains abundant amounts of natural antioxidants such as Vitamin C. This is part of an answered prayer.
Camp Meeting at Amana
Brothers Jaco, John and sister Maria arrived earlier, before everyone else, to help with the preparation for the camp meeting. With more hands the preparation went well and we successfully completed building a traditional boundary wall for the Amana mission house.
On 16 September, everyone arrived at Amana for the Camp meeting. It was a weekend of inspiring messages and fellowship. Our family was encouraged and humbled by the fellowships. We were also blessed to see some SALT group members joining us for the camp meeting.
The children also had fun chasing chickens and watching the bees that were all over the kitchen searching for water, though they stung some of the children, praise God none of them are allergic to bees.
After the Camp meeting all the families departed and safely arrived at their destinations.
Brother Jaco, brother John and sister Maria remained with our family for a few days.
