Galuja


We had an amazing experience on Tuesday in Guluja--about 3 hours from Beira. A very rural church--many of the children had never seen a white person. Received a welcome fit for kings--they served us goat and chicken! A few weeks ago during a storm a tree fell on their church. They hope to rebuild--but have very limited resources. We took an offering and raised about 10 percent of the cost for the tin roof. Included in the offering were pledges for one tin of nuts and one tin of maize. (Makes you reconsider how you define generosity!) They were very happy. The picture is of the regional pastor giving the money to the local church leaders.
