Tonight is my last night in Mbeya. It has gone so quickly, and I have been blessed to get to know Philip and his wife as I have stayed in their home.
I’m now the proud possessor of three more African style dresses, including this one, which is definitely on the glam side (though I might have to wear black stockings under it so the white legs don’t show up so much.)
Since I’ve been here I have done five meetings – teaching the intercessors on Saturday night, the church service on Sunday morning, teaching women on Monday and youth on Tuesday, and a special meeting tonight. On Sunday afternoon as Philip was sharing his vision with me, the Lord spoke to my heart and said that he is called as an apostle, and I was to ordain him as such. When I asked him if he would be happy for me to do that, he was delighted, so tonight was an ordination service. Here he is with his wife receiving his ordination certificate.

Now we are back at the house, and the electricity is out, so I am sitting here typing this by candlelight and praying that the power will come back on before it gets too late so I can get my bags packed. Tomorrow we have to be away from here by 6am in order to get to the Malawi border in time for me to catch the bus to Blantyre, a journey which they tell me will take the best part of two days. So there is a pretty good chance I won’t be posting anything for the next couple of days.
