Last night our group stayed at Mbingu Sister’s Spiritual Centre, run by Catholic sisters. It rained before we left and the road was pretty rough.

This morning we went to Ebenezer Parish to dedicate a foundation stone, even though the walls of the new church building are already up. Bishop Mtenji has been ill and was not able to attend but his assistant Pastor Paulson and Pastor Faith, who we met yesterday, also joined us, an opportunity to do some more interviews with parishioners for her PHD research. We got to reconnect with Pastor Eliud, who visited our synod twice in the past and was representing the district pastor who couldn’t be there. The choirs and singing were again a highlight.
