Kathleen has served in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, for 30 years with Safina Street Network, an outreach working with vulnerable children and young people. In mid-May, they had a group of visitors from Germany for the second time. The guests had the opportunity to experience Tanzania and Safina’s work first-hand. Here is one of the reflections from a member of the group: This impression stayed with me throughout the entire trip: the more the children were integrated into stable, reliable structures, the more they were able to simply be children again. I particularly remember the acrobatic performances at the Ntyuka children’s home, which were of an astonishingly high standard – full of joy, trust and mutual respect. In all these experiences, one thing was central: an awareness of God’s presence and grace. We returned home feeling grateful and richly blessed by these diverse experiences. Praise God for the lives that He is changing, through those involved in the Safina Network. Ask that the Spirit would open the eyes of more children, to behold the love of Christ and claim him as their Lord and Saviour.
