A trip like no other.
I’ve made the trip from Mbeya to Dar es Salaam too many times to count but last Thursday it was like I did it for the first time ever. This time I did it on my motorcycle! What an incredible experience. The purpose of the trip was even more exciting though… to attend the dedication of Jonah, Ruth, Mark, 1&2 Timothy, Titus, and Philemon for the Sangu language community.
The Sangu have a special place in my heart for a few reasons; first it was the language project out of which the Mbeya-Iringa Cluster Project was born; second, my friend Mwasembe who accompanied me to Canada for three months in 2009 is from the Sangu tribe; and third, the Sangu have had a long struggle to get to this point - perhaps more so than others.
The celebration on Saturday in Utengule village on the edge of the Sangu plains was truly a party - and it was a party well deserved. It was attended by just about everyone from villagers to church leaders to government officials. It was a day that will only be overshadowed when the entire New Testament is dedicated!
