Our SIL office celebrated the Wycliffe Day of Prayer a week or so ago. We split up into groups and moved together through stations that focused on different parts of the Lord's Prayer. The stations drew us into sharing our testimonies, eating together, praying for unity and love in the office, and for Bible translation here and in the bigger world.It was really good to do this in mixed groups of expats and Tanzanians, focusing on what we share in Christ.
At the end we wanted to take a group photo. We had to wait for a few people, so we were all standing in a group practicing our smiles. Before we gave up and the group fell apart, one person had the great idea to lead us in "Cha Kutumaini Sina" ("My Hope is Built on Nothing Less"), a well-loved hymn that most people know.
It was a joyous, unified ending to a great day of prayer. I'm thankful for the group I get to be a part of, and will miss them while I'm gone!
