Meeting Hosted by Sayenda Congregation
July 14, 2002

This is the crowd who attended the meeting hosted by the Sayenda congregation on July 14, 2002.  Sayenda village is located about 70 km southeast of Blantyre in Mulanje District, Malawi.  It had been a long time since I was in this village area. The brethren were ready and very enthusiastic about our coming to be with them for the Lord's Day service.  When we arrived about 1/4 km from the place of worship, the sisters met us in order to give us a traditional African greeting of their particular area with an escort to the place of worship.  As usual, African services coupled with traditional activities after dismissal of services make for a long time.  However, nobody seems to mind. Instead, the people enjoy their time of fellowship.  I was the guest speaker and Davidson Kasambwe did the translating. --Jim Franklin
