First, thank you for thi...Dear Scott and Jennifer,<br /><br />First, thank you for this and all your other chronicles as they give us insights to your lives and work that we would otherwise never have. They also help us empathize and pray for you.<br />Second, thank you for all you do in service to God - both intentionally and unintentionally. In my mind's eye, I can see Scott in the border official's office patiently listening while the man rants and raves. It reminded me how the Lord Jesus, when He was reviled, reviled not again (1 Peter 2:23). <br />I think you were doing double service. You were serving Christ and gave witness to His patience and humility. And you served as an example for others like me who all too often (daily) fail to be humble and fail to be patient and fail to be forgiving. May God grant you continued humility, patience and forgiveness and grant to me (and any others who need it) the same qualities in some measure.<br />You know, despite the trials of checkpoints, perhaps you can see the Lord's help and protection in that you weren't required to pay fines or fees and that the immigration people at the Tanzanian border took pity on you and aroused the missing official so you could be cleared. Also, maybe some police and immigration people don't expect you to pay them bribes since you're not working for a "rich" NGO and when they see you are Christians, figure that they won't get much out of you or are ashamed to "shake you down" because they know that real Christians are always giving away their stuff and their lives for others.harrykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11630436481196867741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176735909708151146.post-20589867306631025892009-09-02T14:34:48.711-07:002009-09-02T14:34:48.711-07:00wow. thank you for this post! i'd be lying if ...wow. thank you for this post! i'd be lying if i said it didn't make me more than a little apprehensive about the travel my husband and i will inevitably be doing in that continent, but it is very enlightening to get such a detailed first-hand account! Praying for your stress levels :)<br /><br /><a href="http://burdenbearersintl.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Burden Bearers International</a><br /><a href="http://honestandlasting.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">the great adventure</a>katylinvwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09248951104776233083noreply@blogger.com
