At the end of the month of July we once more attended our district convention in a little stadium in Moshi.
We thoroughly enjoyed the programme, especially the audio drama of the book of Jonah.
We particularly liked the period drama of the flight of the Christian Jews from Jerusalem prior to its fall to Roman Armies in 70 CE. It clarified many fascinating aspects of this account, in particular the sensations experienced by those who left behind businesses and fields and even friends because of Jesus’ prophetic warnings. History showed that many responded faithfully and were saved. Any who delayed or who gave up later and returned to the city were conscripted or perished in the fighting or because of the famine in the city. It is a situation that mirrors the dilemma facing many who sit on the fence rather than decisively taking their stand in these last days.
Only the eagle-eyed will spot one of the world’s most famous mountains.
This year, sadly, Kilimanjaro did not make her appearance during the programme, on account of heavy clouds. I include this photograph from 2008.
