Celebration, African style

So, there has been another very cool happening. The day of the well launch party, Pastor Sylvester announced he is starting a new church in that area. We had done a crusade meeting at the village center called Sidundo, a mile or so from the school/well site. After we left the village, Tom and his team did another crusade and had a very strong response. Then, Sylvester had his first worship service for the church he is starting on Sunday. He found a place to meet that would hold about 40 people. The problem is that about 70 showed up! Today, when Sylvester was telling Tom how everything had gone, he asked if, in light of the last several days of work and interchange, he could call his new church "Celebration!" How cool is that? Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to talk to Sylvester and confirm our excitement at this honor.
