Building construction and site development continues

Thanks to the ongoing input of William and Eunice Rea and Joseph Tillya the contractor the practical work of construction and site development continues unabated even although the McKinnons are in UK. The following pictures show the ongoing work in classrooms, water development, and landscaping at BBC, Moshi.

Promoting the BBC

Allan and Jacqui have been travelling the length and breadth of UK over the past two months speaking about the work of God in Berea Bible College and Moshi Christian Children's Centre. The invitations of various churches, schools and colleges have given them many opportunities and they have been greatly encouraged by the interest of God's people in what is going on in and around Moshi. If you have been able to hear them during their travels, then a huge thank-you to you for your support. They are very excited about the imminent return to Moshi and their opportunity to be involved directly again in their ministry areas. In the meantime they have the 'arduous task' of two and half weeks in the USA visiting with two churches there (in Spokane and Los Angelos) and also enjoying some holiday. This chance to recharge the batteries before going back to Moshi will be a special time for them.
Here is a list of some of the places they have visited: Strathaven Evangelical Church, Lanarkshire; Victoria Evangelical Church, Glasgow; Hillbank Evangelical Church, Dundee; Interlink, Glasgow; 125th anniversary celebrations with Interlink at Hamilton College, Hamilton; The Grange Baptist Church, Letchworth; Doune Evangelical Church, Stirlingshire; GLO Centre, Motherwell; GLO Tilsley College, Motherwell; Netherauldhouse Evangelical Church, Glasgow; Greenview Evangelical Church, Glasgow; Opal Trust, Lockerbie; Bethany Evangelical Church, Dumfries; Rushmere Christian Fellowship, Ipswich; Normanton Primary school, Yorkshire; Emmanuel College, Gateshead; Cutsyke Gospel Hall, Yorkshire; Westwoodhill Evangelical Church, East Kilbride; Olivet Evangelical Church, Falkirk; Abbot Hall, Dunfermline; Echoes, Bath; Meadowview Chapel, Honiton; Springbank Evangelical Church, Campbeltown; Ebeneezer Evangelical Church, Motherwell.
If you or your church would like to have some more detailed information or a copy of a power point presentation outlining the work of Berea Bible College, Moshi Christian Children's Centre, Kanisa la Biblia, etc., then please post your email on the comments section and we will get back to you.

TFL Recreation

TFL enjoy the BBC facilities

Training for Life (see previous posting) have been going on with their teaching programme among the 24 residential students. The course has been well received and the teachers have enjoyed the interaction with the students on various topics. The students and organisers have appreciated the facilites being provided by BBC and this has helped for a successful course. The students will soon be moving out into work placements and planning their ascent of Kilimanjaro. A computer training programme will also be scheduled for later in the course.

BBC get their own water supply

Thanks to sponsors from Northern Ireland we were able to complete the installation of our permanent borehole on site at Berea Bible College. The survey was done about a year ago and when the contractor finally got on site for drilling he discovered that the water was still there where it was predicted to be previously! A good sign. The well is over 50 metres deep and is capable of producing 2500 litres per hour. The water supply will ensure that we have plenty for our day to day requirements as well as a green site with luxurious gardens and all that just for the cost of pumping it to the surface. This will prove to be much cheaper and of better quality than the existing town water supply which can be irratic and is of poorer quality.
The pictures above and below respectively show the drilling in progress and the new well head being established.
