Church bush wedding. 13th March

Well it is not often that a foreigner is asked to conduct the wedding service. And it was my privilege on 13th March. It was at a place called Bundwa. (for those who think it is typing error, it was not at Bunga.) They told us it was just off the main road. Huh! we drove for about 40 minutes to get to a place where we were to leave the car. Then we were to take a short walk to the house where the wedding was to be held. Short!"" Up the side of what seemed like Kilimanjaro and at least twice as far. But we got there.

The number of people,...Wow!

So there I was waiting for the bride to show up. It wasn't as if she had to come from a long way away. about 100m in-fact.

But any way the wedding went ahead.

It was fantastic to be part of really rural folk's wanting to be married not only by tribal expectations but also in the sight of God.
