Betioky Village, 12:15pm

We were all seated under the blazing sun just minutes after riding here in a truck during the pouring rain.

My "lambahoany" (traditional skirt) was flapping in the cool and strong wind. The colors of these traditional clothing makes the setting so perfect, reflecting the beauty of God's creation. Some, mostly men, are seated under the shade of the biggest tree in the field, which is hard to miss. The rest of the women, little ones and the "vazaha" (our nicknames as the foreigners/boss) were scattered around on the dry, grassy and sandy area. God's people sharing testimonies; His goodness and miracles in their lives.

God is saying: "I am here with these people. My presence is here with them, every single one." My heart is moved and touched as I'm seated here. The words from Deuteronomy‬ being preached by Freemaann (disciple doing his practical work).

‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭6:4-5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.”
