which had looked like this two hours earlier when I left home.
Then I looked at the people around me, everyone of them dusty and dirty...
and I wondered how people who live in constant dust would understand the concept of the Living Water, of cleanliness, and what’s more, inner cleanliness that lasts for ever!
The talk was inspired by the morning’s water run – a diverse experience as men, women, children and animals all partook of the same rather brown water.
One washed his clothes with the help of his shoe.... (if you’re wondering what is in his ear, it’s likely to be a film canister carrying his snuff. The large loops in people’s ear lobes are used to carry all sorts of very useful things.)
And then everyone dipped in.........
And finally all the containers had to go back in upright, together with all the women..........for the 6km return trip.
And in the end, after all that, not only did the water inspire the message, but the water containers were then used as the ‘pulpit'!
