They Came to the Red Sea
It can be quite a challenge getting to some village churches. We drove as far as we could but this river was in the way, not to mention the 100 metre drop down to the water's edge.
River Transport
Our way across was a canoe made from a hollowed out log. No life jackets here and, yes, there are crocodiles in the water!
Taxi Service
A fleet of bicycles took us from the other side of the river - an hour's walk reduced to ten minutes of sheer panic or pleasure, depending on your point of view.
Children's Choir
A veritable band of angels singing heavenly music and attired in all the colours of creation.
Village Church
The local people built their own church. They made the bricks, cut poles for the roof, and thatched it themselves.
Local Housing
Most homes are constructed in this fashion, either square or round, with clay pressed into a network of wooden poles.
