Dr. Robert Mbinda.
This past week, I had the great pleasure of covering the visit of The Father Dr. Robert Mbinda and His wife Mariam to the congregation of St John ELCA in Columbia Maryland. Dr. Mbinda an Anglican priest, and Leader of the Good Samaritan Orphanage in Mbeya, Tanzania offered four sermons of joy and thanksgiving to the people of St John for their efforts in helping to build the orphanage. One of these services offered a more open form, entertaining questions from the youth of St. John. We enjoyed hearing Dr. Mbinda's words of thanks, and of the wonderful children he has accepted charge of. Here are a few of the pictures of their visit. ............................................all images by and copyright of Jim Stepanik
