Join us for an incredibly powerful episode of TempleBound with the remarkable Brenda Angle. Featured in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Newsroom article, "Tanzanian Saints Visit Nairobi Kenya Temple Open House: The Impossible Journey," Brenda shares her awe-inspiring story.
What started as a simple idea to bring 25-50 people from Tanzania to the Nairobi Kenya Temple open house for their first temple experience quickly snowballed into a miraculous undertaking. Hear how Brenda, driven by a deep love for the people of Africa, organized transportation, accommodation, and even passports for hundreds, overcoming immense logistical and financial challenges.
In this episode, Brenda recounts:
- Her personal calling to serve in Africa, leading to 15 trips over seven years.
- The unwavering faith of the Tanzanian Saints, who made extraordinary sacrifices to attend.
- The miraculous provisions of funds, food, and solutions that appeared when needed most.
- The beautiful chaos of getting over 500 people, including 98 orphans, to the temple.
- The profound impact of the temple experience on individuals who had never left their villages.
- Inspiring stories, including that of Molly, a former street child who became a wealthy man and adopted 35,000 children, and his profound experience in the temple.
This episode is a testament to the power of faith, the adversary's opposition to sacred work, and the boundless love of God for His children. It will ignite your soul and deepen your appreciation for temples.
