Strong vertical and horizontal relationship was built through conversations, singing and praising God, laughter plus plenty of snacks they had on the way. The breakdown of the ferry at the Nile and the storm on the boat ride pro-longed the journey but God’s mighty hand was with them as no danger befell them. All in all, many testimonies and praises they came back with were
