We are praising God for the wonderful things that God is doing in Tanzania!!!
God blessed our Sunday services yesterday in a great way. At one of our new church plants in the village of Mayoka, we had 52 people gather for an 8 am service without a building. Our assistant pastor Pelegrino preached the Gospel to these dear people, and six responded by receiving Christ as their Savior. In the village of Fumagira there was an excellent crowd, and two people received Christ as Savior. In Sengerema at our other new church plant, there were two who also received Christ as Savior. I preached in the village church of Igekemaja on Sunday morning, and we also had a good group in attendance for the morning service. I preached on soul-winning from Matthew 10, and the Lord seemed to really move in the hearts of the people. Many believers responded to the invitation to be better witnesses for Christ.
Early this morning (Monday) we began buying supplies to start building a church building at our new church plant in Mayoka. We also have the money to begin building at our other new church plant in Sengerema. We appreciate so much the Fellowship Baptist Church in Greeneville, Tennessee, for helping us with these two projects. We are also praying about another church planting opportunity in the village of Kitongo. This is another village without a Gospel witness. There are still so many of these villages that need to be reached for Christ. We would appreciate your continued prayers for these new church plants.
Another blessing is the funds that we received from a donor to purchase this piki-piki (motorcycle) for Pastor Pelegrino. The purchase of this motorcycle has allowed us to start this newest church plant in the village of Mayoka. Pastor Pelegrino is now able to preach an early service in Mayoka and then ride over to another village for a later service.
