Heaven will surely be worth it all. Your family is one of a kind. III John 2. Brotherly, Windell and the Fikes family. |
| 7th December 2009 Jan Smith | Congratulations Lindsey! - From: The Month of November: Fast and Furious Your graduation pictures are beautiful. Your inner light truly shines! My girls still remember the few times our family spent together because of the impression you and your sister made. Your influence is far reaching! Sorry to hear you were so ill. Glad to hear you are on the mend. Jan |
| 7th December 2009 Debbie Heck | hello - From: The Month of November: Fast and Furious Glad you have survived your very busy month, but most especially we are glad to hear Linz is on the mend.

| 2nd December 2009 Cheryl Cozort | Praise God! - From: Soon to Go Forth It is wonderful to see the fruits of your labor so visible and tangible. May God bless each of these men and their families.

| 17th October 2009 Rob Redden | Prayers and thoughts - From: Worship in a Dry Land Hello Jensens, Thank you for your updates, and I am so thankful to the dear Lord that Jacob is doing much better. And, yes, George, reading your description in this travelblog makes me appreciate the comforts of America. I hope we never take them for granted. God bless your work and your health. Love, Uncle Robert |
| 8th October 2009 Cindy | Thankful - From: Worship in a Dry Land Thank you for the encouraging words, George. Your family is a blessing to all you know. We enjoyed seeing Julia last week and are thankful for her safe return to you all. We're also thankful Jacob is better. Love to you all, and looking forward to seeing you again! |
| 8th October 2009 Ed Crookshank | We can identify! - From: Worship in a Dry Land Sorry to hear about Jacob being sick. However, we are glad that he is better. If he lost 10 lbs. he must have to stand in the same place twice to see his shadow. We sure can identify with your trip. We appreciate the work you are doing. Ed & Lina |
| 7th October 2009 Steve Holcomb & Family | Hello - From: Worship in a Dry Land Hello George! Glad Jacob is getting better. Thanks for the words. We definitely take too many things for granted at times. I try to remind myself to be thankful for what we have. It was good to see Julia last week. Missed the rest of the family! Take care and God bless your family. Steve |
| 7th October 2009 Heck Family | Thankful for Jacobs recovery - From: Worship in a Dry Land Dear Jensens, We are so very thankful to hear that Jacob is recovering. That boy didn't have 10 pounds to lose! Thank you for sharing your day of worship with us. It does remind us of what we have to be thankful for and also makes us feel more in touch with you all. We are praying for you constantly. We are so glad Jewels is home safe and sound! We miss you and love you! Dustin wants you to know we have a new "stray". A Boxer named Duchess. She is very skittish, but is taming down. Love, Debbie & David, Joshua, Candice, Robert and Dustin |
| 7th October 2009 Kathryn | Thankful - From: Worship in a Dry Land We are so thankful that Jacob is doing better. We fuss about so many little things sometimes and forget the most important--being together with other Christians for the mutual edification gained by so doing. Thank you for the reminder! Love to you all~ |
| 11th September 2009 Laura & Amy Jensen | ewwwww... - From: Tales of Mice & Men not hungry now!!! |
| 5th September 2009 Kathryn, Nathan, Miles & Silas | Our Comments - From: Tales of Mice & Men I read this post to the boys and they agreed that the fur would be the hardest part to get down. They have eaten bones in salmon so that could be dealt with--but fur!!!??? They agreed that they would prefer to try ox brains over mice! Thanks so much for keeping us updated on your life there. We sure enjoyed our extra daughter at PTP! Love you all, Kathryn & crew |
| 5th September 2009 Allan Shafer | MMM MMM Good - From: Tales of Mice & Men Of all the blogs you've sent so far I believe this one is by far the one that choked me up the most. I will be looking at those corn "dogs" at the county fair in a little different light. |
| 4th September 2009 Donna White | Mice on a stick - From: Tales of Mice & Men Hi Joy, Enjoyed reading this story. Time permitting, I think I will read it to the ladies at our first Ladies Bible Class this next Wednesday, before our Potluck Luncheon :) Love to all... Donna |
| 4th September 2009 Debbie | Ick - From: Tales of Mice & Men Perhaps I would have enjoyed your post more if I had not sat down to read it while eating my breakfast. Ahem.... |
| 3rd September 2009 Rebecca | - From: Tales of Mice & Men I'm all about those pork chops on a stick, but I agree that a mouse may be a bit much!! Maybe I should tell Andrew though, that it's wasteful when we have a mouse in the house, to kill it then throw it away. We could be feeding our family a rare treat! :D I'm glad your trip has gone well and know your family is very happy to have the two of you back with them. Love you all! |
| 3rd September 2009 Amy Hester | foraging - From: Tales of Mice & Men Hello to all the Jensens! Thank you for the insightful blog to keep us "plugged in" to all your experiences. When I got over my disbelief, I could see the mice-on-a-stick as a means of survival for these indigenous people. "Unless you believe, you will not understand." - St. Augustine, 354 AD - 430 AD. We love to forage too, but dandelion and plantain are about as far as it goes! Paul just returned from a mission trip to the Marshall Islands. The natives fed him fresh coconut, red snapper and noni fruit. Maybe not what he would have eaten here at home, but he didn't go hungry. I trust God it caring for you through all your new experiences as well as trials, even if you can not always distinguish one from the other. Blessings Always, Amy Hester |
| 27th August 2009 windell | teaching the young - From: How shall the young secure their hearts?

May God bless them to continue to love the Word of Righteousness and teach it. We love and appreciate all 6 of the Jensens. Brotherly, Windell |
| 27th August 2009 windell | - From: Mobile Bible School The concept of teaching and bringing those "thirsty for righteousness" in without "gimmicks" is refreshing to hear. You are sowing the Word in much fertile soil. God bless the Jensens and those other brothers and sisters with a harvest of many souls to the kingdom. III John 2. The Fikes family |
| 26th August 2009 brian anderson | lead on brothers - From: Mobile Bible School you continue to bless many with your efforts and inspire me as well. i continue to use your study guide to lead others to Christ. i'm looking forward to introducing you to these brothers and sisters when we all gather on the other side of eternity. i love you and your family for all the great things that you do for the kingdom's sake. lead on brothers. brian |

| 16th August 2009 Steve Holcomb | - From: How shall the young secure their hearts? George, I don't find it too nepotistic at all. We can't forget the effort that our children put forth, they need encouragement also. Take care! |

| 24th January 2009 ferrell Hinds | I know how you feel - From: A Close Call I really do know how you feel as Kenneth and I were in a little accident in Aug. last year. We were neither one injured but the car was damaged but repairable. We were thankful for both those facts. It is a very scarey feeling to be going through the process of the accident. I occasionally relive it in my mind as though I am viewing it from the outside looking at it. I feel the bounce of the car as it settles down and I realize I am not hurt and that Kenneth wasn't either. Then I look at the car and see what happened and realize it could have been so much worse. So yes I know the feeling. I am so glad for you that your accident wasn't worse and that all survived. Love Ferrell |

We are so thankful and grateful to the Lord for sparing all those in this accident. As is often the case in Africa it is not if you will have a serious accident but just simple a matter of when you will have it. You will continue to be in our prayers. just ken |
| 24th January 2009 molly | so thankful - From: A Close Call I am so thankful everyone was ok. That bus must have been flying... |
| 9th January 2009 George and Joy | GPS - From: Our Sunday in Magadini Yes, George does have one, but he forgot to bring it Sunday! :) |
| 8th January 2009 Kipton | GPS - From: Our Sunday in Magadini Do you have a GPS system to help find these places later? |
| 7th January 2009 Deboraw | Good Job - From: Girl's Seminar Joy, Very good post. We always look forward to reading your entries. Smile. So, you DO have the TIME problem. We had that in Jamaica--a lot. When you find the magical connector that opens up the minds of these kids so that they make the connection between what is being taught and the application... Very few really seem to make that connection. Sad but true...I remember two in particular in my teaching experience. I was teaching on modesty, and halter tops. She said "but I wear halter tops!" and never came back to church. The other was similar, but I was teaching on 'being kind', and that we shouldn't make fun of other children. The young girl didn't say anything verbally, but she was rather well off, and her family was rather snobbish...and you could see it in her eyes--she stopped coming to church also. The saying is so true, 'Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; Christianity has been tried and found difficult'. Only of course because we make it that way, but it should change us, and most of us don't like change...often even change for the better. Keep up the good work. smile-- Love you all, Donevy |
| 7th January 2009 John Moore | an epiphany - From: Big Game Hunting and a Youth Get-Together Hey George, all these years I thought and Impala was something one drives--you know like a car (Ha! Ha!). I guess I was "berry" wrong (private joke for all you internet lurkers). Jensen family, we think of you often and thank God for your continued faithfulness to the cause of Christ. You are an encouragement to so many and know that Africa has been blessed by your presence. May God continue to bless your good work. You are in our prayes. John |
| 7th January 2009 ken | - From: Girl's Seminar Always something special, always something new, always something exciting, always something valuable, that pretty much sums up your work in Moshi. Girls Class-Terrific idea! God bless you. just ken |
| 1st January 2009 Patrick Swayne | Wow - From: Big Game Hunting and a Youth Get-Together You all must have quite a large freezer to store all of that! I'm glad you all got to have some fun though. |
| 20th December 2008 Lindsey | Washing machine blues - From: What We've Been Doing Hello All Jenson's , It was nice to see you at Arusha the other day . Anyway's , a couple of weeks ago , I found a taruntula-like , red , big , and hairy spider in the washing machine . Thankfully dead . So now I think twice about sticking my hand in those clothes....Thanks for the spi- , I mean pictures ! :-) Lindsey |
| 19th December 2008 king | Important work that you do - From: What We've Been Doing What a thrill it is to read your newsletters. Your work is so important to the progress of the Kingdom. Very few of us can say we feel overwelmed with our work in the church. The Jensens are an inspiration. Keep it up the Lord's work because one day you'll find it takes longer to rest then to get tired. Speaking of jogging.. I like jogging, except for the part after you put on the sneakers! |
| 18th December 2008 Shasta | - From: What We've Been Doing Joy .... you will be the reason why I do not SLEEP tonight!!!! The only thing that could be worst is if it were a huge ROACH!!! |
| 18th December 2008 kup | spiders - From: What We've Been Doing Spiders are like snakes-I only hate big one's little one's, small one's and big one's, live ones and dead one's. Thank you no for the picture of the spider. It was so nice to have two views of the spider. Maybe the "hunters" could shoot it!!!!!!!!!!! just ken |
| 9th December 2008 windell | Congratulations - From: Back to Busy The Airport congregation was glad to help you buy a new stove. Your visit recently was a great encouragement to us. Jacob, congratulations upon your graduation. We look forward to much fruit harvested to the Master by you and all the George Jensen family. God bless all of you in faithful labors in His Cause. |
| 3rd December 2008 kup | - From: Back to Busy Glad you are back in the saddle so to speak and enjoying your work in Moshi again. The New Stove sounds wonderful and I know, having stuck my feet up under your table several times, it will be used to the greatest good. I was thinking that you probably won't be cooking on the Barbi much with the new all gas stove, too bad, because there are not many women I know that can cook a graduation cake like the one you made on a barbi. You are something else woman!! Have a wonderful week. With much love and a bushel basket full of good wishes, hugs and thanksgiving for all the good work your whole family is doing in Tanzania. God bless. just ken |
| 3rd December 2008 Donevy | Duh- - From: Back to Busy Say, I forgot, congratulations, Jacob! God bless. Donevy |

| 29th August 2008 Reda Redding | - From: We Made It - From One Side of the World to the Other Thanks for sharing! I hope you enjoy your time here even though I know it will not be completely relaxing:) Will you be in Washington state while you are here in the states? |

| 7th August 2008 Tim F. | WHAT??? - From: Cost of Living You mean missionaries aren't living large on American $$$ after all, like we always hear? ;-) |
| 7th August 2008 Patrick Swayne | Hmm.... - From: Cost of Living The prices are actually quite similar to those in Melbourne... you would think I was living out in the bush somewhere as well. America truly is a blessed place. |
| 6th August 2008 Rebecca | - From: Cost of Living Very interesting post! I was wondering how things compare over there. Can't wait to see all of you! RR |
| 18th July 2008 Anita Hochdorf | Furlough is not necessary. - From: LEARNING LESSONS FROM MIRIAM Just kidding! I KNOW furlough is necessary and very much deserved! Sounds like good things are happening up there in Moshi. Julia, I'm proud of you, as always, for your willingness to speak, and your ability to do it well. It sounds like Julia had a great lesson as well. Love y'all! Nita |
| 23rd June 2008 Patrick Swayne | Sounds Great! - From: Campaign Overview It sounds like everything went really well; hopefully the follow up will be fruitful. I'll continue to pray for God to give the increase! In Christian Love, Patrick |
| 7th June 2008 Patrick Swayne | campaign - From: Safari for Souls 2008 - Moshi, TZ Everything looks good so far; I hope this is able to do a lot of good. I wonder if the Pentecostals would approve of what that lady is doing to her husband? If she thinks she is right, shouldn't she be trying to win her husband with her chaste conversation coupled with fear? "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." I'll be praying for you all. |
| 5th June 2008 Darryl Lewis | - From: Safari for Souls 2008 - Moshi, TZ Thank you for taking the time to keep us updated. It helps us a whole lot. We appreciate you and are praying for you. |
| 4th June 2008 Darryl Lewis | thank you - From: Mud Bogging in Tanzania Thank you for taking care of our kids (Sara Beth, Lesley & the rest) while they're with you. You have worked very hard; we appreciate you. |
| 2nd June 2008 Don Wade | If only more were like you... - From: An Addition to the Body I really enjoyed the article "A Living Sacrifice," by Lindsey Anne Jensen. I will only say that if more of our young people were as spiritually minded as your article indicates that you are, well, then so much would be different in our world today. I applaud Women of Hope and the Christian Courier for putting this article online for all to read. Very nice job!! |
| 28th May 2008 Patrick Swayne | report - From: Mud Bogging in Tanzania You would think that the drivers of the vans would carry some 2x4's to put under the tires when they get stuck... it works with ice and snow, so I would assume it would work there. Well, glad you made it out safe. |
| 26th May 2008 Patrick Swayne | English Muffins? - From: Children's Bible Class I can't tell what the inside of them is like, but the outside of them looks more like American Biscuits. :) Good to hear that the kids are enjoying the lessons and that plans are coming along for the campaign. I hope that whatever situations are troubling you all will be sorted out as well. Be steadfast, unmoveable, and always abounding! |
| 13th May 2008 ferrell Hinds | Pioneering women - From: Children's Bible Class All of you are really learning what it must have been like for the pioneering women in our country. You may have a few of the more modern things but beating the rugs to get them clean is really getting down to the old ways. That kind of work in our country is really not so far removed from our times thpough. I know that rug beating was done even within my memory. It may be done in some more primative areas of this country even yet. Any way you are all learning some basic stuff and when you do have a modern sweeper you will really appreciate it. Ferrell |
| 13th May 2008 kup | I'm hungary - From: Children's Bible Class What's the deal you putting all these pictures of good stuff to eat? I'm trying to lose weight and you are making me want to go to Tanzania and eat!! I think your rug cleaning with a stick is just soon to be over with, you'll have a new more modern way to do it. Hope all is well and ya'll are doing good. God bless. just ken |
| 13th May 2008 Tanzanita | Keep up the Good Work! - From: Children's Bible Class Hey Jensen's, you are doing a good work. I know you are excited about your furlough, but we're going to miss you when you are gone. We love y'all! Nita Hochdorf |
| 1st April 2008 Barney Roe | Good to hear from you - From: Meet Don Don looks impressive and I would think that you will be much more secure with him as you new family member. If possible, please be available to speak at Brentwood on your next visit. God bless. |
| 31st March 2008 Dustin | Gazelle ribs? - From: Meet Don What kind of meat do gazelle ribs taste like? And I like your new dog! German shepherds are Nathan's favorite dog. We can't wait to see you. Love, Dustin and family |
| 21st March 2008 frances | Hi! - From: An Addition to the Body I enjoyed your article in The Christian Courier, I will be popping by now and again to read your Blog. God bless you! |
| 11th March 2008 Janine | Oh No! Snakes - From: Snakes Anyone? It's nice to see that Julia's made it home all right... but Julia is that really you, the one that has sat behind me in services for the last couple of months? It does look as if you are holding it at some distance, a little more than your sister. Janine |
| 10th March 2008 Emily Purdom | No fair! - From: Snakes Anyone? Ok...So it is totally NOT fair that ya'll got to go to a snake park! I'd love to do that cause I like snakes! Maybe I can get Lydia to bring me one back.....Love you guys! Keep up the great work you are doing there! ~Emily |
| 10th March 2008 Jeana | Glad to see that you are becoming one with nature Jensen family. - From: Snakes Anyone? Hope all is well. I love the rain and the rainbow. The things that seem so mundane to some still create a feeling of awe of our Creator. Some of his creatures I surely could have done without! Like the snake. Love you guys and I thought I would visit but not after the snake photos!! |
| 9th March 2008 Patrick Swayne | hmm.... - From: Snakes Anyone? Does this qualify as a snake handling service? :) |
| 9th March 2008 Ferrell Hinds | Snakes !! NOOOOOO!!! - From: Snakes Anyone? I agree with just ken. I don't want any part of the snakes. Well I might look at them through glass but no touching for me. And I don't want to live close to them. That would include living in Africa or any place else they might be abundent. Ferrell |
| 8th March 2008 Jonathan Stanley | python - From: Snakes Anyone? Hello Jensen family. I'm studying snakes for my Masters degree so I can help you out identifying one of those snakes that you're not sure of. The python you have pictured is a Southern African Rock Python. It is one of two species of python in Tanzania. I'm not sure what the other unidentified snake is. I went to Tanzania a few times for the Safari for Souls campaigns when I was a student at Freed-Hardeman. I had heard about the snake park but never had a chance to go there. I enjoyed your pictures very much. Keep up the good work you are doing and God bless.....Jonathan Stanley |
| 8th March 2008 kujp | - From: Snakes Anyone? Ok George that does it for me-you've been to the snake farm- you have crossed over, not only that it looks like from the pictures that your children have as well. Fair warning I am afarid of snakes there are only six kinds that bother me, short, long, fat. skinny, alive and dead ones. Glad you enjoyed that place I have been by there many times with no ambition to stop, been invited a couple of times and did not go and guess what-as the Lord lives I am not going there. You all look great glad you and the Hochdorf's are spending some time together-really good people should get to know one another. God bless. Check under the beds.......just ken |
| 7th March 2008 Cindy Burrow | Lindsey's article - From: An Addition to the Body I don't know if this is the place to comment about the lovely article on Women of Hope written by Lindsey. If was a wonderful article from a young lady with a beautifully, Christ-like spirit and I wanted to make sure she knew that I appreciated it. May God Bless you, the Burrows from Needville church of Christ in Texas |
| 25th February 2008 Briana Moore | God bless you all! - From: How Can I Serve? I remember when your Dad posted in the "Christian Courier" that you were going to embark on this journey and how thrilling and scarey I thought that would be. I would love to be able to do something like this some day. I pray your work there is blessed and that you are in God's protective hand! In Christ ~ |

| 2nd January 2008 Paul Hester | George's Mom - From: Death in our Family We are sad for all of you to go through losing such a dear family member.

| 5th November 2007 Hecks | hello - From: Arusha National Park We are so glad you guys could have a nice family day together. We all need that as often as we can get it. Glad to know you enjoyed such a wonderful day in God's creation. Much love from all of us! p.s.Dustin wants you to know that we rescued an abandoned albino ferret. He was left all (very chilly) day long in a cage in front of the vets in the same parking lot as the church building. The people who left him said they were moving and couldn't take him. Actually her. Snowball is what we named her. She stinks, but she is cute. Love you all. Debbie |
| 4th November 2007 julie | miss you all.... - From: A Sunday at Kibosho Great to see you up at Kibosho that is a little tough to find in the hills and slick roads... But we're so glad you made it! Tell everyone that we love them and miss them! On the road... Love in Christ Julie |
| 4th November 2007 just ken | - From: Arusha National Park Nice pictures. I especially like the one of the two great looking young women with the two convicts behind them having a picnic!!just ken |
| 4th November 2007 just ken | - From: A Sunday at Kibosho God bless the Jensen's. Love you and love what you are doing for the lost of Tanzania. I often think how blessed the work of TZ 2000 is because of all the wonderful people who support the work both financially and, as you and your family do, up close and personal living and working in Tanzania. God has done a good thing putting you there. Be careful on those roads. Take care of your good selves. as always, just ken |
| 4th November 2007 Wayne Miller | Looks Pretty! - From: Arusha National Park Glad you guys had some time together. Thanks for your good work and love for the Lord. Give our love to all the family. Your brother, wm |

| 3rd November 2007 Claudia Crain | - From: Arusha National Park Thanks for the updates you give us. I really enjoy the pictures that you take. I might be ok with the rat if it was called another name. I think there might be alot of animals that are really in the rat family but called something else. Thanks for all the work that you & your family are doing. I appreciate you. |
| 3rd November 2007 Ferrell | Arusha Nat'l Pk - From: Arusha National Park Glad you to hear you took a day off for fun. I like your picrures especially the ones of the huge fig tree. That reminds me of the big ones in Calif. that can be driven thru. The name of that "hotdog" bush/tree was very apt I wouldn't mind seeing it myself. I sure like reading of your adventures over there. Love, Ferrell |
| 21st October 2007 Jim Foltz | gecko - From: Ladies Seminar at Monduli Joy, I enjoyed you gecko story. Betty and I both had a good laugh. Who knew that mission work would give somoe one a gecko story. Keep up the good work. Love Jim & Betty |
| 20th October 2007 George and Joy | Re: Insurance - From: A New Set of Wheels and Language School I have seen the Geico commercials, and they are funny, but I must admit that I wasn't thinking of insurance at the time. Maybe I do need gecko insurance around here, though, because it seems like we keep having these "incidents" with geckos. :) |
| 20th October 2007 Ferrell | Insurance - From: Ladies Seminar at Monduli When the gecko landed on you I don't suppose you had any of his (Geico) insurance and he was just trying to get you to get some. If you haven't seen any of the American Ads about Geico insurance this will go over you head, but it hasn't been that long that you've been out of the states so I'm sure you have probably seen them and will relate to this. That was the 1st thing I thought of and just couldn't resist teasing about it. Love Ferrell |
| 1st October 2007 All the Hecks | Happy Birthday and Miss you all - From: A New Set of Wheels and Language School Happy Birthday George! We sure missed you all at RH this year. We all commented on how things just didn't seem normal without you all. It was strange to look up and never find a Jensen's smiling face. We didn't even eat any icecream without you. We plan on eating double with you all next year though. :o) We love you all and continue to pray for you constantly. All the Hecks |
| 24th September 2007 Kerry Sword | Happy Birthday - From: A New Set of Wheels and Language School Just wanted to wish you all the best on your birthday and in your work! God's blessing and God speed to all of the family! Kerry for the K-Team |
| 24th September 2007 Ferrell | Happy Birthday - From: A New Set of Wheels and Language School Happy Birthday to one of my favorite young men. I have so many of favorite young men but don't know all of their birthdays so I'm glad to know yours, George. That was a fine birthday gift, the vehicle. When something you either expected or hoped to get arrives on an important day I consider that it is a gift for that day. With my love Ferrell |
| 24th September 2007 Hannah | Happy Birthday Mr. George! - From: A New Set of Wheels and Language School Hope you have a wonderful birthday Mr. George! love and miss you all! |

Just want you to know that you will be missed this year. I am sure that missing roundhouse is one of the difficult sacrifices of your work, but please remember always that you are an inspiration to the rest of us. Your blog entries are great. May God continue to bless and protect you! |
| 7th September 2007 kup | - From: On the Homefront Well if it is ok with you I think Wal-Mart milk is going to have to work for me. Not quite up to a "worm" in my milk yet, although I guess you could get use to anything! Just kidding. Leave it to the "George" to figure out a good way to have milk for the "babies". You are a certain joy in my life and a blessing clear through my soul. Have a "strong end" to the week and know that you are loved and appreciated by so many including and most especially this writer. God bless you all. just ken |

In His Service, Jim |
| 4th September 2007 kup | - From: Behind the Scenes Sweet people helping other sweet people do the Lord's work, evangelizing the lost of Tanzania. Don't think it gets any better than that, only Heaven will be better. We are thankful for the Jensen's and for all those who have made the Jensen's possible. One of our elders said the other day that if we are willing that makes us able-I believe that and I also believe that it is those sweet folks behind the scene's that make all of us realize just how powerful the providence of God is working in our very own lives, and the multitude of wonderful people who hold our hands up. You good people are doing a wonderful job and we thank God for you. just ken |
| 29th August 2007 Rebecca | - From: Generosity Abounds That is so wonderful! I pray that this will help your efforts there. And can I just say that it seems unreal that y'all were in Iowa for six whole years? I miss you guys! |
| 29th August 2007 Kipton | - From: Generosity Abounds Fantastic! May the Word fall on good soil. |
| 14th August 2007 kup | - From: Milestones There is a sweet, sweet spirit that spends a lot of time with the Jensen family. I know that is true because they are true examples of the joy, happiness and abundant life that Jesus promises us all if we are obedient and faithfully working in his vineyard. You are a real blessing to my life and I am abundantly grateful and filled up with thanksgiving that God has allowed me to know you this side of the Jordan. God bless you. just ken |
| 1st August 2007 Jim Foltz | - From: Time Marches On George, Joy and Family. We remember you in our prayers. We enjoy your blog and praise God that the work is going well. I was in Iowa last Sunday to visit family. It appaears like you are adjusting well to Africa |

You are a great blessing to the lost of Tanzania, to this work and to all those who know and love you. Because of you and your efforts we are all brought closer to the service to the lost that we need so desperately to demonstrate. With all love and respect. just ken |
| 29th July 2007 Ferrell Hinds | Being fed - From: Time Marches On It was interesting seeing that you were fed a meal when visiting. I am wondering what kinds of food were served? I'm sure it wasn't your usual fare. Also do you cook what you usually have here in the states or have you made some changes because of availability. Yes, the meat van does appear amusing because it doesn't look to be very clean. Also how did the boys rate the most comfortable seats at the meeting? At least they looked to be the most comfortable. Ferrell |
| 13th July 2007 kup | Filled up - From: Counting the Cost What a great blessing!! Ya'll just fill me up with thanksgiving and awe at the great work you are doing. May God bless you in all you do for the Kingdom and protect your health. Not only that you have the best yodler in Tanzania!!! Love that girl. just ken |
| 28th June 2007 Kara | - From: Where Do I Begin? Seeing all the pictures makes me miss Africa so much. I am thrilled that your family is able to live in such an amazing place. May God Bless you always. We are all wonderful here and send lots and lots of love to the whole family. We miss you all and are praying for you. *HUGS!* :D |
| 28th June 2007 Betty Jackson | Happy Birthday! - From: Where Do I Begin? Glad you were able to take some time "for your birthday," Joy. We love you. Mom |
| 28th June 2007 kup | How about some articles? - From: Where Do I Begin? Nice pictures. How about an article or two tha we can use in the NL? Have a blessed week. just ken |
| 21st June 2007 Art Wallis | Spider?! - From: Campaign Tiime I looked closely. That bug only has 3 legs on a side. A spider has 4 per side. You have some sort of beetle/bug there. If I missed a leg, then yes it is a spider of some sort! Still not nice to have outside your house whatever it is. Glad things are going so well for you! I pray that Africa is all you had hoped it would be! |
| 20th June 2007 Jack Wheeler | Great Work - From: Campaign Tiime My heart is thrilled to see the work you are doing. I think back when Joy was only a child living in Stockton. Joy's parents Wayne and Betty have been very close friends of ours over the years. Thier training of thier children in the Lord continues to reap harvests. Looking forward to more information on your work. |
| 20th June 2007 Aunt Janie | Campaign News - From: Campaign Tiime Hey, guys. We're enjoying the blog so much--we're saving the entries in a notebook. Wish we could visit you sometime. You're doing a great work, and we keep you in our prayers. Love you, Aunt Janie |
| 20th June 2007 Erin N. Giles | - From: Campaign Tiime Another creepy spider? Egh! I miss you guys! |
| 20th June 2007 Erin N. Giles | - From: Our Container Has Arrived! I'm so glad I didn't hear about those bugs or see pictures of them while in Africa. Sitting here in the US I looked around my area nervously for those icky creepy crawlees. I miss you guys! And I found out you guys know the Fullers! Michelle came up to me and said, "So you probably met the Jensens." And I exploded, "You know the Jensens! Aww! You know the Jensens!" The Fullers helped support my trip to TZ. They are an amazing family. |
| 6th June 2007 kup | Brent Richardson as a helper - From: Our Container Has Arrived! Get Brent to tell you the story of the first time he went to Tanzania and loading his "stuff" on the container at Cy's dad place-If he doesn't remember just ask him if he remembers almost KILLING ken upchurch. That boy has a head as hard as concrete and when he gets his mind on something just get out of the way or you might get hurt. He'll remember he is the reason I am beat up and worn out, or at least part of it. Only picking Brent, well mostly picking I guess. I wouldn't want him "nuked" or anything like that. just ken |
| 6th June 2007 kup | Wonderful news! - From: Our Container Has Arrived! What a great day and week. I know you are thrilled to have your own stuff around you again. I have been in Tanzania when those containers arrive and unloaded a couple and it is truely a happy, happy day. God bless you plus (6) in your work. Be careful on those roads. Take care of your good selves and know that you are loved, admired, respected and prayed for every single day of your lives. Greet the church for us. With all love and thanksgiving. as always, just ken |
| 6th June 2007 ferrell | glad your container has arrived - From: Our Container Has Arrived! Yes ,I'm happy for you to have your own things again. I'm sure it feels like being home again, even though it is a new one, to have YOUR things. I'm glad your beds are raised so the creatures don't join you. That would be a very big YIKES!!! for me to have that kind of bed partner. Keep up the good work. Ferrell |
| 30th May 2007 Heck Family | Haallooo - From: A Missionary's Trip to Dar Es Salaam Hi guys! How is Chubby, Linz? Dustin hopes your bus doesn't get stuck again, and he wants you to know we just had a great family vacation to Wyoming, except for the morning the spider crawled across his face to wake him up. YIKES! Robert is wondering how things are progressing with the Pentecostal preacher? And wants you to know he enjoyed the varmit shooting in WY. (Josh wishes you could have been there, fellas). Candice is glad our hospitals, esp. Ashley's don't resemble that one! 5 weeks until Madison's due date! Love you all! |
| 29th May 2007 Ferrell | Your blog - From: A Missionary's Trip to Dar Es Salaam I got a late start on receiving and reading your blog. In fact I really didn't know you had one until Betty forwarded one to me along in early May. So today after reading all of the comments I realized that there was some information I was missing. So I clicked on something and got back to the beginning. I found it all very interesting and glad I was able to catch up on your travels. Now I will be anxious to read all the forthcoming journals and watch your progress from afar. I will be honest with your although I admire what your are doing I am one that doesn't want to join you over there. I like my creature comforts but I applaud all your efforts. My love to one of my favorite young men. You know who your are, and to you too, Joy. Ferrell |
| 28th May 2007 Jack & Edie Wheeler | You thrill our hearts - From: A Missionary's Trip to Dar Es Salaam What a joy it is to see families we have known for years still faithful to the Lord.

| 28th May 2007 Wayne Jackson | Appreciation - From: A Missionary's Trip to Dar Es Salaam Betty and I appreciate the fortitude and great dedication of the Jensen family as they labor in Africa. You are in our daily prayers. |
| 28th May 2007 kup | Sounds like Africa - From: A Missionary's Trip to Dar Es Salaam Glad you were successful and only had a stalled bus to contend with and delay you. Sometimes those busses wreck from the drivers getting to impatient and not paying attention. Good pictures of the ferry, building and the preacher and his wife. Thank you for writing. just ken |
| 23rd May 2007 Gerald and Cindy Jones | re: shopping - From: Around Town Gerald, said, "What?" No Wal~Mart! We are excited for you to get your things from home. Sounds like you have been working as hard on the home front as you have in the field. We think of you often. And pray for you daily. We enjoy your pictures and stories. God Bless you all. Cindy & Gerald |
| 22nd May 2007 molly | - From: Around Town i want to come visit! |
| 22nd May 2007 Kathryn | Ah, those roundabouts!! - From: Around Town I've been through those in Trinidad. It kind of feels like you just jump in when there is a tiny hole and jump out when you get to your spot all the time driving on the wrong side of the road!! Did you find a food thermometer?? Praying for you, Kathryn |
| 22nd May 2007 tzkup | With Great Thanksgiving - From: Around Town So glad to see Moshi and to "hear " from your sweet writing that things are going well for the plus 6. That is exciting news about your "goods" arriving-I have been in Tanzania when that has happened and it truly is joyous. We continue to keep your names lifted up before the Lord God and continue to pray for you safety, health and good works. There are a bunch of folks in Michigan that saw your faces and heared a fat boy from Ms tell them about the work of TZ 2000 and all of the great servants in Tanzania who are after one for soul for the Kingdom over this past weekend. Hope both congregations will come on board and help us. Please be careful on those roads, take care of your good selves and know that you are loved, admired and respected by all that know you. as always, just ken |

| 21st May 2007 Rebecca | :) - From: Teacher's Workshop I knew Linz would have some critter before too long - it's adorable! :) I always enjoy your posts... it makes y'all seem a teeny bit closer. I'm sure you're loving the new experiences, and I'm thrilled for you, though I'll miss rooming with my Luj in Jamaica! I love you all! You're always in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Rebecca |
| 16th May 2007 Candice | What Beautiful Pictures! - From: Teacher's Workshop Julia, did you take those beautiful waterfall pictures? They are so pretty. We are praying for you. I miss you.

| 16th May 2007 Dustin | Hello - From: Teacher's Workshop I hope there aren't anymore centipedes in your shower, Jacob. I like your hedgehog, Lindsey. I couldn't guess what your pet was when mom said you got a new pet. Talk to you later. Love, Dustin |
| 16th May 2007 Ferrell Hinds | I have subscribed - From: Settling In Have enjoyed reading your messages when Betty sent them on to me, so decided to subscribe directly so she won't have to forward them to me. It looks like you are doing a good job there and enjoying the work. I don't envy you having to do your laundry by hand. Now you know 1st hand how the pioneer women of our country got by. That is something I've often thought about and wondedred how I would handle such. It must be even harder since you have had to regress to that when they knew no other way. My love Ferrell |
| 16th May 2007 Mrs.Debbie | To Linz - From: Teacher's Workshop Lindsey, Good for you! You already have a new critter. He (or she) is so cute! We love you all and are praying for you. The whole family has been anxiously awaiting your post. Give our love to everyone. Love, Mrs. Debbie |

It's been so nice to keep up with you all through your blog, pictures and hard copy mission report. We are thinking of you and praying for you several times a day. I think Luke broke the camels back. Hmm. We always thought it was the straw...:o) We hope everyone gets over the tummy trouble soon. Dustin had a violent stomach bug. Very short lived, but debilitating. It went through Darren and Daniels families, we are hoping it doesn't hit all of us. We love you all. Debbie and family |
