APRIL marked the 1 year Anniversary for the Train the Teacher's Workshop for the Ladies in Moshi! This past Saturday we had our monthly Train the Teachers workshop at Moshi, the ladies gather together to share in teaching techniques and ideas to help build up the children's Bible classes and the ladies abilities to teach them. While we were few in number this month, it was still a wonderful Ladies Class. We taught the first couple of months as we began this class a year ago this month, and then moved into letting the Tanzanian women take turns coming up with their own creative ideas and preparing lessons to share with the other women. It has been a huge success! The children's classes at Moshi are amazing! I guess I should say that the teachers are ... read more

Well, After a long busy month, we decided to slow things up a bit and focus on our kids and the family.

In everything that has been happening these last couple weeks, it has just further proved that our God is in Control, and no matter what troubles or trials the devil throws our way, when we have our heads in the word, our hearts in His love and our hands busy with his work, that the devil just can’t get a grip on you. For two weeks now, we’ve had guests here working in various areas and ... read more

I started thinking back over the events of last week and how things have progressed on into this week so quickly.. with all that has been happening and going on around us, in such a short amount of time where do I even start? And how is it even possible for time to go by so quickly? I guess where I left off and that was with the last blog covering the 1st worship service in Marangu Mwika, while the Oklahoma group was still here. There were over 15,000 tracks distributed in this area, around 300 studies held, and 35 in attendance for their first worship service. 17 locals, 1 interpreter, and 17 Americans. 4 new souls added to the kingdom, and so many exciting stories to share of each individual we came across that I ... read more
