2024, Tanzania:

1/19/2024 – We Have Arrived In Tanzania!

Tanzanian sunflower field grown for cooking oil & our team in front of Mt. Kilimanjaro.After two and a half days, our mission team has finally landed in Mwanza, Tanzania!  This journey was not without many challenges which included severe lack of sleep, logistical barriers and the sheer weight of supplies we traveled with, as our group brought with us 20 pieces of extremely heavy luggage.  We did this as our goal was to bless MBI and Hope Royal School with additional resources such as Bibles, theology curriculum books, arts and crafts, as well as all the materials we will need during our stay to engage with students, both young and old.  Our travels have included a 7-hour flight to Amsterdam, followed by a 10-hour flight to Kilimanjaro.  We had an overnight layover and then a final shorter flight took us to Mwanza where we have boots on the ground and ready to serve the Lord for the next week.  Today was spent getting settled into our accommodations, organizing our supplies for each day of discipleship and teaching as well as team building while going over our final itinerary.  Tomorrow our mission work will begin as we gather final supplies and then teach a vacation Bible school for the children in the area.  Our team is grateful for continued prayers of health and safety and that the children and adults we encounter would feel the love of Jesus and be spurred on to know Him more fully.  Praise God for His loving mercy, kindness and provision during this time.  Asante sana (thank you very much) for your continued support.
