1/22/2024 – God Is Moving In This Place

Today was a very special day as our team began the core ministry work which we have been called to by the Lord. This has been the culmination of months of planning.  The morning started off at MBI with team member and teacher Ed Kaleefey beginning his week-long curriculum on systematic theology and inductive Bible study.  The goal is to teach the Mwanza Bible Institute students how to draw conclusions from scripture through observation, interpretation and application so they are more thoroughly equipped to pastor, teach, counsel and lead their local church congregations.  The session was rich with extremely valuable material as the students were challenged to grow in their ability to skillfully divide The Word while discipling others and changing lives all for God’s glory.  Simultaneously, the Bible class student spouses were engaging in a women’s conference that included an inductive Bible study as well as a session on the importance of daily devotions, capped off by assembling a beautiful leather pouch that the ladies were able to take home with them.  Finally, the mission team joined forces with Ann Bagley leading the way as we engaged with the Hope Royal students.  Ann first started with a chapel teaching on Micah 6:8 and then the children created a beautiful take-home craft to meditate on the decree from the Lord to act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with our God.  The long day was capped off by plenty of yard games with the students where laughter echoed throughout the neighborhood.  We praise God for His provision and faithfulness as we preach the Gospel to all creation.
