Man formulates plans, but God dictates his steps

What a glorious sight to witness at the beginning of our trip!

May the God of all hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.               Romans 15:13

A group of pastors will soon visit Tanzania. Hoping they will work together with their churches to engage unengaged people groups, we are returning to places previously researched to organize their upcoming vision trip – we also hope to get in some more research and mentor some younger missionaries on the side.

Necessity dictates half of the group go west and south of Dar visiting the Kutu and Vidunda people and others go north to visit the Segeju and Zigua people – our plan on this trip is to go to each group and logistically figure it all out – where to stay, where to eat, good places to stop and so on.


We “fly by the seat of our pants” when we are on research trips, but when folks from the U.S. come out – well, it is nice to have an organized plan.  Anything can happen in Africa, and usually does; but at least if we try to organize a bit, some things might go smoothly!

Traveling down the road viewing God's creatures
will be an added plus for those going west.

The group going west will have a difficult journey, but we hope the rewards will overshadow the lack of comfort as God demonstrates to us on our journey to Vidunda village.

Join us next week as we travel up the mountain and visit Vidunda, the first of three villages where the Vidunda people live.

Pray for the upcoming vision trip. This is the way engagement of unengaged/unreached people begins and we pray that God will speak to hearts as they visit people needing to know the truth of John 3:16.

Pray for us as we move through Tanzania, that we can be the aroma of Christ.

Finally, pray for the people whom we visit, that they may see God in us and be encouraged to learn more about Him.
