Engagement!

“When He went ashore He saw a great crowd, and He had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd.  And He began to teach them many things.
Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through me.’”                                                          Mark 6:34 and John 14:6

Do you remember back in June, we went to visit the Vidunda of Tanzania?  That visit was in preparation for a vision trip planned for August.

The August vision trip went as planned and was a great success.

Pastors from churches in the Baltimore, Maryland area formed a team in order to seek out an unengaged people group in Tanzania.  They and their congregations have been praying about God working through them to help fulfill the great commission – sharing the love and sacrifice of Christ to a people walking in darkness.

While difficulties arose on the trip – God saw them through and blessed their obedience.

While these men witnessed first-hand the physical challenge and the sacrifice of comfort that must be endured to reach the Vidunda people, they also saw the great need for the Vidunda to know Christ as the way, the truth and the life. The Vidunda need to know and understand that God’s gift of salvation comes not from the works of man but out of God’s great love.

Now these churches are joining together in force to reach the Vidunda of Tanzania with the gospel.

*Pray for God to prepare Vidunda hearts for the first of many engagement trips.

*Pray for good preparation and orientation for the ones preparing to embark on this mission.


*Pray for each person in these churches to stand beside those going in prayer and giving to make this engagement possible.

*Pray for the power of God to infuse strength and wisdom to each one that they would see the mission of reaching the Vidunda for Christ accomplished.

Praise His Holy Name!
