Dear Friends,
Marriage Seminar: On Valentine’s Day, we hosted a Marriage Seminar, with 18 couples in attendance. We played games, enjoyed refreshments, and cherished the fellowship of each other. Most importantly, every couple was strengthened by messages from God’s Word. We praise the Lord for the strong families He has blessed our church with.
Building Faith: The excitement in our church was palpable on January 28, as we broke ground for the second stage of our building project. God’s hand of blessing has consistently been upon our church and ministry, and we stand in awe as we witness His advancement of the church. This new building will include much-needed Sunday school classrooms, offices, restrooms, a nursery, and a kitchen. Please pray for a smooth and safe building process.
Salvation Story: Our church continues to witness people placing their trust in Christ each week through various outreaches and soul-winning efforts. One remarkable salvation story unfolded while I was purchasing roses for my wife for Valentine's Day. In our city, one of the few places to buy flowers is where caskets are also sold. The Lord impressed upon my heart the need to share the Gospel with the two men who were selling flowers and caskets. Both men bowed their heads, surrounded by caskets, and asked Jesus to save them.
Back-to-School Sunday: The new school year here begins in January, so we organized a Back-to-School Sunday. We welcomed many first-time visitors the week preceding the big day as parents enrolled their children for this special Sunday. We had many come back the following Sunday as well for the special day. One of our young boys, who attends regularly, was thrilled when his mother joined him at church for the first time. We had visited him at his home the previous week, extending an invitation to his mother. The following week, his father came as well. He was beaming when he walked into the church gate, telling me that both his mom and dad had come. They have continued to come faithfully. Please pray for their spiritual growth.
Discipleship Sunday: On this special Sunday, we aim to encourage new converts and church members who have not yet begun our discipleship course to begin now. We've had many complete the program and pray that this year we will see more participants than ever.
Tanzanian Stadium Crusade 2024: Due to renovations on both large stadiums in Dar es Salaam, the originally planned crusade had to be postponed. We are now rescheduling this significant event for 2025. Please continue to pray for the success of this outreach. This year, we will be hosting our crusade here in Morogoro, striving to reach as many as possible with the Gospel.
Prayer Requests: Please pray for our upcoming camp and our Easter services. Also, pray for the smooth renewal of our visas. We are continuing to seek divine intervention for the paperwork involved in our radio ministry and our mission in the country.
Your representatives to Tanzania,
Jerry & Rachel Wyatt
