MISSION TRIP UPDATE:
Our Executive Director, Wayne King, left on July 29th for an extended mission trip.
This trip includes ministry in FOUR countries: India, Tanzania, Malawi, and Burundi.
Wayne is set to return to the United States on September 9th.
On August 20, 2026, Wayne reported the following:
I am at the halfway point of our six weeks working in India, Malawi, Tanzania, and Burundi.
I spent three days in INDIA, where we had two conferences with preachers and two open-air meetings. The preachers' conference brought preachers from churches in each region. We had four hours for these meetings. At the meeting, I spoke about church history and the history of the Restoration Movement. The preachers were very receptive to the seminar on church history.
The Open-Air meeting allowed me to share the "What is the Gospel?" Seminar. These meetings took place in locations where they would not draw the attention of local authorities.
We spent time with the Children at the CREST Children’s Home. The children sang and danced in a program for us. With the help of Tim Wells, Fox Creek Children’s Minister, I offered a children’s lesson on the Potter and the Clay.
I spent two days in MALAWI. The people greeted me warmly, and they were very interested in the seminar materials. I taught: "What is the Gospel?" "What does it mean to be a Christian?" and "Spiritual Growth." We ran out of time, and plans are to offer Discipleship classes by Zoom.
TANZANIA: When I returned to Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) from Malawi, I was able to spend half a day with Helman John. I offered the Spiritual Growth Seminar. We spoke at length about his work in the secondary schools where he is able to offer Bible classes.
I flew to Mbeya on August 9. From Mbeya, we have offered seminars in this southwest area of Tanzania: Mbeya, Tunduma, Sumbawanga, Songwe, and Njombe.
In Mbeya, we were there for three days and offered seminars in: Stewardship, Personal Evangelism, Biblical Authority, Faithful to God, Being Christian Parents, and Spiritual Immaturity. We also had an opportunity to teach on the radio and spoke on Unity.
We were in Tunduma for three days. We offered seminars on: Spiritual Growth, Stewardship,
Discipleship, Faithful to God, Biblical Authority, and Christian Parents.
We were in Songwe for one day and offered seminars on: Biblical Authority and Christian Parents. We were in Sumbawanga and Njombe for two days in each location. We offered seminars on Spiritual Growth and Discipleship.
All locations were appreciative of the training, engaged with the seminar materials, and want us to return.
Your prayers and support for this trip and the work of Mission Journeys are so very appreciated!
