Tanzania & Kenya Mission Trip!

The 31-day trip to Africa started on August 14. I returned home to the United States on September 14. Here are some of the highlights from the mission trip:

Tanzania - One Baptism!
Ivan Spencer, Minister at Fox Creek Christian Church (Lawrenceburg, KY), was with me for the first two weeks of the trip in Tanzania.
We started with three days of seminars and house-to-house evangelism in Songwe. We visited over 35 homes over the course of three days. In the afternoons we taught basic seminars about the Gospel and being a Christian.
Next, we went to Mbeya and visited the Sewing Training program started through IDES and spent three days in seminars on Discipleship, Spiritual Growth, and being a Christian and Ivan preached on Sunday.

There was one baptism during our time in Mbeya!

We returned to the Dar es Salaam area and spent two days in Kibaha and three days in a new work started by Helman John. In both of these locations, we taught basic seminars on the Gospel, being a Christian, Discipleship, and Ivan preached for Sunday service.

Kenya - 7 Locations Visited!
Ivan returned home and I went to Kenya. In Kenya, I went to seven different locations. In each location, I taught seminars on the Gospel and being a Christian. I preached the Sunday service. On the first day, there were over 300 in attendance. The tribal Chief and local leaders were in attendance. They closed five schools for the day so students could attend.

Tanzania - Round 2 - 33 Baptisms!
I went back to Tanzania and went to Shinyanga where I taught seminars on the Gospel and being a Christian for two days.
Next, I went to a rural area 30 miles east of Mwanza. I was there for three days and the ministers from three rural churches came together in one location for the seminars. I taught the basics of the Gospel and what it means to be a Christian.

This group was hungry for the Gospel and 33 people were baptized!
