Tanzania - July 2017
I, Forrest, recently received the following text messages from our partner in ministry, Evangelist Gabriel Gidale, from the AICT (Africa Inland Church Tanzania), who lives in the village of Mohedagew, Lake Eyasi, Tanzania. Let’s all pray for these believers who want to be baptized soon. They need rain to come.

“My family and I are continuing to do very well. We are progressing with our narrative Bible Storying with another missionary, Simon. I, personally, continue visiting neighboring families in their homes teaching the word of God, although recently it’s been difficult because it is the dry season. (Many people move away for greener pastures for their animals). In the next month I will teach a catechism class to those believers who desire to be baptized. We planned to baptize them within the next month but it depends on the rains. Their names are: Pendo Gabriel; Wily Gabriel; Unene; Gidamadoida Gidahuta; Samueli Yohana; Stefano Yohana; Baraka Yohana; and Surumbu Gisamageda.
In our district of churches (in the Lake Eyasi area), we have continued a building project at Barazani local church, and have reached the ring beam stage. The believers at another local church called Kisiriri meet in a person’s home. We are sending two students to Majahida Bible School to study, one from Olpiro local church and the other from Endamaghay local church. The preschool at Endamaghay is still going on but lacking teachers.
In conclusion, greet everyone, especially your family.”
Thank You,

“Praise the Lord, you servant. By the grace of God here in Mohedagew we continue the catechism of the believers/students. We are planning to baptize them on the 7th or 8th of this month. Therefore, we need your prayer for this ministry.”
