Greetings from Arusha!

Greetings from Arusha!

Today we traveled to Arusha to attend a church service. The team gave another presentation, Andrew and Lacey gave testimonies… the team performed puppets and did the Battleground drama. Afterwards Mr. Steve gave the morning sermon.

While in the big city, we stopped at Pizza Hut! The team was pretty excited. There was a big grocery store next-door so the team did some shopping as well.

On Thursday and Friday, the team continued planting bananas… they’ve planted over 122 now. Work also continued on the concrete sidewalk next to the dining hall.

On Friday morning the team visited a primary school and were well received.

On Saturday we caught up on laundry, memory verses, and in the afternoon we did evangelism at the Donyo Sunday School.

In the evening, we had fun quizzing and we played a game for our “fun night“.

We appreciate all of your prayers, we’ve had some coughs and sniffles from the African dust, but no one is in the ‘sick tent’ … for that we are grateful to the Lord!

From Julia- Hi mom and dad and Catherine! I miss you! God has been teaching me that he is good and I’ve been blessed to see the smiles on the faces of the Tanzanian people when we perform. When we interact with the children, it makes me so happy that God chose me to come and spread his gospel here in Tanzania. I am excited for what he has in store for me and my team.

Julian - Hey mom and dad and Vi and everyone else,
We got to Tanzania and it’s pretty great here. We work almost every day and so far I have dug trenches for water pipe, planted bananas, poured concrete footers and laid some blocks.

We’ve been learning verses and having Devos every night too. The base here is awesome because it is clear and we can see Mount Kilimanjaro.

We have also been doing presentations for churches and Sunday schools and it’s great when the kids join in. I did some of the dramas and Puppets. There is also a Tanzania soda called Stoney which is really good. It’s been a great trip so far and I hope the rest of it is just as good.














We have 23 teens who are excited about serving the Lord...

We have 23 teens who are excited about serving the Lord this summer! On Sunday we had Orientation Day where the teens were taught various things like how to wash their clothes in a bucket, the proper way to address letters, how to take pictures well, and how to run the Obstacle Course.

Praise the Lord! Only three more days of Boot Camp!

Greetings from the base of Kilimanjaro!

We praise the Lord for a safe arrival to Teen Missions’ Tanzania base. All of our bags made it as well. We praise the Lord for those who helped provide for food for the team as they traveled, what a blessing, thank you so much! We were also greatly blessed when we arrived with a wonderful supper prepared by the Tanzania staff.

Greetings in the Lord from Kilimanjaro!

Team Tanzania has had a strong start to our work project nearly completing a long waterline trench from the new borehole to the fields below. We hope to lay the water lines early next week. On Saturday, the team enjoyed their first evangelism with the local children who came for the weekly SS (Sunday School) program. They shared a song, drama, and puppets. They then went outside to played games with the children. Afterwards, the team played volleyball with the TMI Bible school students and staff. On Sunday, we visited a local church in Bomangombe. We were there for almost 4 hours but the team had an awesome time participating in the worship and sharing their presentation. Kate did a great job sharing her testimony. Afterwards, we stopped at a local grocery store and eventually made it back to base. Kilimanjaro finally came out of the clouds today and the team had fun capturing this majestic mountain on their cameras. We also held our 1st official memory verse quiz this evening. It was fun to see how quickly so many have improved!

Jambo Family and Friends!

In the last update, you read about the irrigation system that the team was working on. I am happy to say the team has successfully finished getting the irrigation system to the field which will be a huge blessing to the base here. We have planted over 44 banana trees that will rapidly grow over the next few weeks while we are here, it will be cool for the team to see that take place!

Greetings in the Lord from Team Tanzania!

The team has 'hit their stride' on the work project!
They've now planted over 200 banana plants and about 50 citrus and mango trees. In addition, they've completed about 75% of the sidewalk around the dining/kitchen building. They also finished digging the footer for a new 'tabernacle' building to hold future Tanzania Boot Camp rallies. Yesterday, they backfilled the footer with two dump truck loads of large stones and then poured about 50 feet of concrete into the footer.

Jambo!

It's been another full, fast-moving week for Team Tanzania.
We completed the sidewalk circling the dining room building and poured most of the Tabernacle (Rally) building footer. Some of the team began preparing the steel for the columns. Every two days we help with watering the 200+ banana plants and over two dozen newly planted fruit trees. The team also began work on a Gazebo meeting place perched on a scenic overlook further north of the main campus.

Well, our time is coming to a close here in Tanzania.

It was a busy work week on the Work project… The team completed laying the blocks on the foundation, tied all the steel columns and poured them into the foundation… And then on Friday, the team also poured a concrete cap over the foundation all the way around the building.

Final Days in Tanzania

We enjoyed a big trip to Ngorongoro Crater! We rode in four safari trucks.
The team made a few stops along the way for souvenir shopping before reaching the campground where we spent the night. The next morning we continued our drive into the crater. Including wildebeest, buffalo, impala, gazelle, elephant, zebra, hippo, crown cranes, ostrich, flamingo, serval, and our highlight… A lioness taking a nap near our trucks on top of a fallen tree! On Wednesday, we journey to Moshe for a souvenir shopping. Let’s just say that some of us are better at bartering than others!

Tanzania is on it’s way!
