Tanzania Life and Ministry

The creativity of Tanzanians is so amazing.  I have seen wooden bicycles too!
The vast majority of Tanzanians do not have electricity.  This iron uses charcoal.
There are many farmers in the area near us.  They work hard to provide for their families.


The Masai tribe live in Tanzania


Don and I had the honor to minister at God's Love Church.  This is just a compilation of video clips from the service.  I ministered on the Holy Spirit, and Don on healing.  


Please pray for the team as they prepare for the ministry in Sherati, Tanzania.  It is located on the boarder of Lake Victoria and very close to Kenya.  It is a town of about 50,000 people.  This is a map:
Cute children from Sherati.  Don took this photo on Saturday.



Let us know if we can pray for you!  I continue to meet with Mary's Little Lambs on Thursdays.  They are prayer warriors!

May God bless you!
Mary and Don

Sing Unto The Lord!

New Life Outreach ministers together with the Academy of Leadership students, May 11, 2014



Sunday I took time to take video of the worship and praise at New Life City Church.  I thought you may enjoy the videos.
This is the main choir for the church
Hayley's House girls


This is the other church choir

An incredible time of worship at the end of the service



This is a traditional tribal instrument, 
played by Paulo Mitanga.



This is from the Academy of Leadership 
Praise and Worship group contest 2013


This is from December.  Praise time in Tanzania is really vibrant.


Don and the team are in a flurry of preparation for the next ministry trip.  He has 10 days to get all the vehicles ready for the trip to Shirati.  Please pray for them.  It is a lot of very hard work!

There may be someone who needs encouragement today.  This is for you:
You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound. In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord , make me dwell in safety. (Psalms 4:7, 8 ESV)

No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. (Romans 4:20, 21 ESV)

Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.
(James 1:12 ESV)

May God bless you in ways you never imagined!
In Him,
Mary and Don

Burning bright in Tanzania


Jorge was from one of the first graduating classes of New Life Outreach Bible College.  I was one of the few teachers at the Bible College at the time, so I spent nearly every day with the class.  Jorge arrived from Mozambique, not knowing much English or Swahili.  I had my doubts about his ability to even manage the classes, but his hunger really showed me that those who want to learn, will find a way.

Jorge Moreira ministered at New Life City Church Sunday.  He greatly honored me in the service and even gave me and Don a gift.  It was an unexpected blessing.  Thank you Jorge!!!!!
His little girl was an energetic bundle of joy!!!!

Mary's Little Lambs came to our home last week.  I had Caleb lead worship.  We had an awesome time of worship, prayer, and study of the Word.



It has already been 10 days since we landed home in Tanzania.  Here are a few photos from our trip in the USA, that I didn't have time to share before we left:
My Mom
Down to one cup of coffee a day!
Wonderful times of ministry in New Orleans 
FRIENDS!!!!!

"God ’s Message: “Don’t let the wise brag of their wisdom. Don’t let heroes brag of their exploits. Don’t let the rich brag of their riches. If you brag, brag of this and this only: That you understand and know me. I’m God, and I act in loyal love. I do what’s right and set things right and fair, and delight in those who do the same things. These are my trademarks.” God ’s Decree. "
Jeremiah 9:23, 24 MSG

Don and I would like to thank all of our friends.  It is impossible for us to name all who gave us a place to sleep, food to eat, and opportunities to minister.  Thanks again!
God bless,
Mary
