Every missionary's dream is to see the ministry come full circle. Believers won to Christ discipled and then called by God to reach others. This Christmas we celebrated a ministry come full circle.
On Christmas Eve, in our city church, we had a Christmas Missionary Offering to honor and bless our two Tanzanian missionary families. Sadiki Mwasakariro is sent out of our first church in Dodoma and doing church planting in a Dar es Salaam suburb. Daniel Lekunga is sent out of our current church in Dar and reaching the Masai in Tanga region. Both families were present in our service Christmas Eve and it was awesome.

The church presented each family with gifts ranging from Bibles to live ducks, and gave a Christmas offering of Tsh. 293,000/= shillings to bless them at Christmas. What a tremendous day it was.
Perhaps the greatest blessing was a young man who came forward at the invitation to publicly give his life to the ministry and ask the church's prayer as he follows God's leading in his life. Seeing Tanzanian men come to Christ, discipled, called and then reaching others as missionaries themselves is a dream come true!
