Caring, Compassionate Ministry

Showing the love of Christ to those in need is an excellent tool for evangelism. Besides, it's what we as Christians ought to do! This past month we were blessed to have an excellent team of relatives, friends, and supporters come to Tanzania to do just that. Sponsored by Children's Medical Ministry and Hope Haven International, and joining hands with our national believers, this team of physical therapists, technicians, and volunteers were a huge blessing to us and the ministry here. Below are some random photos to give a glimpse of the wheelchair and children's ministry which took place this July.
