Recent Happenings

We recently returned from the Philippine Islands, where I preached in the World Missions Conference of Bethany Baptist Church in Manila. We also had the opportunity to view the Highlands youth camp in action as we develop our strategy for the youth camp under construction here in Tanzania.

We had the joy of meeting up with our missionary Andrew Matunu, serving on the M.V. Doulos ministry ship. We couldn't be more proud of this man sent from our church in Dar es Salaam and ministering all over the Asian continent.
