After some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us return and visit the brethren in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, and see how they are” (Acts 15:36). The apostle Paul saw it was necessary for him to return to those cities and areas which he had once visited with the gospel so that he could encourage them and see if some are still faithful in the ministry. This is a great principle because it helps in measuring the effectiveness of the work done.
Four years ago, the Arusha congregations had a 20/20 (twenty/twenty vision). What that means is we plan to establish five new congregations by the year 2020. The Lord is so faithful to us for we have been able to establish three congregations so far. The Kwa Mrombo, Ilkiurei, and Njiro Chini congregations are the outcome of this program. This year we decided to apply Paul’s principle of follow up. We went back to Ilkiurei for three months, encouraging the saints and bringing more souls to the Lord.
These up coming three months, we will concentrate on the Njiro Chini congregation. This year’s Safari for Souls campaigns will take place in this area. Bible studies are being arranged for the up coming campaign and many souls are expected to be added in His Kingdom.
Please pray for the team here as we are taking care of the Lord’s business. Please pray for the souls that we are going to meet during this time so that they can be fertile soil. Please pray for all the groups which will be traveling to our place and help in sowing and harvesting. The Hoover Church of Christ group and the North Port Church of Christ group will mainly be working with us at Njiro Chini area.
Please continue to pray for our beloved brother, Cy who is still sick.
All these and many other good things are going on here just because faithful Christians like you have decided to support and pray for us. Thank you so much for all that you do and mean in His Kingdom.
Your servant in His Kingdom,
