The title of this report may seem a bit strange until you read two specific reports from Tanzania. Cy Stafford’s report, along with Jimmy Gee’s report, focus on a very special man who made a powerful impact in the Lord’s kingdom in and around Arusha.
I urge you to read both reports, even though both are focused on the same man. The perspective of both reports have minor differences, but a wonderful picture of how a man named Moses was able to come to Christ and bring others to our Lord. Moses passed away last week and his funeral service was Sunday afternoon.
Both reports share a story relating to the title of this week’s report. Two men who were taught by brother Moses and when they came down from Mt. Meru to Arusha, they said, “Moses has sent us down from the mountain to be baptized.” I love it and you will to when you read these reports.
