On a recent trip to Hondiuras, we shared the plane ride with Pastor Augustine from Tanzania. He has sent this request for help. Also, he would welcome anyone wanting to join this team or future teams. He states that Tanzania is a very safe and welcoming and needful place. Keep this in your prayers.

Friends,
Greetings in Jesus Name!
It has now been VERY clear that the Lord wants me to
start Gospel Campaigns in the districts of the Lake
Victoria zone. This zone has more that 20 districts
and each has potentially more than 400,000 people. So
the Lake area has a population of more than 10 million
people most of whom have never heard the Gospel. It is
said that this area is the most darkened area in the
entire country of Tanzania. This is where you find
people killing the aged believing that they are people
who are engaged in witchcraft. When a team from
Crossroads Church in Freeport, IL came last year we
were able to give 140 bikes to bishops and pastors so
that, among other reasons, they may go and educate the
people to abstain such malapractises.
Anyway, my team and I are prepared by God's power to
face whatever opposition from witches and soccerers in
those districts. The Gospel MUST be preached.
From the 8th to 12th of August 2007, I have been
invited by Pastor Safari Paul to Shinyanga region for
a city crusade. My team and I are ready to go.
Please pray for us for the success of the crusade and
also for the necessary needs to be met prior to the
crusade. A team of ten people from our church will
join Pastor Safari and other Pastors from Shinyanga
for the crusade. I plan to invite a singer from Dar es
Salaam to join us and another group from Kampala,
Uganda to be with us during that great campaign of
winning people to Christ.
To be able to accomplish our mission we will need to
meet some needs. We need your prayers about this and
are sure the Lord will see us through. By my
experience, the crusade is estimated to cost about $
5,000.00 in the city where the crusade shall be held.
We are trusting the Lord that our people here may give
sacrificially raise at least $ 2,000.00 of the amount
before August.
The following is a foreseeable budget:
- Platform $ 500.00
- Singer from Dar es Salaam(Transport/Allowance
$ 500.00
- Group from Kampala $ 1,000.00
- Lodging and Guest house 15 people $ 550.00
- Foodstuff for seven day $ 400.00
- Radio Publicity $ 200.00
- Posters and flyers $ 750.00
- PA System for five days @ $ 200.00 $ 1,000.00
- Others (min bus, gas, etc) $ 500.00
TOTAL $ 5,400.00
It is expected that more than 10,000 people may
attend. We have seen in our meetings more than 40%
respond to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
During the crusade we will be covering by video camera
all the events for record.
After Shinyanga, we will be on our way to Sengerema
district, then Geita, Ukerewe.... Sengerema distict is
a district of my roots. Ukerewe district is known for
witchcraft in the enitre zone. This Gospel project
will continue...
Your prayers and support are highly appreciated as we
net these precious Souls into the Kingdom of our dear
Father. Special thanks for all your continued support
without which very little would have been
accomplished. May I say it in Swahili language,
"Asanteni sana na Mungu azidi kuwafanikisha"
(Thanks so much and may God keep prospering you all"
In the cooperate anointing!
