On Safari I n T anz ania!

In Swahili, safari just means travel or a trip. In the US, we’ve adopted the word to refer to outdoor adventure travel. It makes sense—in Tanzania, any safari is an adventure.
Our long-anticipated change of address is now official. Thanks be to God, and to you who helped make it happen, we made it!
Less than a week after arriving in country, we set out with Scott Hanson, our missionary mentor and the Tanzania field moderator, for a trip across Tanzania. The purpose was not only to acquaint us with our new home, but to take the Missions Director and the Assistant District Superintendent of one of the Tanzanian Assemblies of God districts to see some of their least accessible and least reached villages. Some of these were immediate target areas for church planting—and others weren’t but are now as a result of the trip. In two places we were able to help the TAG make arrangements for securing a plot of land where a church will soon stand. The closest I can come to describing our trip
If you have an address for us in Ozark, Missouri, please update it. That one is now defunct. Our new field address is as listed in the sidebar at left. Our permanent stateside address is 3359 S. Hillsboro Ave, Springfield, MO 658044862.
Praise God for the successful completion of Jackie’s Master’s degree and for His protection during itineration travel, travel to Tanzania, and safari across Tanzania.
Please bear in mind that e-mail is several weeks faster than regular mail to our field address, and we may have to pay duty on some items sent from outside Tanzania. When in doubt, please email or fax us first. The stateside fax number is not a typo; it forwards automatically to our e-mail address and is the second-best way to reach us.

On the main road west of Mbeya, Tanzania. Please pray with us for minds that learn and retain Swahili as we begin lanwould be to have you imagine driving across guage school July 19. Texas using only dirt roads. The thickest line on a national road map of Tanzania indicates Please pray for continued it’s the main road. It doesn’t tell you anything health and protection. about the road’s surface, which can be anything from 4-lane tarmac to a one-rut cow path. We can now tell you first-hand: there’s an awful lot of Tanzania left at the end of the tarmac. There’s not much room here to say more about our trip, but there’s a detailed account on our website: http://www.bobandjackie.org
Nyama is the Swahili word for animal; the plural is wanyama. Nyama is also the word for meat. Usually the meaning is clear from the context, but I try to be careful what I ask for in my soup.

We were surprised to learn that residents of Tanzania are less likely to have seen zebra, giraffe or lion than the typical resident of the United States. While the US has zoos in populated areas, here there are game reserves in very sparsely populated areas. Most people lack the transportation to go out to the game reserves and have never seen the wanyama that Africa is so famous for.
Pictured, left to right, are the Presbyter of the Inyonga Tarafa, Pastor Mwajunga of Mbeya representing the TAG Missions Committee, Assistant District Supt. Sambwe who pastors in Sumbawanga, the pastor of the pictured church in Inyonga, Bob, and Jackie. This church was built out of mud bricks the pastor made by hand, and roofed with thatch over beams. To earn money for the roof beams, he went fishing at a river some distance away and sold the fish he caught. The inscription on the handmade concrete pulpit translates, “The Grace of God Has Been Revealed Titus 2:11”. Amen!
The picture below is of a church plot just outside Laela, a big village of about 10,000 people with no church yet. At left are pastors Mwajunga and Sambwe, who were with us most of the trip, and the local pastor’s two sons. In the center is the pastor who is trying to plant a church in Laela. Behind him and next to Bob is the Sectional Presbyter. The woman with the child on her back just happened to be crossing the road in time to get into this picture. The plot pictured had been held up by some red tape with the village government. By paying a registration fee of 12,000 Tanzanian shillings (about $12), the TAG officials were able to secure the site. Jackie and I were privileged to play a part by providing the needed funds out of what our faithful partners have provided.
