Update and Hospitality Ministry

The Tanzania 2011 trip is over, but the power of God is still rippling through the community where we held the event. I received a text message from Pastor D. Elias, Director of Iris Ministries Tanzania, saying that the past Sundays many people were receiving Salvation. Hallelujah! Since I returned from Tanzania, we have been ministering in the city and villages, and doing administrative things at our center. At the end of May we also had a graduation celebration for Amerel and Isaiah who successfully completed the 5th and 2nd grades. We celebrated with special food and gave our children certificates.

Hospitality Ministry

Tiffany is the head of the Hospitality Ministry for Iris Ministries Lichinga, and has been preparing for new visitors. This is the first time she’s had to prepare for as many as 9 people who are visiting our center for the first time. There are 6 people who are part of “The World Race”. They are visiting for about a month. Then, there are 3 more people from the U.S. helping to do construction and other things for about 1 ½ weeks.

When the World Race team arrived last week after several days of traveling, we prepared lunch for them. Then Tiffany had her orientation with them. The Hospitality Ministry here is more than just receiving guests, but it also involves ministry to the individuals and groups that are visiting us, and also helps provide visitors with opportunities to serve along side of us missionaries as we serve the Lord Jesus Christ.  Below are some of the things they have done with us.  They are also involved in other ministry activities here such as evangelizing, hospital and care ministries, men and women's prison ministries, and building.
