Maasai Land 2012 – A Great Adventure




Sitting in front of a house with older men who were neighbors
 of the family we lived with during the week
Hallelujah! I’m back in Lichinga. Ministry in Maasai Land was beyond anything that I've ever experienced! The leadership seminar was also amazing. In a few days, I’ll send out two separate blogs: one on Maasai Land and the other on the Iris Tanzania Leadership seminar in Mwanza. We’ll also try to put photos and video out on the web for you to view.

Thank you so much for praying for us. In many parts of the journey, Pastor Deus and I faced new challenges and intense spiritual opposition which gave us the opportunity to release the greater things God has put inside of us.  Nothing worked out as we originally planned (we even had flights cancelled the day of the flight), so we could only depend upon the Lord to work out the daily details of the Maasai land trip and leadership training.  But, this gave us the perfect opportunity to see His glory. The Lord showed up marvelously.


Leadership Seminar for the Iris Ministries Tanzania leaders
This trip was truly a great adventure!  It was a defining moment for both myself (out in the field) and my wife (ministering at home) that the Lord used to start us walking in our God-given destiny, and determine the course of our ministry, forever.  As a result, we are currently in the process of adjusting many things in our ministry.  Our lives and ministry will never be the same.

We thank you so much for your support that brought great fruit to individual believers and ministries.  During this trip, the Lord also opened the door for Iris Tanzania to begin a whole new area of ministry.  Thank you for standing with us, as we hosted His presence and partnered with others to help empower and encourage them to fulfill the call of God on their lives. Working together with you, greater works were accomplished. We could not have done so much without you!


Hallelujah to our great God,
