Hello friends,
It hardly feels like it has been 3 years since we packed up
and moved our family to Tanzania, Africa.
Time has flown by, and with your help, a great amount of good was
accomplished.
We asked you to help us with a four-fold mission:
- Preacher Training – Directing and Teaching at the Andrew Connally School of Preaching
- Personal Evangelism
- Benevolence
- Church Growth
I hope that you’ve been able to keep track of us through our
blog and email reports, but if not, then let me give you a very brief synopsis
of what was accomplished. We were able
to play a role in the training of more than 40 East African gospel
preachers. Through the efforts of our
students, campaigners, teammates, and ourselves there have been hundreds of
baptisms and restorations over the same time period. Food, shelter, clothing, and education was
provided for some very needy individuals.
The churches in the area, working together grew stronger in the Lord,
and local leadership was enhanced. All
in all, we feel like it was a very successful mission and we’re proud to have
been a part of it.
You might wonder, “What now?” We plan to return to Tanzania each year to
lead campaigns or teach short courses.
Any further donations that are received through Lehman Avenue will be
dedicated to these campaigns or to ongoing benevolence projects. Meanwhile the Maynard, Norman, and Storks families
will continue to work full-time in Tanzania.
Let me know if you would like information about contacting these
families to help with their support.
Thank you so much for your support, prayers, and
encouragement during this mission. May
God richly bless you.
Your fellow worker,
