Short Report 12/10

Grace and Peace to you friends.

Today, I would like to share with you some words about our recent graduation from our Logistics Director, Charles Mwanga:
     " For many years, the Lord has been blessing His Kingdom through your generosity and prayers. We have been able to train men from Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Malawi, Congo, Zambia and even this time South Sudan. Countless souls will one day be in Heaven just because people like you cared for the lost souls. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
     '“And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.”(2 Timothy 2:2).
     "This is the motto of our school. It has been a blessed year here at Andrew Connally School of Preaching as we have been celebrating the graduation of 26 graduates. This year we have had graduates from the Masters Class, the Bachelor Degree class and a Certificate of Biblical Studies from the Arusha Bible School. I would like to take this opportunity to ask you to pray for all our graduates as they are starting their new journey in the ministry.
     "This year’s class was a Swahili Class, men from over twenty congregations were able to finish their studies. We thank God for both them and their families for supporting them in this journey. These are committed men and women who were ready to sacrifice their lives for two years of study. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
     "Again, we thank you so much for your support and prayers. Please keep us in your prayers as we are beginning our youth camps this coming two weeks."
I also wanted to share with you the heartwarming involvement of these two little boys.  What a wonderful example they are!  May they continue to have their hearts in the right place as they grow up.  
Today's student spotlight is on this year's valedictorian, Yohana Mwanjile:

     Yohana (41) has been married to his wife, Elizabeth, since 2014.  The are members of the Temeke congregation in Dar es Salaam.  They have two little girls, Upendo (5) and Marietta (3).  Having a Muslim father and a Lutheran mother, Yohanna was baptized into Christ in 1999. 
     After graduation, Yohana plans to begin planting churches in villages in rural Tanzania. 
    His message to you is:  "I would like to give back thanks to you for your heavily contributions which assist us to have this opportunities of studying for a Bachelor degree of Biblical studies. I and My family really appreciate your work of sponsorship. We have nothing to repay you but Almighty God will always fulfill your pocket .My prayer is for you to be prosperous both physically and spiritually forever. May God bless you all and your activities that enable you to sponsor Tanzania Mission." 


Join with me in praying for the ministries of Yohana and his fellow graduates!  I also want to express appreciation for the outstanding faculty at ACSOP.  Their work is priceless!

Until all have heard,
