"Tanzania christian camp is a camp designed by ACSOP and church to help young men to equip spiritually. Many young men have being receiving the gospel through this camp. We give opportunity to the non-christians to attend the camp in order that we can reach them with the gospel. This year we had one hundred and twenty youth attended the camp from over twenty congregation. Most churches sent the adult to serve this camp where had great achievement .Also we had a brother from America who is being great encouragement in many years, brother John Rice. The theme of this camp this year is “Jesus Christ is …..”
-Jesus Christ is lord.Acts 2:36
-Jesus Christ was our sacrifice 1 Corinthians 5:7
-Jesus Christ is our great shepherd.Hebrews 13:20-21
-Jesus Christ is our example 1 Peter 2:21
"All chancellors and teachers were happy teaching these young men.
"This camp is been the best to the most kids because there are many good Bible lessons, sports activities, and also many singing sessions. They also visited the snake park to declare the Lord’s creation. Kids have a good time determining how God has wonderful made all things, and everything is perfect.
"As the result, good Bible classes we’re conducted by the best evangelists and some of the youth especially those who were not Christian were baptized. It took three days intensive study which caused big results. Now sixteen of these youths obeyed the gospel. Everyone in the camp was exited for what God had done.
"We thank God for all who served in the camp. But also I thank you who donated money for this camp all these souls are to Christ due to what you have done.We should continue to pray for these sixteen souls that God added church.
"I am here to inform you that God values what you are doing for his kingdom.Next year we have a big plan to expand, this camp and to advertise it in the community that we can reach more souls .Please pray for us as we put all these together."
In His Work.
Ahimidiwe Kimaro

“How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?” (Romans 10:14). The world now is in need of good people who knows what God want than ever, Christ is near and there are still many lost souls which have not even heard about Him. That’s why here at Andrew Connally School of Preaching, it is of a great deal to train faithful men who will go out to the community and proclaim the good tidings to those who are still in darkness.
"We thank our Almighty God for another good year, we have started our new year with new class. We have been able to recruit 34 new students in our fist year class and the second year class have 14 students which makes up a total of 48 students. These are faithful men who have been sent by their congregations throughout East Africa. They will be a great help to the Church when they leave here after two years. Please continue to pray for them as they begin their journey here at ACSOP.
"We would also like to thank every one who is supporting this effort, your generous contribution is highly appreciated. We can not be able to fully express how we appreciate you and your contribution, but the Almighty God knows how our hearts are grateful for that, we pray that He may continue to bless you beyond measure for what you are doing to His Church here in East Africa, especially Tanzania. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
"Thank you for all that you mean and do in His Kingdom,
Your servant in His Kingdom,
Charles Mwanga
