Dear Friends,
Mary and I trust
that you had a wonderful weekend and Easter season. Admittedly, our
attendance was a bit down due to people traveling, sickness, and some
indifference to church attendance on the holiday. However, the services
for Easter Sunday at Bible Baptist Church of Olorien, were electrifying!
Even though down by about 25% for the day, the people who were
there...were pumped! Four choirs sang...all with resurrection themes and
haleluya’s. Two people accepted Christ as Savior at invitation time, and
many were at the altars rededicating themselves to the work of the Lord
and to a closer walk with Him. What a blessing!
Today, Mary and I
are packing up and getting ready for the week long annual Baptist Bible
Mission of Tanzania meeting! Every year after Easter, we meet together for
prayer, preaching, singing and worship in our own language, as well as
planning and strategizing for youth camps, Bible College, and other
“mission” activities. It’s a wonderful time for us. Several of you have
contributed to this years meeting expenses. Thank you SOOO much! The
discount to the team will be much appreciated and you will hear from us
again soon. I know many of you have been praying for us as we previously
requested. Please continue to do so as we begin the meeting in a few
hours. Pray that God will build us up in our faith, in our work, and in
our fellowship together, revitalizing us for the continued work ahead.
Mary and I really appreciate those of you who take the time to read
and to pray for the “going’s on” over here. We sincerely do count you a
part of “Team Tanzania” in this way. Thanks for all you do! God bless and
give you a great week.
Yours in
Tanzania,
Vernon and Mary
