Jerry was saved at a young age. He surrendered to preach at a tent meeting under the preaching of Tony Hutson. Jerry’s parents answered the call to missions in 1993 and arrived on the field of Tanzania in 1995. While in Africa, Jerry was always involved in the ministry by teaching out in the villages, public schools, Bible Clubs, and Sunday school. He also worked on the evangelistic puppet team that has seen hundreds of people saved. When Jerry was seventeen years old, he surrendered to go back to Tanzania. God’s calling was clear during a sermon at Pastors’ School. Soon after surrendering, he enrolled at Hyles-Anderson College and graduated in 2007. While attending college, he captained a bus route and taught a boys Sunday school class. He also worked at the college for two of the years he was enrolled.

Rachel was born and raised in a Baptist preacher’s home (Dr. Larry Brown). At the age of nine with the help of her mother, she received Christ. As a young person, Rachel surrendered to do whatever God wanted. In February of 2003, her father hired her as the full-time secretary of their church, Marion Avenue Baptist Church. She worked in this position until September of 2005, when she enrolled in college. Jerry and Rachel met at college and began dating. While dating, Rachel was able to visit Tanzania, and after a time of praying and seeking God’s will, she knew that the mission field is what God had in store for her.

Jerry and Rachel were married on July 6, 2007. On November 5, 2010, the Lord blessed them with a son, David Jerry Wyatt; and on June 13, 2012, they were blessed with a second child, Kate Dianne.

Jerry is currently the pastor of Faith Baptist Church Morogoro. He and his wife have served the Lord in this ministry since arriving on the field in 2009, and in 2012 Jerry became pastor. The Lord has truly blessed this ministry with the inception of an orphan home in 2013 and many other new ministries. Pray as God continues to work in this truly needy field of Tanzania.

We are Independent Baptist missionaries to Tanzania, East Africa. Jerry is the pastor of the Faith Baptist Church in Morogoro. Our ministries include church planting, Bible clubs, public school ministries, an orphanage, deaf ministry and evangelistic outreaches. We have been in Tanzania since January of 2009. Please join us in prayer as we do the work that the Lord has called us to do.

    Jerry and Rachel Wyatt III Prayer Letter: Soul-Winning StorySoul-Winning Story

    Amos began coming to our church after our son Daniel invited him while he was walking by one day. Life has been hard for Amos—his father was abusive and eventually kicked him out, and he doesn’t know who his mother is. He now lives with a kind family who has taken him in and is caring for him. After a few visits to Bible Club and church, David shared the Gospel with him, and Amos joyfully accepted Christ. The following week, I had the privilege of baptizing him.

    Immediately after his salvation, Amos asked for some John and Romans booklets to take to school. In his public-school religion class, he stood up and boldly shared the Gospel—over 40 classmates trusted Christ! Later, he told me he had begun meeting with neighborhood kids in the evenings to teach them the Bible. We helped him start a Bible Club at his house, and 26 children came the first week.

    While planning our Youth Rally, I appointed several teens as team captains and encouraged each one to try to bring 10 visitors. Amos overheard the meeting, came up to me afterward, and said, “I’m not a captain, but I think I could bring a lot.” I told him, “Then I’ll make you a captain—just do your best.” He brought over 40 teens to the conference! What a blessing it is to see this young man on fire for the Lord.

    Visiting Group

    We were blessed and encouraged to host a group from Lewis Avenue Baptist Church with Pastor Steve Hobbins. A wonderful group of young people came to serve alongside us, and we were uplifted by their sweet and humble spirits. It was especially meaningful to reconnect with a couple of the group leaders, friends I had attended college with. Over two decades have passed since our college days, and it was encouraging to see them still faithfully serving the Lord.

    Youth Rally

    While the group from Lewis Avenue was with us, we held a Youth Rally. I was so encouraged by our young people as they invited friends, neighbors, and classmates. What a joy it was to see over 300 teens attend the rally, with 13 trusting Christ for salvation! Bro. Hobbins preached a powerful message on how the Devil lies to young people.

    Crusade

    Please continue praying for our very first Crusade in Dar es Salaam, a city about four hours from Morogoro and the working capital of Tanzania. Dar es Salaam, with a population of over 8.5 million people, is in great need of the Gospel. Pray that all of the details will come together smoothly and that the Gospel will have a great impact.

    Work Permits and Visa

    Our greatest prayer request at this time is for our work permits. We are currently seeking an exemption that would allow us to continue serving in Tanzania. Please pray that we would find favor with the authorities involved and that approval would be granted quickly.

    Your representatives to Tanzania,

    Jerry & Rachel Wyatt
