Soul-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
