August 31, 2025. Happy Sunday! Within the arid lands west of Arusha, we found ourselves in the fertile rift valley in the small village of Engaruka. We began our morning attending worship. We then met with kids at a local boarding school to learn beading and we painted wooden butterflies to bring with us on the journey home. We’ll be staying outside in tents for the night. A beautiful night to gather in fellowship under the stars.

This is their final step in the program, allowing them to leave with marketable skills in the Tanzania economy.August 26, 2025. Today we are so proud to have worked alongside BCC and the church community in the Hai District. Together, we planted over 1,000 crops that will become a source of food and funding for the church and its people. The Hai District is the largest of the northern districts, containing over 50 parishes within its borders.
