We are Christian missionaries serving the Almighty Lord as teachers at Idigima Secondary School near the village of Idiwili, in the region of Mbeya in Tanzania, Africa. The school was built by the people of several nearby villages and is run by Village Schools Tanzania. The mission is simply to share the Gospel through education.
Scripture Favorites
From VSI literature: We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the Gospel of God but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us. 1 Thessalonians 2:8
Gary's: Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:6-7
Joanne's: But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33

A surprise visit to Idigima!
The Director of VST, Mr. Godfrey, and Secretary, Mr. Emanueli, paid Idigima Secondary School a surprise visit on May 5th.
After addressing the student body, a large box was brought from the car and the Gospel of John booklets distributed to each of the students.
We’d known that VST was blessed by a Tanzanian publisher in the printing of the Scripture portion in Swahili, but because of our swelling population since the printing, we were not sure if there would be enough copies allocated to Idigima for all students to receive one.
As you can see from the photographs, the response was one of joy and praise.
Attending church in a nearby village on Sunday, we saw quite a few students with the booklet in hand.
Thank you for your support of this ministry; you are an encouragement to us and the 876 students we serve.
Gary and Joanne Grenell
