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.

Prayer request from Joanne
Please, I could use some special prayers right now.
Last Sunday I went to a church that students are starting across the mountain. As I was coming home I jumped over an irrigation ditch. My skirt was not full enough to allow the full stretch. I ended up in the ditch and stretched some muscles in my right upper calf.
I Aced it with ointment and have been in bed for three days. I will try to stand on it tomorrow and get back in the classroom. Gary has been a saint, trying to cover all of my bases and needs along with his own schedule.
Many great things are happening here; we wouldn't want to be any other place.
Praise God; He is great!
Love,
Joanne (and Gary)
