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

“Don’t let the sun go down on me . . .”
We still use the solar panels when possible, but the new home-based regulator is working well for getting the computer batteries charged fully in just a few minutes. Now we just need our own modem for Internet connection . . .
We are showing the Jesus film two or three times a week to 40-45 students at a time. Joanne made movie tickets, so it's a big deal among the students. Any larger group and they wouldn't be able to see and hear well. One of the older Christian students gives an invitation or encouragement in Christ at the end. Response has been great!
This, added to visits to the village two to four times per week and handling First Aid at the games keeps our evenings pretty packed out. I have exams piling up that need to be scored and returned in both English and Bible. Of course, the students want to know the next day how they did . . . So, better close and get it done.
Love,
Gary (& Joanne)
