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

There is ALWAYS Time for Soccer
Monday and Wednesday evenings are designated "Sports and Games" for students to play football (soccer), netball, and volleyball. The schedule is interrupted at times by work projects, but that can't be helped when you are building the classrooms you will occupy during the next school year.
Every so often, the boy teachers will challenge the students to a match. There is always a big crowd of students and locals to watch these matches. The students always seem to come out on top, which only adds to the enjoyment and esteem of the student body.
They will talk for days afterward about the good plays performed by their teachers. No, they have never been successful in getting "Babu" to make a fool of himself trying to keep up in this game of constant motion. I enjoy taking pictures and socializing on the sidelines.
Your Hands & Feet in Tanzania,
Gary & Joanne
