“One thing is for sure; nothing is for sure!” A routine day of teaching and chapel services was pleasantly interrupted by a early morning call to the Headmaster’s office for a staff meeting with the Director and Secretary of Village Schools Tanzania (VST).
Following the meeting, the co-founders of the VST mission that started in 2007 and now encompasses 28 registered schools visited with students at the end of our chapel services. They encouraged the students to fulfill their goals in education and contribute to the betterment of Tanzania as pastors, doctors, nurses, engineers, teachers, policemen, or whatever it is God is calling them to become.
Their visit ended with a visit to our home. Mr. Hiari shared future plans for Idigima and the development of new schools in the Mbeya Region. Mr. Masumbuko purchased some of Joanne’s sewing items (book bags, uniform ties and scarves) to share with students at their home school of Madisi Secondary School in the Iringa Region.
As you consider the incredible sacrifice and dedication of these men, we hope you will join us in praying for their physical safety as they travel all over this country, their spiritual strength and insight as they select and train leaders and teachers, and the growth of leaders in the organization to lighten the loads of these wonderful servants.
Living in God’s grace,
Gary and Joanne Grenell
