“Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.” Hebrews 13:20-21

In March, our Tanzania Program Facilitator, Elisha Motomoto, traveled to Zambia for a time of ministry training and equipping. We’re incredibly thankful for the support that made this opportunity possible! Elisha carries a deep passion for discipling children and youth in Tanzania, and his heart for the next generation is truly inspiring.

As he wraps up his training and prepares to return home to his family in Bunda, we ask that you continue to lift him up in prayer — for renewed strength, vision, and fruitful ministry ahead.
