From South Carolina to Tanzania

Back in the month of July, two ladies from St. James traveled to our sister synod in Tanzania to serve as temporary missionaries. While they were there, they taught Vacation Bible School to 250 children, and they presented cross necklaces to them made by the children of our church. In return, the children of Tanzania made crosses that were brought back to our kids here. Sent there with much support and many prayers from our congregation, these ladies were able to provide school uniforms for 25 orphans and layettes for 25 newborn babies. They were also able to help build a house for a widow, her 4 children, and her brother. We give thanks to our Father God for the many ways in which He works through his people here and throughout the world. We also continue to pray for families and children in Tanzania, that they will always know the deep love of Jesus for them.
