July 9, 2013
At this time I am gearing up to spend a year in Tanzania, Africa as an English teacher. I am going to serve with an organization called Village Schools International (VSI). My whole purpose in going to Tanzania this coming year is to ultimately share the Gospel with the people there.
I have been spending the last few months raising support and finishing up paperwork to be fully prepared (legally) to embark on this journey. At this point I have registered with the embassy, applied for my VISA and sent in my credentials to teach. All that is really left to do before September 7th rolls around is to start gathering packing materials and most of all spend time in prayer. Praying that God will prepare my heart for the work that will be done and for the hearts of my future students, their families and the other members of the village.
I have created this blog so that my family, friends, supporters and anyone else who would like to stay updated on my year in Tanzania will have a way to keep informed on what is happening over there. My internet access is very limited once I arrive, so this blog will be the best way to communicate with you.
Thank you for your prayers as this new adventure begins!
