We would like to thank God for the new year. Indeed, compliments of the year to you.

1st Missionary Journey to Northwest Province in South Africa

1st Missionary Journey was to Northwest Province in South Africa for SIM Regional Prayer and Fellowship. Indeed, it was an awesome time together to share prayer needs and pray for each other.

2nd Missionary Journey to Zimbabwe

The 2nd Missionary Journey is to Zimbabwe in partnership with Onias Tapera, my friend, as he serves with Christian World Outreach. We will train church leaders and pastors where I will have an opportunity to share the T4T vision. There will be a big T4T training planned for an indigenous church in Zimbabwe. This will be a big outreach for Christ, as their doctrine is not so much Evangelical, so to speak.

3rd Missionary Journey to Botswana

The 3rd Missionary journey is to Botswana where we anticipate 10 schools to each send a teacher and about 20 churches that will send approximately 40 trainees.

More Upcoming Events

Some of our T4T trainers will be conducting training in Mlanzi and Pietermaritzburg in South Africa. We have been in communication with SIM Zambia. Once the editing of the books is complete, we will arrange for a T4T Vision sharing with the SIM Zambia team.

There is a possibility for a T4T club launch in Moramanaga in Madagascar, around May or June. A bit more updates from our T4T National coordinator below from Madagascar:

We are currently developing a structured strategy for follow-up visits. We began with the Mialy Club in Ambohitrarahaba, which serves approximately 120 children with only four instructors. Given this limited staffing, we plan to conduct regular visits to provide additional support, strengthen their capacity, and help ensure the quality. We had initially planned to launch a club in the Moramanga region at the end of this month. However, due to the rainy season, the launch has been postponed to May or June. Chris is expected to be there. We will determine the most suitable date depending on weather conditions and the overall readiness and sustainability of their activities. Regarding the training courses, we have received several requests for T4T training. As a result, we may need to adjust our program for this year to better accommodate these needs and priorities.
