TANZANIA - DAR SALAAM (MAINLAND)

  The 1 hour long, very hot journey to a Church service under a tree prompted me to use my Bible for shade! “the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand” Ps.121:5

ZZZ trip stories Tanzania Zanzibar Zimbabwe Zambia

Addictions in the Muslim world
I dug my toes into the warm sand as I sat on the beach watching and listening. I was watching Matt swim and enjoying the scenery. Small fishing boats anchored in the shallow water near the beach. The sun was slowly sinking in the distance, creating a picturesque scene on the horizon. I was listening to the tale of a Muslim man who I had just met. He was pouring his heart out. He and his brother had been in England for a period of time. Whilst there, his brother had picked up a serious drug addiction. The addiction travelled back with him all the way to the small island of Zanzibar where we were now sitting. The addiction haunted him and his family and created much sorrow and heartache.

 The “Bagomoyo” Livingstone Monument
coast of Tanzania
It has long been our desire to visit some of the key sites commemorating the life of David Livingstone, a man who gave his life for the furtherance of the gospel in Africa. We had already gone to the Livingstone Museum in Southern Zambia, and Chitambo village, where he died in Northern Zambia. Recently, we discovered that Bagomoyo, the Tanzanian coastal town where Livingstone's body was carried en route to England, is one hour outside of Dar Salaam. On my recent visit I decided to make the trip. After reconnecting with Lucas (who I meet each time I visit Tanzania) and Pastor Davis (a pastor from northern Tanzania), we made the epic journey, traveling by minibus as well as a 3-wheeled pajaj to find Bagomoyo. It was truly inspiring, to find

"Any Seeds To Declare?"

Seed is potent. It is regulated by customs at all borders. The pure gospel seed of grace is powerful. I've thought about declaring it at customs when I travel! It is genetically designed to go beyond borders. I just took an inspiring trip, taking Benson, a disciple from Zambia & crossing over into neighboring Tanzania &
