October News

Family News

 As a family we have been in the US since August. We have had a chance to visit family and friends on the west coast. Luke has been able to share numerous times about the ministries in Tanzania to a few churches as well. In all of this the Lord has blessed us immensely by providing for our needs and protecting us on the many travels. You can pray for Harry and Ruth Johnson as they carry the burden alone back in Kigoma. We look forward to our return in November. Luke will begin teaching our first Monday back and the girls will begin the full load of 2nd and 5th grade. 

Discipleship School

The school hasn't skipped a beat in our absence and is under the capable supervision of brother Japhet. Harry Johnson is currently teaching on the End Times.
Pray for the students to be diligent in this last trimester of classes and to finish strong. We hope to have some 10 men and women graduating the middle of December, Lord willing.

Special Prayer

We ask that you pray for us as we continue to seek the Lord in regards to a property that was purchased for the use of the Discipleship School. After 2 years of visiting the local land office, we have not made any headway so we are weary and discouraged. However, we want to trust God and ask that He work a miracle in all this if He so wills.

Blessings in Christ,

  Luke and Gina Johnson
