Reaching Out To Tanzania

These boys are precious to the Lord

Tim and Joyce have been Assemblies of God missionaries since 1995; they spent their first four year term of missionary service in Tanzania, East Africa. Their two daughters, Jennifer and Sarah, were with them in Tanzania and Kenya and participated in ministry outreaches with them.

During their first term, Tim and Joyce oversaw the completion of the Mwanza Bible College and it was officially dedicated in 2001; they were both part of the faculty for the Bible school and taught occasionally.  They were involved in crusades, children's workers training seminars, pastor seminars throughout the region and they hosted teams for various outreach ministries.  Tim was responsible for putting up a number of tabernacles for new or struggling churches in the region. 

Tim and Joyce finished their first term and returned to the states in June of 2001; due to health issues it was necessary for them to stay stateside for a term  They were both involved in ministry with Africa Harvest ministries for two years and then were asked to transfer to Convoy of Hope International; Tim has been an International Aid specialist for the past three years.  He has been involved in stateside disasters as well as international disasters around the world. 

In May of 2006, they were granted permission to begin the process of returning to Tanzania, East Africa.  Tim and Joyce officially begin deputation in September, 2006.  Tim will be traveling throughout Michigan, North Carolina and parts of the deep South.  They have a projected departure date of January, 2008.  They have additional funds to raise for their monthly budget as well as project money to raise. 

Jennifer is beginning her Senior year at Mizzou in Columbia, MO and will graduate with a degree in Journalism. Sarah is starting her sophomore year at Evangel University in Springfield, MO and is pursuing a degree in Psychology.
