Mission to Tanzania — July 2006
Imagine spending a morning gazing at mist-shrouded Mt. Kilamanjaro and an afternoon bringing hope to an AIDS orphan. A team of ten are embarking on a lifetime opportunity to serve as Jesus' hands, feet and heart in East Africa. We will be serving in an AIDS ministry center, worshipping in local churches, helping with the construction of a new roof at Makumira Lutheran Seminary and visiting our friends, "The New Life Band." In addition, we will be visiting the Ngorongoro Crater and spending significant time engaging the culture of one of Africa's most diverse nations. Here is a look at the next 17 days. We will be in and around the city of Arusha in Northern Tanzania for our entire time in Tanzania.
