For several years, Maria
and I worked with several Tanzanian churches to minister
to Somali refugees living in Tanzania. In 2003, our
efforts paid off and the very first Somali church outside
of Somai was born. That new church now has a desire
to send missionaries into Der Es Salaam and back to
Somalia!
Last year, we sent a mid-term
team to spend three years in Tanzania. Their job: to
mobilize the national church in Tanzania to adopt the
remaining 31 people groups in the country with little
or no church presence. Their goal: to begin a church
planting movement among each of these unreached people
groups.
This summer, they presented
the very first Harvest Connection seminar in Mtwara.
The training was a success! The national church in the
region adopted six unreached people groups! The team
plans to return in October to follow-up with the pastors
involved in these partnerships.
AIMS is also working with a church in Grand Rapids,
Michigan, who had adopted the Somalis and is now interested
in adopting another unreached people group in Tanzania.
