With 22 national parks and 32 game reserves, beautiful scenery and wildlife are abundant in Tanzania. Africa’s tallest mountain, Mt. Kilimanjaro, is located here, as well as the Serengeti, which is home to over 1,500 different species of animals.

Tanzania displays the beauty of God’s creation in full, yet this country still suffers from spiritual darkness, something OM desires to see change.

Jesus followers in Tanzania

This country is one where, on the outside, Christianity seems to be flourishing (out of the population of 69 million, 50% are believers). And though it is true that God is present and working in this nation, in reality, much of the country shows little interest in the Bible, and those who are walking with Christ do not understand the importance of missions or discipleship. Islam is widespread, as are traditional ethnic religions. Though zeal is low, this does not mean it is absent. Especially among college students, passion has started to develop to see the least reached reached with the gospel. Even when progress is slow, we can have confidence that God is working in the hearts of Tanzanians.

Tanzania is a nation of great potential, but in order for change to happen, bold believers are needed on and off the field, praying and serving. Please consider giving financially or praying for the National Workers funds. These funds help train local believers and provide them with the resources to work among the least reached. Pray also for ministry on the east coast, that through schools and sports programs, the youth would be awoken to the gospel. Lastly, pray for the overall nation of Tanzania, which has the foundations of Christ-centered communities but not the knowledge or resources to grow and learn. Pray for revival, passion and boldness.
