Women at the Well

While at our church, three women approached, carrying their buckets, to ask about drawing water from the church well. I told them we would start the pump but mentioned that I would like to share some John and Romans booklets from our church with them. As we talked, I asked them about their thoughts on eternity. They said they believed they would go to Heaven because of their good works. This opened the door for me to share the wonderful news of the Gospel and explain how they could receive the Living Water, Who would satisfy their spiritual thirst forever. As I shared the Gospel with the women, it reminded me so much of the story of the “Woman at the Well” in John 4. At one point, I almost jokingly said, “Go call your husband,” but decided that might not be best.

After presenting the Gospel, I turned to John 4, shared the story, and pointed out the parallels. I explained how Jesus offered Living Water to the woman at the well and that the same offer was available to them. By God’s grace, all three bowed their heads and received salvation. Before they left, I encouraged them to share their new faith with others, just as the woman in the Bible had done after encountering Jesus. It was such a blessing to witness their decisions and to remind them of the joy of telling others about Him.

Bus

We are so thankful to the Lord for blessing our ministry with a bus! It was imported directly from Japan and is in excellent condition. This will be an incredible resource for transporting people to church and supporting various ministry activities. So that I can drive the bus, I had to get the equivalent of a CDL. That meant that I had to go to driving school. Thankfully, I was able to go early and train in our bus on my own schedule. What a blessing it was to be able to lead my teacher to the Lord during one of the days we were out driving. I was so blessed when he came on Sunday as well.

Radio

What a blessing it was to hear one of our radio staff share a testimony about a listener who called in and asked about salvation. They said, “I am just calling because I do not understand eternal life at all.” Our staff member was able to share a clear presentation of the Gospel over the phone, and the caller was able to trust Christ as their Saviour. We are working to produce more Gospel presentations. Throughout our programming schedule, we have presentations of the Gospel from different staff members. We want to be sure that if someone faithfully listens to Voice of Life Radio, they will hear the Gospel many times a day.

Building Faith

We praise the Lord for continuing to allow us to move forward with construction. Lord willing, we will be able to move in by Easter Sunday. Please help us continue to pray that all will go smoothly and that we will be able to meet our goal.

Work Permits

In the month of April, we will be submitting the paperwork for our work permits to allow us to continue serving the Lord here in Tanzania. Please pray that this process will go smoothly.

Your missionaries to Tanzania,

Jerry & Rachel Wyatt
