Jerry was saved at a young age. He surrendered to preach at a tent meeting under the preaching of Tony Hutson. Jerry’s parents answered the call to missions in 1993 and arrived on the field of Tanzania in 1995. While in Africa, Jerry was always involved in the ministry by teaching out in the villages, public schools, Bible Clubs, and Sunday school. He also worked on the evangelistic puppet team that has seen hundreds of people saved. When Jerry was seventeen years old, he surrendered to go back to Tanzania. God’s calling was clear during a sermon at Pastors’ School. Soon after surrendering, he enrolled at Hyles-Anderson College and graduated in 2007. While attending college, he captained a bus route and taught a boys Sunday school class. He also worked at the college for two of the years he was enrolled.

Rachel was born and raised in a Baptist preacher’s home (Dr. Larry Brown). At the age of nine with the help of her mother, she received Christ. As a young person, Rachel surrendered to do whatever God wanted. In February of 2003, her father hired her as the full-time secretary of their church, Marion Avenue Baptist Church. She worked in this position until September of 2005, when she enrolled in college. Jerry and Rachel met at college and began dating. While dating, Rachel was able to visit Tanzania, and after a time of praying and seeking God’s will, she knew that the mission field is what God had in store for her.

Jerry and Rachel were married on July 6, 2007. On November 5, 2010, the Lord blessed them with a son, David Jerry Wyatt; and on June 13, 2012, they were blessed with a second child, Kate Dianne.

Jerry is currently the pastor of Faith Baptist Church Morogoro. He and his wife have served the Lord in this ministry since arriving on the field in 2009, and in 2012 Jerry became pastor. The Lord has truly blessed this ministry with the inception of an orphan home in 2013 and many other new ministries. Pray as God continues to work in this truly needy field of Tanzania.

We are Independent Baptist missionaries to Tanzania, East Africa. Jerry is the pastor of the Faith Baptist Church in Morogoro. Our ministries include church planting, Bible clubs, public school ministries, an orphanage, deaf ministry and evangelistic outreaches. We have been in Tanzania since January of 2009. Please join us in prayer as we do the work that the Lord has called us to do.

    Jerry and Rachel Wyatt III Prayer Letter: New Building and Easter Sunday!New Building

    We are thrilled to share that our new building is nearly complete and was ready just in time for a special opening on Easter Sunday! This beautiful space includes classrooms, a nursery, a kitchen, and office areas. We are truly grateful for how the Lord has provided every step of the way, and we’re excited to see how He will use this new facility to further His work. Please continue to pray with us that this building will be a place where lives are touched and the Gospel is shared.

    Teen Camp

    Teen Camp this year was a powerful and unforgettable time, with over 60 teens from both our Swahili and English ministries coming together under the theme “Golden Disciples,” drawn from the truth of coming forth as gold through trials. God truly did a mighty work in hearts, and we rejoice in the many spiritual decisions that were made throughout the week. We are especially thankful for the team from Victory in Grace Baptist Church in Iowa, whose partnership was a tremendous blessing in helping us run the camp. Please continue to pray for these teens as they grow in their walk with the Lord and seek to live as true disciples for His glory.

    Easter

    We had a wonderful Resurrection Sunday, beginning with a special English service, which was well attended, as we reflected on the power of the risen Christ. Following that, our Swahili services continued the celebration, with hearts stirred by the message that “The Resurrection Changes Everything.” It was a blessing to see over 700 people, across the different services, gathered together and united in praising our Saviour.

    Soul-Winning Story

    While I was in Dar es Salaam, I needed to go to a store, so I used an app to call a Bajaji (“three-wheeled taxi”). On the way there, the Lord pricked my heart to witness to the driver. When we arrived at the store, he was still not ready to make a decision, so I told him to think on it, and when I returned, we would talk more. On our trip home, I continued to share the Gospel with him. Once we arrived back, I asked him again, and this time he was ready to accept Christ as his Saviour. Praise the Lord!

    Permits

    Please be in prayer with us, as we have submitted our applications for work permits and resident visas. These permits are essential for us to remain in Tanzania and continue the ministry. We are trusting the Lord for His perfect timing and provision, and we appreciate your prayers for favor and a smooth approval process.

    Your missionaries to Tanzania,

    Jerry & Rachel Wyatt
