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: Missions MastermindMissions Mastermind

    This past month, our family had the wonderful opportunity to travel to Thailand for a special missions event. We joined a group of missionaries from our mission agency for Missions Mastermind, a time designed for refreshment, fellowship, and sharing ideas to strengthen our work on the mission field. It was a blessing to hear Bro. Mark Bosje and Bro. John Wilkerson, who encouraged and challenged all of us. The ladies enjoyed a special time of spiritual renewal and fellowship, and our kids loved meeting and spending time with other missionary children. After the Missions Mastermind, we traveled to Hua Hin, where I had the privilege of preaching at the International Baptist Church with Bro. Matt Bosje. We were also able to spend a few days in Bangkok, enjoying some family vacation time and making wonderful memories together.

    Visiting Group

    What a blessing it was to host Rachel’s sister Rebecca, her husband (Pastor Tim Trieber), and their family, along with a group from Hillview Baptist Church, for a missions trip! Their team was busy with a variety of outreach ministries, including a Ladies’ Meeting, Bible Clubs, and a one-day Vacation Bible School. We saw many trust Christ at these events. Their visit was such an encouragement to us and a wonderful time of fellowship. Our kids absolutely loved having their cousins here, and it was so special for Rachel to share a bit of her life and ministry with her sister and family.

    Ladies’ Meeting

    We were thrilled to host a neighborhood Ladies’ Meeting, with over 60 women in attendance. It was a wonderful time of fellowship, singing, and hearing the Gospel clearly presented. Several ladies trusted Christ as their Saviour, and we praise the Lord for these decisions. The meeting was held in a predominantly Muslim neighborhood, yet the women were warm and receptive to the message. Some even came to church the next Sunday, and we are grateful for how God opened hearts and continues to work in this community.

    Work Permits and Visas

    We are rejoicing in a major answer to prayer, as we have finally received our exemption letter, along with both our permits and visas. This has been something we have been praying for over the past several years, and we are so thankful to the Lord for making it possible. His timing is always perfect, and we give Him all the glory for this wonderful provision in allowing us to remain in Tanzania.

    Your representatives to Tanzania,

    Jerry & Rachel Wyatt
