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: 10th Annual Stadium Crusade

Jerry and Rachel Wyatt III Prayer Letter: 10th Annual Stadium CrusadeCrusade

This year marked our 10th Annual Tanzanian Stadium Crusade. Although we originally planned to hold it in Dar es Salaam, the Lord closed that door. Instead, we focused on Morogoro, holding one main crusade on Saturday and two smaller crusades in nearby villages on Monday and Tuesday. The Lord blessed the main crusade on Saturday with over 3,500 in attendance, and 821 people turned in decision cards, indicating they had trusted Christ as their Saviour. We were honored to have Olympic legend John Stephen Akhwari with us as our special guest. He was an encouragement and inspiration to us all to “keep running the race.”

Soccer Sunday

The day after our Saturday crusade was Soccer Sunday. This is always an exciting day, as scores of teenage boys and men come with their soccer teams to receive a soccer ball. This Sunday, there were over 1,200 in attendance, with 120 trusting Christ.

Village Crusades

For the first time this year, we held two smaller crusades in villages. The first was in the village of Kiloka, located behind the mountains that surround our city.

Unbeknownst to us, before we arrived, the village soccer team scheduled to play the Pensacola soccer team had performed witchcraft rituals on the field to curse the church team and give power to their village team. During halftime, as we always do, I preached the Gospel message. We raised a large wooden cross in the center of the field, and I preached about the power of the blood of Jesus Christ. After losing the game 3-0, a member of the village team told one of our church men, “Your God was stronger than ours. We lost because you brought the cross.” Nearly 2,000 people heard the Gospel message, and we praise the Lord that, through the power of the Cross of Christ, 245 people turned in decision cards, indicating they had trusted in Jesus as their Saviour during this village crusade.

The following day, we held another village crusade in Misongeni. Again, there was a tremendous turnout, and the Lord moved mightily. In this village, 1,358 people attended the crusade, with 172 trusting Christ.

All in all, during the 4 days of soccer outreach, over 8,000 people heard a clear presentation of the Gospel, and 1,358 trusted Christ as their personal Saviour. There is power in the blood! We are so thankful to Marion Avenue Baptist Church for helping to host these events and to Pensacola Christian College’s men’s soccer team for coming to play in these crusades!

Building Faith

Please continue to pray for the second stage of our Building Faith project. The foundation has been laid, the walls have been erected, and the roof is ready to be installed. We are in desperate need of these classrooms and space, and we are praying that God will allow the building process to continue moving along quickly and smoothly.

Your representatives to Tanzania,

Jerry & Rachel Wyatt
