The brand new 2020 year brings many exciting and thought-provoking challenges. January is the beginning of the new school year for Chimala School of Preaching, Chimala Mission Primary School, Herring Christian Secondary School, and planting of crops in the farm program. The Fergusons have already arrived as well as several visitors. Read inside about the power of the gospel to save souls as well as other great works!

Year ONE under the new oversight of the Dalraida Church of Christ and me as the new stateside coordinator has been completed. What a learning experience it has been! 2019 has proven to be a mixed bag of both good and not so good, yet nothing has dampened our spirit nor hindered our resolve. And while we say good-bye to long-time Chimala workers, Bill and Cyndi Stinson; their dream will continue to be part of the overall goal of building up the body of Christ in Tanzania, East Africa. Thank you for your continued prayers, encouragement and support. You are a tremendous part of the great work at the Chimala Mission! Merry Christmas and a Happy New 2020!

“Only in heaven will we know all of the people who have helped the Chimala Mission effort. Souls have been saved, minds have been taught, and bodies have been healed due to the courage of those willing to go and work in places most of us will never see.” From farewells to future beginnings, the Chimala Mission continues to recruit new talent in the continuing challenge to evangelize southern Tanzania and beyond.

“Helping Humanity” is the theme of this special 8-page issue of the Challenge of Africa. This newsletter is actually a two-in-one edition combining both the months of September and October in a special effort to help shore-up various areas on the mission in financial need. You will also find informative insights into missions and preacher-training as well as a page dedicated to those supporters wish to honor or remember. Thank you for reading this newsletter, and thank you for your continued prayers and support!

In this month’s issue read about the successful Gospel Chariot campaign efforts as well as the great works in the hospital and schools. And please note the special plea for the farm program as the planting season is quickly approaching!

With so many visitors at the Chimala Mission while the Gospel Chariot campaigns are in full swing, we can’t get everyone in one single newsletter. This month’s edition introduces some new visitors with others to be introduced in next month’s issue. And please take time to think on the article on page four about preachers’ kids. Thanks for reading!

In this month’s issue of the Challenge, Chimala’s “winter” (our summer) is a time ushering in a host of events and visitors that make the mission busier than usual. The resulting blessings, however, are shared both by the visitors and those they assist or teach at Chimala. Thank you for reading!
