What an amazing week in Tanzania! This group of pastors and other church leaders have now completed the entire Global Baptist Training Foundation program, and today they celebrated their graduation! Many of these pastors had prayed for years that God would allow them to get theological training. Their thankfulness is overwhelming! Until GBTF came to Tanzania, this type of training and education was beyond their reach.

They sang and worshipped!

This is yet another small army that will be going out to disciple, plant churches, and train others.

We are thankful for Dr Larry Bazer who gives his time and pays for his own travel to teach alongside Dr Bruce Snavely and others. Our East Africa Trainer/Director, Shinga Fidele, founded this Tanzania class and has taught many of the courses in the program.
