Back in 2020 we started praying a Breakthrough Prayer for an unreached people group in Africa—the Nyamwezi. For over five years we’ve been asking: Father, use us to build a Christ-centered reproducing church among an unreached people, the Nyamwezi, by 2030.
This year we are celebrating the 250th birthday of the United States of America. In the scheme of history 250 years is only a blip in time. On July 4th in 1776, the Declaration of Independence was set forth to notify King George and Great Britain that a new country had been formed and would no longer be subject to the King or his country.
On the outside at face value, Vacation Bible School (VBS) seems to be an outreach program for others. But after putting a bow on one of my favorite weeks of the year, I would argue that VBS is actually is a health check and team building exercise for God’s church, leaving God’s people stronger than before.
Since the start of this decade, we have been asking the Lord to use us to build a Christ-centered reproducing church among the Nyamwezi people of Tanzania by 2030.
Though we usually don’t know all that is happening behind the scenes, I’m excited to share with you one peek behind the curtain—one way we see the Lord answering that request.
