Dear Sponsors,
Blessings in Jesus!
We thank God for your support through sponsorship and prayers! Thank you for the important role you have in our children’s lives and the impact your support is having on them! We continue to pray for you on a regular basis.
We thank God for a donor who gave funds that enabled us to purchase rice and gift 3kgs of bags of
rice to our immediate neighbors. Rice is a luxury commodity as opposed to cornmeal which is a staple food. As mentioned in our last update, we undertook house to house evangelism and shared the Gospel with our neighborhood. The gift of rice is a practical expression of the love of Jesus.
We celebrated two of our younger children’s birthdays – Ibrahim (6) and Neema (7), who loved their birthday clothes and birthday cupcakes! It’s an absolute pleasure to celebrate these precious children and to see them delight in being made special for a day! In keeping with our tradition, the rest of the children shared a Bible verse with Ibrahim and Neema.
I had the privilege of attending the board meeting of World Mission Outreach and share with the board, what God has carried out in the last year in Tanzania through our orphan center. I also had an opportunity to speak briefly at two churches to share a few highlights of how God is working at our orphan center. The board and the churches were encouraged to hear of the testimony of God’s
outworking here.
After an absence of two weeks I had a warm welcome by Sekela, our children and two of the
relatives of the children, who had been praying for my trip and safe return! I continued to be humbled by Sekela, our children and their relatives and their love.
We celebrated three of our secondary students who graduated form four and tomorrow will sit their national exams. These exams are crucial and will determine their future steps. Your prayers for them over the next two weeks, is gratefully and sincerely appreciated. It continues to be a privilege to be a part of these student’s lives and to seem them develop.
Please prayerfully consider coming to Tanzania and visiting us! Come and meet the child or children you are sponsoring, your life will be impacted!
I am continually reminded of the privilege to be a part of these precious children’s lives and to sow into them God’s Word and to raise them up, to be godly young men and women.
With sincerest thanks and much love in Him,
Darlene and Henry Matarrita
