Summer Fun





Although it is the coldest part of the year in Tanzania, we still enjoyed our "summer" interns Samantha and Matt. Samantha taught at the school 4 days a week and Matt taught Science and assisted Nate in the ministries in Basotu. Both were a HUGE blessing to the ministry and we really enjoyed hanging out with them both.

Opportunities to Minister




Since we moved to Tanzania in December 2008, the Lord has blessed us with many opportunities to serve at the ministries at the Truth Center. God has taught us many valuable lessons in how to serve in a different culture and in a different language. Brad stays busy preaching and teaching at the church, teaching at the local high school and also our Bible Institute. Tricia has been able to run the elementary school in Natalie's absence. It has helped her in her language and leadership skills. Although we will be VERY glad when the Burkholders return, we are also very glad that they left us during this time. We have gained many valuable lessons we would not have otherwise if they were still by our side helping us find our way through our very new surroundings!
