Today I officially launch a new project here at the blog and via Spotify (other services within the week). Missionary Ramblings is a chance for me to delve into some subjects I think are important and some fun while getting to sit down with people who are leading the way in doing some good. This…

A couple of new items
This week we are kicking off a couple of new items that I have been working on while waiting for my passport to get renewed by the US Government. The first is a big one and I am hoping we can count on your support to help. We are raising funds through a virtual fundraising…
Hongera Standard 4 Students and Updates
As I write this update, I want to start by giving a big Hongera (Congratulations) to our Standard 4 students on their first government standardized test and Asante (thank you) to everyone who prayed for them. The results for our ward are back which shows how our students did against 441 Standard 4 students in…
Standardized Testing
I have mentioned from time to time about how our students do with the testing, math competitions and spelling bees, but all of that is really internal. I mean our teachers write and grade their tests. I create the competitions. Plans to test our kids against other schools always failed to materialize. So this year…
Missing Tanzania
I promised to give you updates on all three major areas of the ministry with the last being about the school itself which you can find here if you missed it. This wee I am wanting to give you an update on myself. While I have been home enjoying hot showers, clothes washer, time with…
The School is Still Operating

Christmas 2020 at the school
Thank you to everyone who has been waiting for an update on the school. As with everything to do with the year 2020 my last days on site and my early visit home have been different than normal. We had a lot going on at the school as I tried to leave because the Tanzania…
Student Introduction Videos
For the last couple of weeks I have been posting videos introducing our students starting with the oldest. I plan to continue that for a couple more weeks to get all the Standard II students on video. I am posting the videos here in case you did not see them on Facebook, Twitter, LinkIN or…
What Coronavirus?
I have made it back to the school and through my travels and now in the village the question I would ask myself if I did not know what was going on in the rest of the world–What Coronavirus? No one here wears a mask. While the church still is putting a couple of feet…
I am back at the school and happy to be here
I have returned to Tumaini (Hope) Evangelistic Pre & Primary School in Kiruani, Tanzani. It has been an interesting year for everyone. After having to return to the USA on the last KLM flight out and documenting the ghost town appearance of the airports, I spent 5 months at home. I learned how to do…
