Greetings!
We are hitting the ground running here in Tanzania. We are discipling a total of 11 people, and encouraging Moshono Christian church. Please read more about what God has been doing this month in Arusha, Tanzania.

Disciples
Discipleship is starting out with a bang. Bill is currently discipling 9 people, and Leah is discipling 2 women. Almost everyday of the week, one of us is meeting with someone for discipleship. It is exciting to see how the Holy Spirit is moving people to desire a closer relationship with him, and to seek a discipleship relationship.
We are praising God that those that have been disicpled are now starting to disciple others. Prosper is discipling Vincent, and is working on branching out to other area ministers, as well as a group from a local church.
Christina will begin discipling two women as well soon. We are so excited to see that our network is beginning to expand already.

Movie Night
We held a movie night for the Asian Fellowship a few weeks ago. We played "Faith like Potatoes", and around 30 people came! It was a good time to fellowship, share a movie and meal, and for the members of the fellowship to invite friends and increase interest. Around 25 people are coming regularly to the fellowship, lead by Sangita, praise God.

Baptisimal Teaching
 A week ago, Bill was able to meet with a group of new believers to teach about baptism. It was a very insightful time, and they had many questions. Two of the ladies present are being disicpled by Leah, so we thought it important that they understand the meaning and purpose of baptism. After studying scripture, three women have decided to be baptized!
Bill will be baptizing N. on Tuesday. It will truly be a celebration. The women from the Ladies' Bible Study will be there as well to support her in her decision, and we'll have a carry-in dinner afterwards.

Family
Leah is starting home school officially on Monday-Katrina is starting 2nd grade, and Heather is starting Preschool. Both girls are eager to begin school. Jonathan is now 6 months old. He is starting to scoot on his belly, sort of a pre-crawl. He has two teeth now, and is starting to babble.
