Street Evangelizing with the Korean Team

Yesterday, the Korean Team from Baekseok University and some of our members from our church went to the streets of Arusha to do some street evangelizing!  The team prepared and practiced some Swahili songs to sing, following was a message given by Professor Lee, and a time for people to respond to the message. It was an amazing experience for everyone involved, and three people gave their lives to Christ. 

The team is set up only a few blocks away from the church.

Mission Trip to Maasai village

The team did an outreach to minister to the Maasai. They visited with them, did worship with them, prayed over them and their land, and they bought them soap. Pastor Greg preached the Word of God to them. One village invited the team to their church where they worshipped together and Pastor Greg preached about pushing through situations until you see the breakthrough.

Here is a temporary church building(KIA BRANCH). At this village the team joined in prayer with them for a new church building and for their land to be blessed.

At this village the  Pastor Greg preached about Abraham and his covenant with God and how as believers we are also in covenant with God. Before the team left, they joined in prayer with the tribe for a church building since they do not have one yet.

Wide Awake Team in Zanzibar 2019

The team visited Zanzibar where by 99% of people living there are muslims.

 Pictured above is where the team went on their first night in Zanzibar. The team loved their church and their worship.

Pastor Greg and team members Holly and Tayler all spoke. Pastor Greg preached on John chapter 4 where it gives the story of Jesus and the Samaritan women at the well. He talked about how with Jesus we are always satisfied and without him we are not.

On their second day in Zanzibar the team went to minister at a primary school. They got to sing some songs for them, play with the students, do a skit for them, and the team let the students ask them any questions they had about the Bible or anything else. The students were so smart and asked very deep and hard questions!

2019 Wide Awake Mission day 1

Wide Awake Mission

On their first day in Arusha(19th July, 2019), the team worked at Marantha Mission School. They split up into two groups and got to sing songs for the kids and they taught them Bible Stories and had some students volunteer to act them out. One group did the story of David and Goliath and the other group did the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

 In the afternoon, they combined all pupils from school with neighborhood kids and played games with them and Pastor Greg got to speak to them.

 To finish the day the team and students played one big game of Hide and Seek. The team members hid and the students had to find them!

 The team also gave out paper and crayons and colored with the students.

And they made paper airplanes with them!

Wide Awake Mission 2019

Wide Awake Missions believes that the mission's life is more than just a short trip overseas...but rather it's the start of a missional journey, where Jesus smashes everything in your life and opens your eyes to a new, fresh, and adventurous passion--a task that is greater than yourself. Wide Awake Missions offers unique short-term opportunities to adventurous individuals who are ready to passionately share the Gospel of Jesus to the world and experience a life-changing collision of faith and adventure
