Our brother Eric Mutale has been actively involved in sharing the true gospel on behalf of our ministry for several years primarily in the country of Tanzania. Currently, brother Eric is targeting cities in Tanzania in and around Dar es Salaam as well as major cities in Uganda and Kenya, countries that have been subjected to political instability. We want to keep brother Eric in prayer that God would strengthen him both physically and spiritually for the work. And we want to be praying that our Tract (English version) (Kiswahili version) will be used of the LORD in the lives of those who receive the tract.
In addition to our tract, we have recently updated and condensed the book, The End Of The Church Age And After…(English version) (Kiswahili version) in regards to the timeline of the end and correcting a few doctrinal statements since the book was first published in 2002 by our faithful and beloved late Bible teacher, Mr. Camping. Brother Eric has translated this into the Kiswahili language, which is the official language of Tanzania. Eric has been distributing this condensed booklet in limited quantities.
Please be in prayer for these and other efforts send forth the true gospel. And please send your free will donations by visiting our Donate Page. It requires money to print and distribute materials. With one mind and one heart we work to share the true gospel anywhere the opportunity presents itself, which is altogether in accordance with God’s will. This requires the prayers and financial contributions of all those who love the LORD and desire to do HIS will. Please note we never sell these materials, as clearly noted on the cover of each booklet. We operate according to Matthew 10:8, …freely ye have received, freely give.
2 Corinthians 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
We also want to take this opportunity to introduce the ministry of ZionInTravail.com, which is an extension of SearchingHisWord.com with a focus on international expansion of the true gospel. It is funded by those who put up their own funds in recognition of the need. All free will financial contributions may be sent via our Donate Page. Please direct any questions to info@ZionInTravail.com.
The following are daily reports sent to us by brother Eric, with photos and videos included. These reports allow us to pray more intelligently and specifically for the work. In reading these reports, please be aware that Tanzania time is currently 10 hours ahead of Pacific daylight time. Date stamps are referenced to Pacific daylight time. For example, message received Saturday, 16-March, says, Blessed Lord’s Day, because it is Sunday, 17-March local time in Tanzania from which it was sent.

Total tracts for Kenya=30,000
Total TEOCAAA Booklets = *225
2. UGANDA

Please see front/back of our latest tract, and cover page of the updated and condensed TEOTCAAA (The End Of The Church Age…And After) in English and Kiswahili.
11 March 2024
Hello brother Brad
I received the TEOTCAAA English version cover design this morning. Discussed with the printer and the printing work starts this morning. The printer will get back to me on delivery date, but I am sure it will be within 48 hours or so, we have electricity challenge and so power rationing is in place all over the country.
12 March 2024
Hello brother Brad
Printing of the Gospel materials is starting tonight…I will be visiting the print shop in about an hour just in case of anything requiring my attention.
I will also use the opportunity to ask for early delivery, it has been a while since I started planning…and so want to be in the streets this week, no further delays
This time it is my heart to use the strategy of reaching the particular city and surrounding towns and villages through markets, schools and local bus terminals. Through the market and schools, I will reach the city and through bus terminals reach smaller towns and villages around the city.
15 March 2024
Hello brother Brad
The printer is almost done. I expected him to finish earlier than this, but he could not, due to electricity rationing going on in our country, he did not have power for almost two days.
I will provide further updates this evening.
Thank you
Hello brother Brad
The printer informed me late that the printing is finished, I will be going to his print shop later this morning to collect the gospel materials.
Will share photos after collecting. Once I have the materials then, Lord willing, will start the distribution as planned.
Thank you
16 March 2024
Hello brother Brad
Blessed Lord’s Day
I was informed by the printer that the tracts are ready for collection, but my van is not in good mechanical condition. I will collect the materials tomorrow Monday.
Lord willing, I will leave Dar es Salaam for Nairobi Monday night meaning I will arrive in Nairobi on Tuesday.
Thank you and have a wonderful Lord’s day
18 March 2024
Hello brother Brad,
I hope you are well.
I finally got the gospel materials, tracts and booklets done. I am attaching videos taken at the print shop today. Actually, the printer overprinted Kiswahili tracts by 25,000 tracts and less same for English ones and so I spent almost eight hours there overseeing him print the 25,000 English tracts to bring it to the required number.
My travel arrangement is to start the efforts in Kenya on Thursday 21 March. I will use Tuesday and Wednesday for booking and money changing as this one is going to involve Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda currencies.
I am also attaching the receipt for the materials.
This time the printer will arrange transportation to the Bus Company and so I did not have to bring the materials home because the buses for Nairobi start just about 200 meters from his print shop.
I will appreciate your prayers so that our Lord bless this effort.
20 March 2024
Hello brother Brad,
I am glad to let you know that, pleasing to our Lord Jesus Christ, I will be leaving Dar es Salaam for Nairobi, Kenya later today to share the gospel with the people of Kenya, this time in three cities of Meru, Embu and Nyeri. This will not be the first time, as years ago I visited these three cities plus Karatina and distributed thousands and thousands of “Has God Saved You?” tracts.
I have everything in place ready for the trip, later in the day, I will go to the printer to collect the gospel materials and bring to Kidia One Bus Terminal for loading. I had expected to use the same Bus Company used the last time but i changed because I found this one is a cheaper.
I hope and pray the Lord Jesus will grant me with travelling mercies, guide and cause me to have the strength to stand in the streets of these cities to share the gospel. I also pray that I will find favor in the eyes of all authorities to allow me share the gospel in these three countries.
I will be seeking permission from the authorities in each of the cities prior to distribution as I did in my last trip following the incident in the city of Eldoret.
Once I am done with these Kenyan cities, I will proceed on to Uganda to share the gospel in four cities of Jinja, Kampala (Capital City of Uganda) Mbarara and Masaka. Many years ago, I once visited Kampala only and this came after distributing in Kenya and so I am following the same route.
Once I am done with Kenya and Uganda then I and two other volunteers will finish with Tanzania.
As you can see, this is a huge effort and therefore I need your prayers for strength and that our Lord bless many many people with salvation we all so desperately need.
Like the people of Nineveh in the book of Jonah, may God bless these cities and cause as many as it pleases Him to turn to the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation.
Jonah 3:5, 9:
“So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?”
Only God can bring us to His salvation as is written in John 6:44:
“No man can come to me, except the Father which sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day”.
Again thank you all for providing the funds to be able to reach our fellow human beings in this crucial time of this world’s existences.
Please, pray for me too.

Eric Mutale with Bible Tracts and Booklets for Distribution
Hello brother Brad, I left Dar es Salaam for Nairobi-Kenya last night. I am now on Kenya territory at Namanga border control, this is the bus I am travelling in and at the moment we are going through customs check, will be leaving for Nairobi as soon as they are done. I thank the Lord Jesus for His travelling mercies…brother Eric Mutale
I expect to be in Nairobi in the afternoon, then will look for transportation to Meru to start the distribution.
22 March 2024
Hello brother Brad,
I am now in Nairobi, arrived around 2pm, I will spend the night here then early in the morning tomorrow I will leave for Meru. I just came from booking, will later this evening take the tracts and TEOCAAA booklets for Meru, Embu and Nyeri to the bus I will be travelling in and leave tracts for Uganda at the office of the Bus I came in from Tanzania but if I locate offices for buses to Kampala Uganda, I will arrange with them to keep the gospel material until I return and done with Kenya distribution.
Thank you,
Bro. Mutale
Nairobi
Walking down the street I see thousands upon thousands of people and wish I can just start sharing.
By the way, have you discussed the possibility for some of you who might be less busy to come to Afrika to share the gospel, you will really see a lot, people take tracts can share thousands daily.
Can also learn and see how things work here like it took me 15 hours sitting in a bus, which is OK to me, to reach here.
23 March 2024
Hello brother Brad
I have arrived in Meru City this evening. I left Nairobi around midday and took more than five hours to arrive here
I thank God for safe trip and I look forward to first day of sharing the gospel here tomorrow
The city has changed alot from the time I came here in 2007 with lots of people in the streets.
Lord willing, I will be sharing my first report tomorrow evening.
Thank you all again for your continued prayers for me and the people around this subregion that the Lord bless with salvation as many as He is pleased.
Brother Mutale
MERU-Mt Kenya Province
I also noticed that the Internet is not stable, guess due to weather and also that it is a mountainous area, very cold weather. The city is on the foot of Mt Kenya, second only to Tanzania’s snowcapped Mt Kilimanjaro which is the highest in Afrika.
