2026 March Tanzania Gospel Outreach

 Tanzania Gospel Outreach

Dear Brothers & Sisters:

The following are reports for a second gospel outreach effort to 10 cities in Tanzania, East Africa, now completed, from our brother Eric Mutale. By God’s mercy the True Gospel is going out, and based on the Biblical language, God is using these efforts to gather in his elect from the four winds, as we read in

Matthew 24:31 And he shall send his angles [Greek: aggelos, messengers] with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Zechariah 10:1 
1 Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.

As you read these reports, could it be that God might lay it on your hearts to pray for these people and then to put feet under that by giving financially in order that the true gospel might go forth mightily in 2026 as we draw ever closer to our Lord’s soon return? To make your freewill donation, please click on the following link: DONATE

Thank you very much in advance for caring and sharing.

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.


Please pray that God might bless His Word to many hearts as He continues to seek out and save His elect during this time of Great Tribulation.

10 March 2026

Hello brother Brad 

I am glad to let you know that the gospel tracts distribution in Tanzania for March 2026 has started.

I am grateful to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ for once again enabling the sharing of the true gospel in Tanzania for the second time in 2026.

An integral part of the gospel we are sharing here is the fact that the church age has ended in fulfilment of Matthew 24:2 which says;

And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

And also that salvation is still available, the Lord has provided us a way to understand that there is salvation of His elect right up to the last second prior to the glorious appearance of our Lord in the clouds of His when He comes to take His elect home.

The Lord declared in Isaiah 60:11

Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought.

The gates in view here is a reference to the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, He said in John 10:9 that;

I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

Meaning that salvation is available day and night unlike a false teaching which falsely teach that salvation ended on 21 May, 2011.

O praise God for His mercies, that we can still call upon Him for salvation right up to the end of time.

It is on this basis and obedience to His command to go into the world and preach the gospel that I and two friends namely William and Richard left Dar es Salaam on 7th of March and came to Moshi, Kilimanjaro with thousands of IHGWSM [I Hope God Will Save Me?] and TEOTCAAA [The End of the Church Age and After] tracts to share with the people of this city and surrounding smaller cities, towns and villages. [As we do so, we are walking in the footsteps of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.]

 *DAY ONE-08th Mar 2026* 

Location: Moshi Municipal Main Market (Soko Kuu)

Moshi is a city on the foot of the world famous Mount Kilimanjaro where I also grew up and attended secondary school, currently with the population of about 221,733.

The work started very early in the morning and each one took a position around the Market which serves people from all over the Region. This market is so big that more than four distributors can take positions and share the gospel from sunrise to sunset. Countless trucks bring agricultural produce from around the region while others take people and goods to the five districts and hence enabling the tracts to go to the entire region.

Reception was moderate but still thousands of different people visiting the market every day were reached.

I have attached photos and videos focusing on individuals who accepted tracts.

We left the market in the evening completing day one with joy that we were able to reach our fellow human beings with the most precious gospel we all desperately need.

 *DAY TWO-09 Mar 2026* 

Location: Mbuyuni Market

This market is second to the main market in terms of size

Again, the work started very early in the morning. A few meters from this market is the main city bus terminal which serves the city of Moshi.

Reception was no different from yesterday’s and actually virtually no one refused a tract, some asked for additional tracts for their loved ones but also a few young people asked and did help to share the tracts.

A few questions were asked and virtually no tract was discarded, just like yesterday’s distribution.

 *DAY THREE-10th Mar 2026* 

Location: Reginald Mengi Secondary School and Njoro Community 

We targeted Secondary school students in this area where we stood at the junction which leads to a number of secodary and primary schools.

We were met with amazing reception from students almost “fighting” to get a tract…some asked bundles of 100 to take into their campus for students who come to schools from the other side where we could not reach.

There is also a big community called Njoro where back in 2004 I had an opportunity to meet leprous people who welcomed me so that I could discuss with them about the gospel in my first ever tracts sharing in Moshi. Unfortunately I could not identify any of the individuals I met then but the community is still there.

We left early, just after school hours ended and having finished tracts allocated for Moshi we headed back to our Lodge, picked tracts and left for Arusha city which is just about 72 Kilometers away.

Thus ended Moshi-Kilimanjaro tracts distribution.

Kindly pray for the people who accepted tracts and their loved ones for salvation, as is with other cities, the majority of the people who took tracts and showed interest in the gospel were young people. [Africa has the youngest population of any continent with median age under 20.] 

I attach a few photos and videos for all to have an idea of how the the Lord worked there.

May the Lord bless work in the hearts of Moshi people.

15 March 2026

[We rejoice to bring another report from brother Eric Mutale, whose team of three is distributing 300,000 tracts in the Kiswahili language to a number of cities in the country of Tanzania]

Hello brother Brad, 

Blessed Lord’s Day. 

Praise God for His mercies without which we are nothing.

Overall reception was good but the team could not finish all the tracts allocated for this city. Shinyanga is always very hard because the population is scattered except for the two spots the team shared tracts in the first two days that is why the team had to walk just like the young people who sell along the streets which was joyable still as many of these young people helped sharing the tracts too.

The Bible says in Lamentations 3:22-23

22 It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

I am grateful to our Lord for the protection and strength to continue sharing the most important message of Salvation and Judgement in these very last of the last days we live in.

This report is for Arusha City in Northern Tanzania.

After finishing with Moshi, Kilimanjaro the team travelled and arrived in Arusha safely. The distance between these two cities is just about 72 Kilometers apart, they are like twin cities.

The population of Arusha stand a little less than 500,000. The City is a tourist hub for Tanzania and East Africa sourounded with scores of National Parks the chief being Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.

Wonderful work for all three days the team spent there.

*DAY ONE-11 Mar 2026*

Location: Soko Kuu Arusha

This was the first day the team spent sharing the gospel in Arusha and focus was on the Arusha’s biggest market in order to reach the entire city from one spot.

Reception was moderate in the morning but increased in the afternoon all the way to sunset. Many people from their work places pass here to buy especially vegetables before going to their respective homes.

The team was not stationery, we walked the length and breadth reaching sellers who sat on the ground, petty sellers along the four roads around the Market, those in shops as well as passers-by, in cars, trucks and school children.

The team concluded the work for the day around 6:30 pm and with gladness in our hearts returned to our Lodge. 

*DAY TWO-12 Mar 2026*

Location: Kilombero Market/Wachagga Str.

We at first did not know where our next distribution spot would be. As we were thinking about it William came with a suggestion of another big market called Kilombero which is on Sindida/Dodoma highway to the west.

Amazing spot too, we shared tracts for many hours here, walked around and were able to meet even people from nearby communities.

The team left the market around 4pm and went to Wachagga Street which is a junction used by those who come from offices in the city center, a wonderful location too and hundreds of people took tracts from this spot even though we did not finish all the tracts we took for the day but we are thankful to the Lord for thousands who had accepted tracts so far.

*DAY THREE-13 Mar 2026*

Location: Sanawari

Sanawari is a very big community along Moshi-Nairobi (Kenya) Highway. The team stood on the two sides of the highway and was able to reach hundreds of people. The best thing about these locations is that people come in almost single lines making it easy to share tracts and in this case almost no one refused to pick a tract. The team was almost stationery and it was so exciting to be able to share tracts to almost everyone who passed here.

At one time we discovered a group of people sitting together waiting for government officials who were conducting a workshop, one of us was allowed in and shared hundred of tracts with many taking a few for their loved ones.

Thus ended Arusha tracts distribution efforts. By the way, this was my third time to visit Arusha, reception this time was very much higher than the previous trips and hundreds of thousands of youth took tracts: students, motorbike riders, petty traders and those in cars.

[The median age in Tanzania is approximately 17.5 years old, with nearly half the population being under 15 years old.]

Truly one can see that the doors are not closed as some teach. 

[…behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it…Revelation 3:8]

[Isaiah 60:11 Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles…]

At the end of each tracts sharing in a city or country we can be assured there are those whom God will save because that is what He promised, a great multitude which we can not number [Revelation 7:9,14]

O praise God and please pray for God’s will to be done in this beautiful city of Arusha and beyond.

May God richly bless His people with His glorious salvation.

For Arusha City tracts sharing ,

It’s brother Eric Mutale

[Editor: please pray and consider giving financially in order that we can continue to do the Lord’s work in this day when God has declared that the rivers of living water are flowing from the throne of God, completely apart from the oversight of the churches, and the forces of the Gentiles are flowing into the kingdom of God, the abundance of the sea, a great multitude which no man can number]

18 March 2026

Hello brother Brad 

This report is for Mwanza City, Tanzania. 

Mwanza is the second largest city in Tanzania, after Dar es Salaam. It is located in North-West Tanzania, on the shores of the world famous Lake Victoria which is shared with Kenya and Uganda. It is also the source of longest river in the world,the great Nile.

Population: 1,518,810 (2026)

Main activity: Mwanza is a center of mining industry of Tanzania attracting people from all over the world including neighbouring countries of Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, DR Congo as well as a those from outside Afrika. Sharing tracts here means the possibility of meeting people from all these countries.

Once again, the team was privileged to stand and share the gospel tracts to yet another city in Tanzania. Not only standing in locations but mostly walking around to reach where people are, in shops, on grounds where people sell their goods, in markets, buses and even residential houses with maximum care.

I thank the Lord for continued guidance and protection, it is amazing the way He brings people to take tracts. Places which you think there are few people suddenly people start coming from all directions.

 *DAY ONE-15 Mar 2026* 

Location: Nyegezi Main Bus Terminal

This is a fantastic location to share tracts. The bus terminal is used by passengers travelling to all those countries named above but also neighbouring regions of Mara, Simiyu, Geita, and Kagera.

We started very early in the morning in order to meet people who were leaving Mwanza to various destinations.

Reception was as usual, very high and mostly young people who frequent this terminal and even those travelling, they are mostly young people.

Around 12 Noon, the team left for Musoma Highway where there is another smaller bus terminal, Nyakato, where we were able to reach passengers going to various suburbs of Mwanza City as well as residents of Nyakato including Police community (My late father worked here back in early 1960s).

The team was also able to share tracts to nearby primary and secondary schools after school hours. Amazing to meet students because they always come in huge numbers fighting to get a tract or two.

Day one ended here late in the evening

 *DAY TWO-16 Mar 2026* 

Location: Soko Kuu la Mwanza (Mwanza’s Main Market)

Having travelled from Arusha the previous day fatigue caused to start the work a bit late, it was around 10am.

This market is located in Mwanza South, it serves smaller district markets within the city and therefore sharing tracts here makes it possible to reach all the districts and neighbourhoods of Mwanza City through the people who sell and buy goods here as well as those who drives passenger vehicles and trucks drivers who bring goods here including agricultural produces.

Again, amazing reception from the youth, a few of them grabbed tracts fom our hands and went deep in the market to help sharing. They will come again and this was the case all the time we spent there.

We happily left the location around 6pm after exhausting the tracts allocated for the location.

 *DAY THREE-17 Mar 2026*

Location:Kenyatta Street, Mwanza downtown

This is at the heart of the city of Mwanza.

We targeted middle class people, business men and women who come from all over the region but also neighbouring countries. There are many big hotels and government as well as private institutions of all kinds like pharmaceutical firms, Universities and Bugando Hospital and University. There are schools and fishing port at Mwaloni which is at the western end of Kenyatta Road.

Here we experienced a bit of rejection but it was like 3 out of 10. I think the Lord that we were able to finish the tracts for Mwanza City around 4pm and went back to rest ready to leave for Shinyanga.

As usual, I am attaching a few photos and videos from Mwanza City.

Kindly pray for Mwanza people following this successful tracts sharing. By the way, this is the fourth time since I first shared tracts here about 10 years ago.

Thank you very much for your continued support and prayers.

21-March-2026

Hello brother Brad 

This report is for Shinyanga, the city of diamonds.

Shinyanga is like a twin city with Mwanza, it took just a few hours to reach here from Mwanza.

I am grateful to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ for enabling the team to reach the fourth city out of ten planned to be visited.

 *DAY ONE-18 Mar 2026* 

Location: Shinyanga Garden

The team started sharing the tracts in the garden around 9am in the morning.

This garden is used by many people who come here for relaxation but also meetings of all kind are held here and the team came across two such meetings, one was a political meeting and the other was a family wedding meeting.

In both meetings the team shared hundreds of tracts but more people came as from around 1:30pm and by the time the team finished there were hundreds of people in the garden and many accepted tracts.

Reception was moderate throughout the day but a couple of thousand tracts were shared before the team returned to the lodge.

This was not the first time for gospel tracts to be shared in Shinyanga, comparing the current efforts reception with the previous ones is like this time was a bit higher, mostly young people.

 *DAY TWO-19 Mar 2026*

Location: Shinyanga Bus Terminal

This terminal is located in New Shinyanga but serves Old Shinyanga passengers too.

The team arrived before sunrise in order to be able to reach passengers leaving the city.

Later in the afternoon the number of people dropped but we were able to continue sharing to people passing through the terminal to other parts of Shinyanga.

The team worked in this location until around 5pm and went back to the lodge.

 *DAY THREE-20 Mar 2026*

Location: No specific location

In order to be able to reach many people in the city, the team decided to walk from the lodge to other parts of Shinyanga sharing tracts with the people we met, those in shops and businesses places, a small market and a bicycle and motorcycle taxi rank.

This ended the tracts sharing in Shinyanga and again, I thank the Lord for guidance and protection, for the few thousands whom He caused to accept tracts.

We pray and hope there are many of God’s elect in this city and surrounding smaller towns and villages too but in all things may the Lord’s will be done.

I have attached a few photos and a video clip.

Thank you and for 2026 Shinyanga tracts distribution…

Singida

25 March 2026

Hello brother Brad 

This time is Singida town report.

Singida is my home town, it used to be a very small town but now it has grown to be a big town, thanks to the positioning between two major highways one from Dar es Salaam the other from Arusha.

The population of Singida is about 500,000 with a median age of 16.8 years.

I thank our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ for taking the team halfway through. This is the 5th City of of 10 planned for this effort.

Singida, like Shinyanga, is not an easy town, it is scattered and if one has to share tracts here they have only two places, at the main bus terminal and the town market which is located at the town centre with a few streets around the Market and Old bus terminal.

 *DAY ONE-21 Mar 2026* 

Location: Singida town Main Market and sorounding streets

This was day one for Singida. The team arrived at the market very early in the morning in order to meet people who come to either sell but mostly buyers who come from different homes from the neighborhoods. 

Like Shinyanga, here it is not easy to have like a line of people passing, so the team walks extensively, at the gates, inside the market and streets around the Market.

There is also a town bus stop to drop and pick those who visit the market to various parts of Singida.

Reception was also moderate but the people were engaging, asking a few questions related to end times and condition of churches and congregations. 

 *DAY TWO-23 Mar 2026* 

Location: Singida Bus Terminal

The team came at this spot very early in the morning to catch passengers leaving the town, actually morning is the busiest here as well as the market the team shared yesterday.

Apart from standing at gates the team walked in and around the terminal including residential buildings (not knocking on people’s doors) where we met many people.

The only disadvantage of walking is to get tired but it really covers wide areas and meet people who hardly refuse to take a tract.

The team worked here the whole day, in the evening we met many many arrivals coming from other parts of the country.

 *DAY THREE-24 Mar 2026* 

Location: Not specific

We walked through neighborhoods like Utemini, Mughanga, Unyankindi and Sabasaba. This was very tiresome as these are far from each other but we were glad to do it for the people and it was joyous because they accepted tracts.

Thus ended Singida tracts distribution. It is always a joyous time to finish the work and pray and hope many of the dear people who receives tracts will be blessed by the Lord with understanding and obedience unto salvation.

Like Shinyanga, we also could not finish all the tracts for Singida, we pray the Lord to direct us especially to the remainder of the cities to share the good news.

I have attached a few photos too.

Kindly pray for the people of Singida.

29-March-2026

Hello Brothers and Sisters:

Blessed Lord’s Day 

This report is for two cities, Dodoma and Morogoro. 

I was not able to send any report due to phone malfunction.

Again, it’s a wonderful and joyous opportunity to be able to share the good news, especially at this time in the history of the world…a time when the world is at war unawares, a spiritual warfare…choking to read in social media on false teachings about the present war in Iran that it is a fulfilment of some prophecy and you know that cannot be except that there will be wars and rumours of war but we are not to be troubled

Matthew 24:6

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

All this underscores the importance of bringing the true gospel to the world, the world needs to hear the warnings, who knows?

 *City: DODOMA* 

Dates: March 24, 25 & 26

Locations: Soko Kuu Dodoma Main Market, Bunge la Tazania Parliament Road and Soko la Majengo Market

Dodoma is the Capital City of Tanzania

Population: About 800,000

Dodoma is the team’s sixth city to visit to share tracts. Sharing tracts in this city is like sharing tracts to the entire country, as well as the international community made of diplomats, international non governmental organisations, the UN Agencies and international business people.

Reception was very high at Dodoma Main Market unlike the other two locations. Actually a great amount of tracts shared in Dodoma were shared at this location.

The teams takes photos before starting sharing the gospel and so sometimes it appears as there are few people but as the day progresses one could see mass of people flowing in all directions.

The main market is a very special location. It has buyers and sellers from the entire Dodoma Region, there are thousands of primary and secondary school students who pass to and from school here, workers also pass here, open markets, street vendors. There is a garden and numerous bus stages. During rush hours, the team was able to share tracts even to those in cars.

A few young men helped alot here. They, like many others all over the places we visit, just grabbed tracts from our hands, others still went where we kept distribution bags and took bundles of 100 tracts and disappeared into the market. Some come back some don’t.

All in all I thank the Lord for the work in Dodoma.

I have attached photos and videos of the places we shared tracts in Dodoma City.

Prayers for the people who took tracts, their loved ones, that a tract be read by as many people as possible.

May God save the people of Dodoma.

 *City: MOROGORO* 

Population: About 600,000

Dates: March 27,28 & 29

Locations: Chief Kingalu Main Market, Msamvu Main Bus Terminal and Majengo Market.

Morogoro is just about 200 Kilometers from Dar es Salaam.

Morogoro is also a major route from Dar to Southern Afrika as well as Great lakes countries of East Africa.

I have shared tracts in this city for the fourth time now and in fact the best places to share tracts here are only two, Msamvu Bus Terminal and Majengo Market.

The team travelled from Dodoma in the night and arrived in Morogoro around 4am.

Started sharing tracts at Msamvu Bus Terminal at around 5:30am and never stopped till dark.

Amazing reception at Msamvu. Here we targeted departure and arrivals, it was so smooth because we had three phases…started by waiting at the entry gates and then phase two we went into the terminal itself and phase three worked around the terminal for passers-by…scores of sales people, young people helped sharing, especially to departing passengers…passing around we could see scores of people reading the tracts and a few asked where to get more materials and were able to show from the tract and that if there are any question I gave them my number.

The second day the team went to the Majengo Market, this is in the west north part of Morogoro, it serves the entire city and it is busy the whole day. There pick up and drop points for taxis including motorcycle taxis.

Morogoro is one of the cities included in rapid train project and between the Msamvu bus terminal and the SGR train station there are mini buses operating and the team was able to share hundreds of tracts along this route.

Day three we returned to Msamvu Bus Terminal to finish the few tracts left before leaving for Iringa.

Overall, Morogoro has been wonderful in terms of reception rate…very very few tracts are discarded in these cities…

As I write the team is on the way to the next city, Iringa before finishing with Njombe then Mbeya, to end this effort.

Kindly continue to pray for God’s work, that we get more and more strength and that His will be done and may there be many who will become saved.

For Dodoma and Morogoro cities..

5-April-2026

Hello brother Brad 

Blessed Lord’s Day 

This report is for Iringa City, Tanzania

I thank our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ for His traveling mercies from one city to another and now the team safely arrived in Iringa on 30 March from Morogoro.

The team rested on 31 March to regain strength before starting to share the gospel to the people of Iringa and surrounding areas.

The team started sharing the tracts on 1st of April, 2026.

 *City: IRINGA* 

Population: Approximately 300,000

Dates: 1st, 2nd and 3rd April 2026

 *Day One* 01 April 2026

Location: IRINGA MUNICIPAL MARKET

Market places are the best when it come to covering the city or town when sharing the gospel because almost everyone comes from a family.

Here you will meet poor people, young people who sell around the Market.

The team arrived very early in the morning and started to share the tracts to people.

Reception was very high here and scores of young people volunteered to share the gospel.

The team started by going into the market to meet those who sell from within the market, from shop to shop, table to table and that was just amazing to see almost everyone taking a tract.

The team also went around the market to meet passers-by, those who have shops as well as residences close to the market.

After a couple of hours the team decided to stand at three entry/exit gates to the market to meet new people apart from those who sell inside.

I had visited Iringa in the past and so this location was picked because we know it since previous trips that there are thousands of people around this location and as it was in the past reception was amazing too this time.

The team worked until 6pm when the market was closed for the day and we went back to our Lodge to prepare for the second day.

Thus ended day one in Iringa

 *Day Two* -2nd April

Location: Iringa Bus Terminal

This is one of the locations where one can meet thousands of travellers especially those going to rural Iringa. Actually there are twin bus terminals here, the one for out of region and the other for rural Iringa passengers.

Both are busy throughout the day.

The team arrived here around 6am in the morning, our Lodge is not far from here.

The team worked here till dark. It was so engaging especially because, unlike many other cities and locations, here people were calling us from the buses and because we were overwhelmed, many like bus conductors came and grabbed tracts from our hands and shared with their passengers inside their respective buses.

There were hundreds of students who were travelling to their homes for Easter holidays….it was just amazing to see thousands of tracts accepted.

Looking at some photos where William captured people reading the tracts gives assurance that the work is being done and so let’s pray that the Lord save as many as He pleases…

Day two ended around 5pm in the evening and we thank the Lord for continued strength. 

 *Day Three* -3rd April 2026

Location: Tanzania Revenue Authority Office-Iringa downtown 

This is downtown Iringa where you have all kinds of offices with thousands of people doing business, schools, universities and neighbourhoods.

Sharing tracts at this location is to target the working class as well as businessmen.

Reception was also amazing, no discarded tracts and that the team was also able to share tracts to those in traffic especially evening rush hours.

Thus ended Iringa City tracts distribution for 2026.

I am grateful to our Lord for this wonderful privilege to be able to travel and share with people the good news of the gospel.

Kindly pray for the people of Iringa for their salvation, pray that tracts will reach the rural areas and be read by many people.

I also thank you all for continued support for the work of the Lord and your prayers.

Some photos are attached at the end of this report.

10-April-2026

Hello brother Brad 

This report is for Njombe City

Once again I am grateful to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ for enabling the team to continue sharing the gospel in Tanzania.

Njombe was not in the plan to visit with the gospel tracts. The Lord put in our hearts to replace Tanga city with Njombe. It started as a discussion that ever since we started sharing the gospel in Tanzanian Cities we have never visited Njombe City. Njombe is a city off Dar-Iringa-Mbeya Highway. It is on the highway to Ruvuma Region South of Tanzania bordering Mozambique and Malawi.

This region as well as many others in the country receives alot of rain around this time and so it took us the whole day to travel from Iringa to Njombe and we arrived late in the evening of 4th April.

City: *NJOMBE* 

Population: 889,946

Dates:5th,6th and 7th April 2026

 *DAY ONE:* 5th April

Location-SOKO KUU NJOMBE MAIN MARKET

The team arrived at this location very early in the morning. We took positions a bit far fom each other but covered the main entrance/exit gate and slowly started to share tracts. At first there were very few people but this was expected because we arrived there before even the market was opened. Slowly the place was filled with hundreds of people coming from all directions of the city either to buy or sell at the market.

Reception was amazing, it was first time distribution and so almost everyone accepted a tract.

This market operates until 6pm, like many markets in the country. We worked here the whole day and what a joy it was to see hundreds of people accept tracts.

We also went inside the market to meet those who sell in the many shops and tables, it was so engaging that people were literally calling us to bring the tracts where they were selling.

Before leaving, we decided to stand along the Songea Highway and shared hundreds of tracts to passers-by especially school children, the police and military personnel until late in the evening when we left concluding day one.

Looking around I don’t remember to have seen a single discarded tract

Thus ended day one in Njombe

 *DAY TWO* -6th April

Location: Njombe Main Bus Terminal 

Day two started at the bus terminal. This terminal serves buses for Songea, to the boarder with Mozambique and Malawi in the south, Njombe rural areas as well as Dar es Salaam-Mbeya bound passengers.

This was another wonderful location and very engaging, we shared tracts to passengers in the buses, passengers entering in the terminal as well as to people who were passing along the main road.

Actually this is one of the locations where we shared thousands of tracts, just like in the main market on day one. Many bus operators, drivers and Conductors helped alot.

At one point we concentrated in sharing to people in the buses which were going to Njombe rural areas, big and small buses, there is also a taxi/motorcycle rank and super markets.

A few friends helped us something which is very common in all places where we share tracts.

One notable thing is that people don’t ask questions, as soon as they take a tract they start reading and some discovering it’s about the gospel they will carefully fold the tract and put it in their pockets or bags saying “I will read at home” others will come back asking tracts for “my wife, husband, sister, children” and so on.

The day ended around 6pm and happily returned to the lodge satisfied with what the Lord enabled us to do for the day.

Thus ended day two in Njombe

 *DAY THREE* -7th April

Day Three started a bit late around 8:30am because of rain. We did not pick any specific location this time but we walked through the city sharing tracts and it was just amazing.

We were walking handing tracts over to people who received with thanks saying “this is the word of God,we can not refuse it.” 

Njombe was just wonderful city, incredible reception mostly from young people who were about 9 out of 10. Again, almost no discarded tracts on sight considering the fact that Njombe is a very clean city.

We concluded our work for Njombe around 4pm and returned to the lodge ready for departure for our last city, Mbeya from where I am writing this report.

Njombe is one of those few cities I am convinced to return again another time to share the gospel tracts.

One notable thing is that in all these cities there is a hunger for the word of God and the more tracts are shared the fewer the questions because people do not want the modern day gospel in which miracles and “blessings” are preached. In fact many are tired of evangelists and preachers who sell “blessed water” or salt from dead sea or handkerchiefs claimed to have healing powers-false gospels. I believe God is working in the hearts of many people, opening their spiritual eyes and so we just have to continue sharing the gospel to the people.

Thank you for Njombe, please remember to pray for the people there, pray for the team too for more strength and guidance that the Lord may lead these efforts to places of His choice.

I have attached photos at the end of this report.

Hello brother Brad 

This report is for Mbeya City, the 10th and last city to be visited in this March-April 2026 gospel tracts distribution effort in Tanzania.

I can confidently say visiting these 10 Tanzanian Cities is like having reached the entire country. It is impossible to reach each and every city, town and village, but since people move from one place to another I believe that what has been done is what the Lord wanted us to do and that those who accepted tracts will go to various places around the country.

O praise the Lord for guidance, protection and bringing thousands upon thousands of people to receive tracts.

Think about all those people captured in photos, the Lord has put them under the hearing of the word of God, a prerequisite if any human being is to be saved as is clearly taught in Romans 10:17.

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Verse 17 of Roman 10 is a conclusion from previous verses like 13 to 15. A preacher in this case is the distribution team which is sent by faithful brothers and sisters from the United States of America for love of their neighbours in this part of the world.

[Editor’s note: this is in exact accord with God’s command in Deuteronomy 15:7-8

If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother: 8 But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.]

The team worked in Mbeya for four days from 9th to 12 April, a day more than other 9 cities because of sharing tracts which were not finished in Shinyanga and Singida. A good number of these tracts were also distributed in Njombe where reception, like in Mbeya and many other cities, was very high.

The team visited and shared thousand of tracts for the four days in the following areas:

1. Mbeya Central Bus Terminal

2. Mwanjelwa Bus Terminal 

3. SIDO Area

4. Mbeya Agha Khan Hospital

5. Usangu High School

6. Soko Matola

The team also walked into various neighbourhood sharing tracts with people we met. We were like petty traders but our merchandise is sold for free…

Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

Isaiah 55:1

Reception was just incredible, so many young people, including 7 year olds, taxi drivers, students, petty traders, nurses and doctors, the police, the military, tourists, etc etc.

Looking at the way people accept tracts, it is quite obvious something is happening, the enthusiasm, the seriousness of the people especially seeing them reading tracts, a few questions asked, plus many other good things, makes one think about the promises of God in our day, that right in front of us God is fulfilling His word through us.

It is a wonderful blessing from God that people can still cry to Him for mercy.

2 Corinthians 6:2

For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation

It is still the day of salvation and so we go into these cities fully confident that people are getting saved through these efforts.

The team rested on 14th and travelled back to Dar es Salaam on 15th April full of joy that we as individuals we were able to share the most precious news of our day – the gospel of Jesus Christ, the great God and ONLY Saviour this world has.

During the travels, I tried to talk to FM Radio Stations but their rates are very high compared to those in Uganda and Zambia.

I would like to thank you all for your finances and prayers for the team but most importantly for the work of our Lord.

Kindly continue to pray for the salvation of God’s elect, that His perfect will be done.

Thank you very much and May God richly bless His work.

Please pray that God might bless His Word to many hearts as He continues to seek out and save His elect during this time of Great Tribulation.

There are many worthy causes today asking for donations, but none hold a candle to the saving of a soul in from eternal death, and the probability of God saving through the proclamation of the true gospel using sources outside the churches has never been greater than in our day when we know that the visible return of Christ is imminent. We also know that Christ will not return until every last one of God’s elect has become saved, and the only means by which God saves is through the proclamation of the TRUE GOSPEL. The only ones qualified and mandated to proclaim the true gospel today are those of us who understand the True Gospel, that it is 100% by grace according to God’s timetable, and that salvation will continue right to the Last Day when we shall see Christ. The urgency to publish the true gospel has never been greater. May the LORD richly bless you as you pray for the work and consider what you can give to our LORD. Remember that Christ declared in Matthew 25 that as we share the gospel, which spiritually is equivalent to clothing the naked and visiting those who are in prison, we are ministering to Christ himself! 

Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

Romans 10:14-15 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
