I was recently sharing with a friend a photo book Ruth put together showing highlights of our January-February, 2020, East Africa visit. Perhaps the peak of that trip was visiting Tanzania with Beth, meeting the Scripture Union leaders, being among the first to hold the newly published Swahili Forgiveness and Purity Curricula and then coaching a Training Team who conducted three Swahili VOICE Trainings while we were there.
BUT the Activity
Sheets were missing. They were printed in Kenya (as was the rest of
the curriculum), but a misunderstanding arose over the quoted price
and the price they were charging for those sheets. For some reason, still unknown to us, God
chose to say “no” to our request to reconcile the printer and
Scripture Union. Instead He chose to have them reprinted in Tanzania,
almost 1½ years later! Finally, those two Swahili VOICE Africa
curriculum packs are COMPLETE!! This print job alone involved nearly
2 million sheets of paper! THANKS FOR STANDING WITH US IN PRAYER during all these many months! THANKS TOO to those who gave toward this project.
Now the National Director of Scripture Union Tanzania, Stellah, and her team are faced with the huge job of correlating, counting and packaging them with the Teacher’s Manual and Visual Aid book. We have heard of one Youth Camp that will be teaching either or maybe both of the Forgiveness and/or Purity Module next month! Pray for promotion, training events, and sale of the curriculum so that many hundreds of Tanzanian children/youth might be taught godly values and introduced to the Savior. Pray also as Beth makes plans to Tanzania, possibly in the next couple of months to encourage the Scripture Union staff as well as check out the possibility for printing the Truth Module, which is already translated into Swahili.
