Eyes to See, Ears to Hear

We have officially accepted the assignment invitation from Tanzania. They asked Jonathan to be a full-time Vernacular Media Specialist (see article on front page of our website: www.jonathananddana.com for info on VMS) and asked Dana to fill a critical role as a full-time Accounting Manager. The branch there is very flexible so once Dana is there, if the accounting role doesn’t take a full 40 hours a week, she will be free to help the branch in other ways and/or help Jonathan with the VMS work. So we’ve accepted those roles realizing that God will use us in these and many other ways.

As far as a timeline, the orientation begins in August so we need to be at 100% support by June to have time to get our visas and plane tickets. We will have a month of orientation followed by 4 months of Swahili language school. By the end of 2007, we’ll be ready to jump into the work.
So, that’s a quick rundown of the basics. We’ll share more about Mbeya and what God is doing there as time goes on. We’re excited to see people get involved in this and jump on board! If you’re interested in partnering with us please visit the partner link on the home page of our website.
