Newsletter June 2011

Dear faithful praying friends, May/June 2011


As I write, I am getting ready to return to Tanzania after a busy, but rewarding 3 ½ month furlough. I have traveled over 8000 miles by car and have visited many of my supporting churches in Florida, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Louisiana, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and a few new churches. God has been so faithful to keep me safe as I traveled by car and one trip by plane to Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Thank you for your prayers!!! I will be leaving from Kansas City, Missouri on June 16 and traveling to Tanzania. Pray that my trip will be blessed and that I will arrive safely.

During my furlough, my twins graduated from Baptist Bible College Springfield. Nathan, my youngest son, received his B.A. in Missions and Bible, Megan received her B.A. in Missions and Bible with an Associate in Business, and my daughter in law, Tiffany, received her B.A. in Missions and Bible with a minor in Elem. Ed. I am so proud of them and pray that God will continue to bless them in their ministries in the future. Nathan and his wife, Tiffany, were approved as missionaries with the BBFI and have started their deputation for the field of Tanzania. To contact them for a meeting, call 804-370-1396 or visit their website Foltzwagen.com. Megan, my daughter, was married on May 14th to Jeff Jones, who is a youth pastor. She will be joining her husband for ministry in Arkansas as they serve the Lord together. I am pleased and blessed to have children who love the Lord and want to serve Him. 3 John says that “I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.” God is faithful!!

The ministries in Tanzania are gearing up for youth camp in June. We are having three youth camps back to back with a total of 1500 young people from high schools in Arusha/Moshi area, the central area around Morogoro, and from the capital city, Dar es Salaam. Pray that many young people will come to know that they need a Savior and that they will respond to the Gospel given at camp (pictured at right). Last year we saw 200 get saved at our December camps. This year we are having camps in June and December for unsaved highschoolers.

My car has arrived!! I thank the Lord for His provision of a newer (used) reconditioned vehicle for me. It was ordered from Japan just before the tsunami. It arrived safely at port in Dar es Salaam and was delivered by my teammates to Arusha. Thank you all for extra funds to pay for this “new” used vehicle! To God be the glory!!
