The Grace Institute

This group is led by Tanzania facilitator called Loema John. These students, along with hundreds of more, recently finished their first course (Kingdom, Covenants, and Canon of the Old Testament). Here’s a testimony from one of the students:

“Praise the Lord Jesus!

My name is Jacob M. Ara, and I am a student in the TGI class at the Gawal Center.

I thank God for His grace, protection, and the many blessings He has given us throughout the time we have been studying the courses on The Kingdom of God, the Covenants, and the Old Testament Books.

I especially want to thank The Grace Institute (TGI), and I also thank our facilitator, Loema. Through these studies, I have experienced a significant change in my understanding.

I have come to realize that God’s purpose in creating Adam and placing him in the Garden of Eden was to establish His Kingdom on the earth. Although Adam failed to be a faithful steward, God preserved His purpose so that it would not be changed. In His perfect plan, Jesus came in the fullness of time to accomplish that purpose. Therefore, God’s purpose never changes.”

This week, Patrick is making a trip to visit groups to encourage them, deliver new study guides, and provide Bibles to the students who don’t own one.

The group in these pictures is led by our facilitator, Asanas. She’s doing a great job!

Pictures tell a story, and this one is no exception.

Here stands the Freedom Facilitators in Tanzania. They were selected to work for TGI after this past Freedom Fest.

The two men in the middle are Joseph Lacha and Wade Hooper. Lacha is TGI’s country coordinator in TZ.

Wade Hooper is a pastor from Rainbow Presbyterian Church in Gadsden, Alabama. For years he has been faithfully teaching and taking teams to TZ. Wade was the one who reached out and communicated the need for ongoing education.

Although he couldn’t attend the Freedom Fest which produced all of these facilitators, he is now standing in the midst of the fruit that the Lord produced through his diligent labor. These men and women represent hundreds and hundreds of Tanzanians that are now receiving ongoing Biblical education.

Thanks Wade for your resolve for Gods Kingdom even during various trials.

A group of men from Grace Evangelical Church Grace Evan Missions, led by Steve Smith, lead groups of men at the Salvation Army Memphis through TGI’s Basics of the Christian Life. Today, Steve was busy recruiting new volunteers to help this important effort.

Freedom class happening today in Karuguuza, Uganda.

Many have asked where the groups are located in Tanzania. I hope this helps.

The ongoing, sustainable work of Biblical education has officially begun in Tanzania.

This week, Blaze was presented to multiple church planting networks in the UK. Thanks for the work you’re doing through the UK Partnership.
