The Past Few Weeks
The past few weeks have been busy here in Tanzania. I (Nick) was invited to preach a week long Missions Emphasis at Assemblies of God Bible School in Dodoma. I had the opportunity to speak about the Tarafa Project. I was encouraged to see the positive response by the students. They were excited about the opportunity to encourage their own congregations to give toward missions projects. After Dodoma, we headed up to Mombasa for a short break. Kimbra's mother was in Kenya through the month of October,working with Breast Cancer Awareness. It was nice to relax, unwind and prepare for the coming months activities. We are grateful to finally have electricity again. After almost two solid months of power cuts, the electricity is staying on with some consistency. It is amazing how you can survive without power.
Please be in prayer with us for the coming months. We will be traveling quite a bit and are praying for protection on the roads. On Tues the 7th, we will be starting a small seminar that seeks to empower our pastors to live better lives. Kimbra's brother Kevin and his wife Miriam will be teaching a few of our keys leaders simple ways to improve their own lives and make roads into Muslim communities. We are believing that God can use these simple things to bring in a great harvest of souls.
The Tanzania field has stated a web site so you can become acquainted with the missionaries on the ground, and the ministries that they are involved in. Please visit us at fikiatanzania.squarespace.com to see how God is Reaching Out To Tanzania!

New spot....Same Family
Ever since April, our little sapce on the web has been, well....not so good. So we are trying a new address to gain back a little more control over our site. If you like our old picture, and miss our old postings, head on over to our OLD PLACE. That place was nice, and there are alot of good memeories there. But this to shall pass, and we hope to keep this one managed better. Here is a post we have been trying to get up for over several weeks now.......
Life Without Electricity

The mission field always offers fun and excitement. Right now, Tanzania is experiencing a small power dilemma….Ok..a huge power dilemma. For seven days a week, we only have electricity from 7pm to 7am. This power shortage is not only residential. The city water works has no power; neither does the factories that process natural gas for cooking. The gas thing wasn’t so bad until yesterday we realized that our gas had run out. Today I search all over the city trying to find gas, only to get the same answer…’Imeisha’ or ‘It finished!’ So until the city gets gas, Kimbra has to resort to cook on a small gas cylinder that we use to cook dog food. JOY!! At least we have something to cook on!
