Tanzania and James - Pentecost 2010 Update
by James Hargrave (Posted 5/23/2010)

Dear Friends,Siku kuu njema! Blessed feast!And greetings once again from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. I have been here for a month now, and am beginning to settle into life and language.

by James Hargrave (Posted 3/5/2010)

Dear Friends,Safiri salama!This phrase, which translates into English from Swahili as "May you travel in peace", is what I ask each of you to pray on Wednesday, April 14th of this year 2010. That date is the answer to the question many of you have asked over these past two years-- a question that I've often asked myself. That is the date of my departure for Tanzania!Exactly one month before departure, on Sunday March 14th, I was commissioned to serve as a...

I am here at the Orthodox Christian Mission Center for the next several weeks until heading overseas.God willing, I hope to arrive in Tanzania in time to celebrate the Resurrection of Christ in early April.
