Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8, 2:42-47

1. The evangelical population grew from 2.4 million in 1990 to over 9 million in 2020, in mainline Churches (Lutheran, Anglican), in Pentecostal denominations and in African Initiated Churches. New church-planting agencies came about since the 1980s, as did partnerships between nationals and expatriate missionaries. Praise God that the commitment to plant new churches and to reach the unevangelized peoples of Tanzania bore good fruit in recent years among both animists and Muslims!

2. Tanzania's Christian population, though numerous, needs discipleship. More than half of Tanzanians might be "Christian", but church attendance runs around 8%. Many see lack of biblical knowledge as the greatest challenge for the Church. Pray that as immature Christians are discipled, lifestyles and worldviews will change, and this in turn will impact the social, economic and political life of the nation.

3. Tanzania's young population makes ministry to youth and children essential. Religious education in schools is an open door that requires trained instructors;

a. Pray that Christian teachers will have a big impact.

b. Pray that Scripture Union's Aid for AIDS programme will continue to educate and encourage young people toward pure lifestyles.

c. Pray that TAFES(IFES) groups will continue operating on 37 university and college campuses. Thank God that many students are being converted, including Muslims.
