The trip has been wonderful thus far. Tonight we had a special dinner with the board of Tanzania Assemblies of God....one of the women made African clothes for each of the team.....they are incredibly warm and special folks and extraordinarily grateful for the partnership with ICM. There is clear evidence that God is using ICM for this indigenous ministry; to reach their goal: TANZANIA FOR JESUS!!!" We hear this cheered at every church we visit. The team has connected extremely well and each are having a memorable time. We worshipped in a church of 1000 yesterday located in the slums of Dar Es Salaam...Manzese B Church. Our team participated in dedicating a medical clinic they are opening close by. All of the doctors and nurses are members of the church. The congregation is so proud and it was exactly what we long to see....the local church taking the initiative to impact their communities for Jesus Christ. Now we are off to Zanzibar.

The team arrived safe and sound in Tanzania! We were greeted warmly by our ministry partners and had had two incredibly full and rich days. Yesterday we had the joy of worshiping in two Spirit filled churches...the rhythmic music and synchronized dancing in praise to our Father was an experience we will never forget. The service was followed by a delicious feast prepared by the ladies of the congregation....we all enjoyed sampling Tanzanian "cake"...roasted goat! The joy of the Lord was evident on everyone's faces. It’s a gift to be here!

A team of 13 ICM Vision Trip travelers from all over the U.S. are on the verge of departure to the exotic African nation of Tanzania! We leave Tuesday August 25 and will arrive at the airport closest to Mt. Kilimanjaro, the continent's highest and most famous mountain. While we won't be scaling the heights of this dormant volcano, we do expect God to take us to grand spiritual heights as we get a bird's eye view of what He's doing in Tanzania. Our journey will take us to many rural churches deep in the villages of the African Bush. These churches were built through a ministry partnership with ICM. We expect our hearts will be touched as we see first hand how God is nurturing His flock in Africa. Later, we'll board a boat to cross a portion of the Indian Ocean headed for the ancient island of Zanzibar. With it's slave trade history and 90+ % Muslim population, Zanzibar is still home to 14 rural churches built in partnership with ICM. Our team will worship with the brothers and sisters on Zanzibar and witness the mighty work of God as He calls this island nation to Himself! Please pray for our team as we prepare for departure to Africa this Tuesday. We also invite you to return to this site for frequent updates as we get a glimpse of God's vision for Africa on this latest ICM Vision Trip!
