TANZANIA TRACT DISTRIBUTION

This is my final report for the current tracts distribution efforts in Tanzania.
 
It has taken more than 10 days to be able to share about 70,000 Kiswahili and 29,000 tracts in the City of Dar es Salaam.
I had targeted the JPM Bus Terminal in Mbezi,Dar es Salaam with the hope tracts will reach upcountry and neighboring countries.
A total of six volunteers were involved including myself but a few times like the last three days,it was only the three of us.
 
The overall reception was just amazingly very high,so many requested more tracts to share with their loved ones and it was indeed a pleasure to be able to talk to some of the people,i remember one person came to me saying he had read the tract,understood it very well and asked for more tracts for others where he was going.Some bus conductors and drivers also helped us by taking tracts to share with their passengers because we were not allowed into the Bus Terminal by the authorities and so we thank the Lord Jesus for making it possible even where there were restrictions.
Yet in other places we were not allowed to take photos as we wished,like military schools and sometimes even in the streets where people would tell us in advance that they do not want to be photographed.
The other challenge we faced was distribution of English Tracts,we had to visit about 10 Secondary Schools because that is where you can find English speakers.Some times we will share just about 10 tracts for the entire morning or evening.We had to distribute at one school during the morning when students are arriving and go to another in the afternoon to meet the departing.
 
Extremely few tracts were discarded.
 
The reason we were able to share this big number of tracts is that these efforts were full day efforts,about 8 hours/day of standing and walking around the place. It is a really exhausting activity but we thank the Lord Jesus for strength and sometimes we get motivation from events like people literally scrambling to get a tract and end up being surrounded by many people,or when some ask a question or even when we see people sitting down reading the tract.
 
What more can we say,we thank the Lord Jesus for allowing sinful men like me to dare share the gospel being unworthy as we are.We can only hope and pray for as many as received tracts and loved ones at home get saved.
We also thank you all for the funds,patience and prayers for us and equally important, that our gracious Lord Jesus Christ bless the work in the hearts and minds of the people who have read the gospel tracts to heed the warning especially those still in the churches and congregations.
 
I have attached photos taken from various places including a few schools.I have kept about 1000 English tracts to be in my car so that i can share them to people in places i go like offices.
 
Thank you again and may the Lord Jesus richly bless you all
 
Until another time,

Greetings on this Lord's Day

This was our third full day of tracts distribution at the JPM Bust Terminal here in Dar es Salaam.

In terms of numbers this was the most engaging day so far.Four distributors were involved and our strategy was to move around the place where we were able to share tracts in the departing/arriving city buses which feeds upcountry buses inside the Terminal.Reception was very high so much that we could not even break for lunch. 
 
A gentleman approached me with a tract he picked earlier and told me that from the time he got it he sat somewhere and after reading he said that he understood it and therefore asked for more for him to share with others where he was going.I gave him about 15 tracts and he left very much delighted.
 
We were able to share approximately 25,000 Kiswahili and 5,000 English tracts.Being a Kiswahili country many people will return the English tract and ask for the Kiswahili ones and so my strategy for English tracts is to visit Secondary Schools and Colleges where English is medium of instructions.
 
Please find a few attached photos we were able to take.
 
We thank the Lord Jesus Christ for every thing,we pray that many will become saved through this efforts.
 
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek"
 
Romans 2:16
 
Thank you all and may the Lord richly bless you

Brother Brad
I thank God now that I have completed the treatment since last Friday, I feel fully recovered and recuperated. 
 In view,I am excited to let you know that in about two hours, me and two volunteers will be starting the 100,000 tracts distribution here in Dar es Salaam.We will be doing the distribution at the JPM Bus Terminal.
The plan is to get there early enough (5am) to catch buses leaving the city for upcountry and possibly neighbouring countries in the sub region.
 We request for your prayers and hope our Lord will bless the efforts in the hearts of as many as receive the tracts and their loved ones.
 I will be sending daily reports through email
 Brother Mutale
 
This is my first report for the August 2021 tracts distribution efforts. 
As we all remember, i had requested to print 100,000 tracts for Dar es Salaam distribution focusing on the JPM Bus Terminal which serves passengers travelling upcountry as well as neighboring countries in the East Africa sub-region.Out of 100,000 tracts,70,000 were printed in Kiswahili language and the remaining 30,000 in English.
We (me and two volunteers) had planned to start the distribution day before yesterday,17 August but as we were on our way,one of the volunteers received a call that his mother had just passed away.We therefore had to cancel the efforts and went to join other family members at the deceased home for burial arrangements which went well.
On 18 August,by the grace of our Lord Jesus,me and the second volunteer were blessed to start the distribution efforts at the Bust Terminal.We left home with about 20,000 tracts (15,000 Kiswahili and 5,000 English) but looking at the area,one can share more than 20,000 tracts in a single day.There are four groups of people in the area,first group is for those leaving the city for upcountry/neighboring countries,second group is comprised of those coming into the city,third includes those going/coming from various workplaces and the fourth group is made up of vendors who come to sell different kind of commodities in and around the bust terminal.
We thank the Lord that our first day experience was joyous in that we were able to share about 17,000 tracts.We finished all 15,000 Kiswahili tracts but about 3,000 English tracts remained by the time we left for home late in the afternoon.
I have attached photos which show the area (including city bus terminal) as well as the two of us standing sharing the tracts.Actually,more than five distributors can position themselves in the area and share the gospel to our fellow human beings without duplicating the efforts.Each time a person extend their hands to receive a tract brought joy in our hearts but much more desire that s/he is among God's elect. 
A lady was selling just a few metres from where i was standing refused the tract the first time but after like an hour she called me for her copy.This reminded me of the two thieves who were crucified along side the Lord Jesus (Mt 27:38,44) both reviled the Lord at first but the one on the right had his eyes opened and he prayed that Jesus should remember him on that day (Lk 23:42).Of course, God had to draw him to Jesus because left to ourselves we can ONLY revile the Precious Savior (Jn 6:44)
We are going back to the Bust Terminal in few hours from now,we hope and pray that the Lord Jesus will grant us His favor and give us strength and desire to share the gospel.
Thank you all for your continued prayers
"And he said to Jesus,Lord,remember me when You come in Your Kingdom" (Lk 23:42)

And if any car stop then I also gave those in the copies of the tracts. few people did not take copies of the tracts. But majority collected copies to read. even, some of the people collected extra copies to give to their friends and relative at their destination. 
When I was passing out the tracts, those walking on the road side came to me, and collected copies to read.

Those we approached, no one rejected the tracts. I give all the praise
to God.

Tract distribution in Old Tafo and Amakom

Toady, the Lord God allowed us to pass out the tracts at the main
entrance of Okomfo Anokye Teaching Hospital at Bantama, Kumasi. This
hospital is the second biggest hospital in Ghana. And each day,
thousands of patients visited the hospital for treatment, and other
people also visit their friends and relatives admitted the hospital.

I arrived at the hospital around 8:00 am, and finished sharing the
tracts around 12:00 pm. I enjoed passing out the tracts because the
reception was very good. When I was passing the tracts, those who can
not read, I mean those who do not write or read, and Jehovah Wittiness
did not collect copies to read. All what I can say is that, the
reception was good. Attached are few photos we took during the tracts
sharing.

Tract distribution in Tanoso, Kumasi.

Today, the Lord God directed me and my son to share the tracts at main
street in the town called Tanoso, in Kumasi.

The reception was very good. My son stood on the side of the street
and I also passed out the tracts to those in the cars from
Sofoline-Kwadado to Abuakwa, Sefwi and Sunyani direction. In all we
passed out almost 2,000 tracts.

To God be all the glory.
Here are another photos. Thousands of cars uses this street, or road
each day, because this road leads to Brong Ahafo and Sefwi Area in the
Western Region. And there are many big towns and villages on his road.
Each mini bus which reach where I stand, 5 to 10 tracts goes to the
people, and private cars 3 to 4 tracts goes to the people in that car.
Even, those who walked on the side are many. Today is Sunday, so most
of them were returned from church serve, and we also give them the
tracts to read.
