Our Father's Business, as Usual


The boy Jesus in the Temple, Luke 2:41-52

In this blog I write mostly about the WORK we do. If you'd like to know more about our LIFE here in Tanzania, see Paula's journal entry for July HERE.

We are back to "business as usual" here at Wittenberg Seminary. It has been about two weeks since our four Mission Helper guests departed for their homes in the U.S. It was a blessed and busy time (see the MHT 2024 blog HERE). Now we are back to our normal routine of seminary classes, Sunday school, and planning for future missionary visits in Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda.

When He was 12 years old, the boy Jesus was doing "His Father's business" as He asked and answered questions in the Jerusalem temple. In the same way our eight seminary students are doing their Father's business as they prepare for the public ministry. Our focus is especially on the four men who will graduate from Wittenberg Seminary at the end of November. They have four more months to study in the areas of Christian doctrine, preaching, teaching, congregational leadership and pastoral care. Please continue to pray for this work, where "business as usual" is, in fact, our Father's blessed business!
