For the successful Why Wait? monitoring trip to Kachindamoto, where we witnessed firsthand the program's powerful impact on students’ lives as they progress with Why Wait? lessons from primary school into secondary education. The teachers’ dedication, passion, and perseverance are helping shape a generation of young people who are equipped with values, wisdom, and hope for the future.
For the successful process of making Mbeya fertilizer with 2,168 gogos across all 13 villages. This initiative has strengthened communities and provided a sustainable way to enrich the soil for better harvests.

Chiefs were equipped through Level 3 of SAFE’s leadership training, strengthening their capacity to lead with wisdom and spiritual conviction. Also, for those who are attending the evangelism meetings in their communities.

Through their visits to three households, eight individuals were reached, and two joyfully received Jesus as Lord and Savior.

For the dedication of the Tithandizane Evangelism Team in Kachindamoto, whose faithful service and use of the Walking with Jesus film brought the Good News to Chikwilira Village -- a new community now reached with the Gospel.

This outpouring of faith is a powerful testimony of the Holy Spirit at work through the outreach. Thank you for Chief Chikwilira’s bold decision to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. His public testimony sets a powerful example of faith and leadership for the entire community.
