Tanzania Trip 2024

Greetings from Tanzania! Our journey began with excitement and anticipation as we embarked on our mission to explore this beautiful country and connect with its people. Departing from Minneapolis, our group embarked on a series of flights that bridged continents and cultures, bringing us closer to our destination.

The first leg of our journey took us from Minneapolis to Amsterdam, a nine-hour flight filled with movies, books, and lively conversations among our group members. A brief layover in Amsterdam allowed us to stretch our legs and prepare for the next leg of our adventure.

From Amsterdam, we boarded another nine-hour flight destined for the island of Zanzibar. The anticipation grew as we crossed vast distances over the Atlantic Ocean and the African continent. Upon arriving in Zanzibar, a short fifteen-minute flight brought us to Dar es Salaam, the bustling capital city of Tanzania.

At the airport in Dar es Salaam, we exchanged our US dollars for Tanzanian Shillings, readying ourselves for the local experience ahead. Our spirits soared as we were warmly greeted by Shedreck and Goodluck, our local drivers who, after packing us all tightly in our coaster bus, would safely navigate us through the vibrant streets of Dar es Salaam to our accommodation, The Wista's Inn.

Despite the exhaustion from travel, our hearts were filled with gratitude and excitement for the journey ahead. After a few hours of restful sleep, we rose early on Friday morning to enjoy a hearty breakfast, fueling ourselves for the next leg of our adventure.

Today marks the beginning of a ten-hour drive up the mountain roads to Iringa, and onwards to Mtera and Migoli. As we prepare to embark on this scenic route, surrounded by Tanzania’s breathtaking landscapes, we carry with us the love and support of our church community back home.

Please keep us in your prayers as we continue this journey of faith and exploration. Each step we take brings us closer to understanding the beauty of Tanzania and its people. We are humbled and grateful for this opportunity to serve and learn.

We should arrive in Iringa this (Friday) evening.

We love you all! Stay tuned!
