Luke 10 Exploration Trip to Tanzania- How You Can be Praying

The fifth Luke 10 Exploration Trip in 2022 will be departing on September 12! There have been ten Luke 10 Exploration Trips to ten different country/people-group destinations being planned in 2022 as EFM discerns where new mission fields will be launched as part of EFM’s Five-Year Goal! Currently, it appears that 8 of the trips will be completed in 2022, with two of the trips being delayed to 2023. See more information at friendsmission.com/luke-10-trips.

The Luke 10 Exploration Trip to Tanzania travels September 12-22. Team Leaders Thayne Thompson (EFC-MAYM General Superintendent) and Brad Carpenter (EFM Missionary) will travel along with future missionary Thomas Moore (FSW connection to Friends) and Matt Macy (EFM) to Burundi, then travel on to Tanzania with four representatives of Burundian Friends: Domitien Sabongerwa (Burundi Missions Coordinator), Fidele Bizimana, Daniel Nkuriye, and Soloman Ntibaharire. Burundi Friends gave leadership to all of this planning with support of their new Legal Representative, Louis Pasteur. Appropriate contacts are being made to gain insights and explore collaboration with others working in the area.

Pray that EFM, EFC-MAYM, and Burundi leaders find common discernment and vision that leads to clear next steps in the exploration and decision making process of starting a new field in Tanzania. Pray that the Lord of the Harvest would raise up and cast out workers into the harvest fields of Tanzania from both the U.S. and Burundi. Pray that leaders and missionaries from Friends in both continents continue to develop an appropriate understanding of what a healthy partnership might look like for missions sending, and grow in faith and boldness as a sending church.

The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to cast out more workers into his fields.
