our EI Tanzania team

We're thankful for the EI team that is in Tanzania and is already welcoming us as part of the team through email and skype. They seem like a great team and we look forward to joining them. (You can meet some of the team members here)

EI Tanzania country directors, Andrew and Miriam Wingfield, recently gave this recommendation:

“From our first contact with the VanWoerden family, we recognised that they have a heart to serve local churches, equipping them to share the whole Gospel with their communities, addressing people’s physical, spiritual and emotional needs in an integrated way. This is something very close to our hearts too, and as EI’s work has developed here in Tanzania over recent years we sense God at work sharpening our focus to equip local churches to be effective agents of grassroots transformation. Andre and Alex’s backgrounds in natural resources management, business management and seminary, coupled with their experience serving with EI in Malawi provide an almost perfect fit for the needs we have in our small team right now. We look forward to seeing how God will use the gifts, skills and experience he has already given them, as well as developing new ones as they work alongside Tanzanian Christians and rural communities. On behalf of the EI Tanzania team, we are very excited to welcome them as part of our team here, and to learn together as we serve.”

The Monger family is part of the Tanzania team, but they recently moved from Iringa to begin a new work in Mwanza. It has been a blessing to be able to read their blog archives to learn about their experiences in Tanzania, which has been great for preparing us and getting us excited about joining the EI-TZ team.
