Many Tanzanian Christians in areas where they are in a minority are struggling. They are often pushed out of the work force due to their faith, living with trauma and under pressure from dominant religious systems.
Zanzibar, a collection of islands off Tanzania’s east coast, is one of the places where Christians are most marginalised. In this difficult environment, we will come alongside local Christians to help them flourish as followers of Jesus and to share God’s love with their neighbours.
Working with a team already in place, we will develop and deliver discipleship training for local Christians, assist in trauma healing and build unity across denominational divides.
Dave will help develop discipleship models to suit the specific needs of local Christians, especially believers from a majority- faith background. He will also support local churches from different denominations to break down barriers and work together to reach those around them with God’s love.
Tricia will help continually evaluate and improve the team’s work in order to make sure it’s as effective as possible. She will also train colleagues in collecting data and sharing stories that will inspire others to be part of this vital work among people at the edges.
Our story
We met at All Nations Christian College in 2010, having a shared heart for the global church and serving in mission. Two-years later we married, and have since been joined by our two wonderful boys.
Following Jesus led Dave to serving with the Anglican church for almost 15 years; he was ordained in 2023 and describes himself as a missionary priest! Tricia has worked for churches, NGOs and latterly has worked in research and evaluation with a global organisation. They previously served in mission elsewhere in Tanzania.
We have been asking God ‘what’s coming next?’ for a couple of years and are excited to see how he has brought things together for us to join his mission with Christians on the edge in coastal Tanzania.
