Faustin Bayo, pictured here wrapped in a shuka of his tribe, is a good friend and ministry partner. The Iraqw people populate much of this valley in which we have been holding our conferences. This apostolic leader has started 17 churches throughout the valley since he was called of the Lord. He also identified and raised up pastors who could help lead those 17 churches when he was away at Bible school.

It is the hope of AIM to be able to teach him how to train other leaders to do the same thing—leaders reproducing more leaders. . .who reproduce yet more leaders.

Bayo is strongly respected among these pastors and churches and has a natural leadership ability. We are praying that with God’s help Bayo will be able to create a network of such apostolic leaders that will connect the villages across the Dareda Valley, so that in time strongholds of Christianity will extend out to even wider regions of Tanzania, bringing repentance, freedom, and redemption of the people and of the land. Then we can anticipate seeing Tanzania flourish.

Bayo has been instrumental in the process of developing and translating material about the truth of God’s covenant for this conference. After much work, sweat, and tears (at times), our translated materials are finally ready for 150 pastors to arrive. We pray that these materials will provide them a strong, transformational resource both to use at this conference, but also to take home for application in their lives and ministries and for teaching among their congregations--for His Kingdom and His Glory!
