Generous donations from people just like you continue to create opportunities for life-changing ministry to take place throughout the country of Tanzania and the other seven countries located in the Spiritual Ring of Fire.
Would you like to volunteer your time or other resources to support the work of the many incredible ministries at the International Evangelism Centre? We can always use more people who feel called to link arms with us in this important work.
Do you want to give a good home, nutritious food, a proper education, and hope for the future to a young child in our orphanage? You may also choose to sponsor one of our Bible school students.
We love to host churches and groups to serve. We have several guest houses on the Sakila base.
Bible Students & Church Planting
Our International Evangelism Schools are training evangelists, pastors and teachers to share the redeeming message of Christ. Our schools are growing as God is calling many Africans from the 8 nations within the East African Spiritual Ring of Fire to serve Him in ministry.
Every year, new students travel from their respective countries in East Africa to the village of Sakila in Tanzania for training in the Word of God; their goal—to become evangelists, teachers, and pastors. Following graduation after six months of training school, the graduates return to their villages and cities to share the life-changing gospel message.
The lifestyle at the International Evangelism Centre (IEC) is rigorous, with few of the amenities that Westerners are accustomed to, but the graduates leave the school with a clear sense of the importance of the work ahead of them, well equipped to follow in the pattern of their Savior
We help 1000s of Children Find Education
This ministry was started in 2003 and educates children in the village. Each student has a sponsor in the U.S. that gives $30 a month for the child’s education. Two campuses have been built, Sluys-Anderson Primary School and Hebron Secondary School. Sluys-Anderson has grades kindergarten through 7th (there is no 8th grade in the Tanzania education system) and Hebron has forms (grades) 1-6 (equivalent to grades 9th -12th and two years of Community College). At any given time there are about 1,200 students going to school between the two campuses.
The schools together employee about 90 staff including principals, teachers, assistants and support staff. The salaries are based on education and experience. They range from top-tiered employees at $400 per month to teachers at $220 and support staff at $85 per month. This amount includes the employee’s retirement and taxes. The total cost to operate the two schools is $25,000 per month. $18,000 comes from supporters in the U.S. and the remaining $7,000 comes from boarding students at Hebron.
The first and second classes that graduated from form 6 and took their “National Exams” passed with a B+ average. The 37 students were all assigned universities (in Tanzania, the government chooses the university you will go to according to your grades and field of study) and have been registered. Consider this, if you had 100 village children, only about 10 of them would finish high school and only 5% of the nation has the opportunity to go to college. These 37 students have had their education paid for by the government. They plan to go into mathematics; statistics, pharmacy, education, aviation, teaching, medical work, law, political science, biology, chemistry, finance and etc. God has definitely blessed these students and performed real miracles in their lives.
