Approved!!

On Monday, July 2, I was informed by the Rev. David Copley that I had been formally invited to serve as a missionary in the Diocese of Central Tanganyika, in the Anglican Church of Tanzania. I have been invited by the Right Reverend Mdimi Mhogolo. I will serve on the staff at Msalato Theological College, which is located approximately ten kilometers south of Dodoma. My job will be to serve as system administrator for the computer network of approximately forty computers.

This news means that there is only one hurdle remaining before I can go to Tanzania – MONEY. I must raise $10,000, either in cash or in pledges, before I can leave. Letters are about to be sent out in my home diocese to seek support.

Within the next week I will be getting the immunizations I need and will order a copy of Rosetta Stone’s language training software for Swahili. Also, I am reading up on network administration and the Linux distribution used at the seminary (Edubuntu).

If you are interested in supporting this missionary work, there are three ways that you can help. First, pray – for me, my family, and the people of the Diocese of Central Tanganyika, whom I will be working with. Second, you can visit my website at http://stephencday.com/missionary.htm and donate to me directly via credit or debit card (thanks to PayPal). Finally, you can support this missionary work by sending a check with “Stephen Day – Missionary” in the memo line to the Episcopal Diocese of West Virginia (PO Box 5400, Charleston, WV, 25361).

Have a great day!!
