The Future
After extensive prayer and deliberation, I have decided that it would be best both for the people here at Msalato Theological College and the Diocese of Central Tanganyika and for me that I remain here for another semester beyond December 2008. It is clear that continued support of the information technology system here and the teaching staff at Msalato is needed. At the same time, I need some time to decide what God is calling me to do with my life. I have communicated with the Rev. David Copley, the Mission Personnel Officer of TEC, and he thinks that this is a good idea as well. My official term as a member of the Young Adult Service Corps will conclude in December 2008, which will be fourteen months after I began my service. I can return to Tanzania in January 2009 and serve for six months as a YASC participant. In order to do this, however, I must raise $3,750 more in support of the work I am doing here. The Mission Personnel Office of TEC will match those funds an then provide me with the same stipend and health insurance that I have been receiving all along. That money will also provide for a plane ticket for me to go from America in late January and returning again in July 2009.
I will be returning home in December 2008 shortly before Christmas and hope to return back to Tanzania in late January. This time period is very quiet in Tanzania because most people return to their villages to work on their shambas (farms). I hope to use my time back in the USA to share my experiences in Tanzania with those who have supported my ministry and others. Also, I hope to investigate possibilities for careers and other opportunities.
I am requesting your continued support for my ministry here. If you feel able to support the work I am doing here, please send a check to the Episcopal Diocese of West Virginia at PO Box 5400, Charleston, WV, 25361. Be sure to mention my name, Stephen Day, or Tanzania missionary in the memo or subject line.
