(dar es sah-LAHM) – “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23 ESV). “We live and work among a people who know the value of a hard-earned wage. They also find joy and pleasure in receiving gifts. Tanzanians have a common proverb or saying that goes like this: ‘Guests are a blessing.’ Over the years, we have come to understand that the true meaning is this: ‘All guests bring with them some form of a gift.’ This summer, many guests will be coming to our city to share the good news of Jesus Christ. Please join our Dar Urban Team in praying for all those in Dar es Salaam who will hear the gospel. Pray that they will receive the free gift of salvation presented to them by our guests.” “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9 ESV).
