TANZANIA
Home to Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, Tanzania’s ecological significance cannot be overstated. Its wildlife preserves have become popular tourist destinations. Tanzania also benefits from a history of strong political leadership in an otherwise unstable region, making it attractive to investors and aid organizations. Today, over 150 indigenous ethnic groups live within its borders.
Evangelicalism is growing in the region and a strong church-planting movement is thriving. In fact, evangelicals have blossomed from just 2.5 million to 8 million in the last 20 years. Still, 25 people groups remain unreached in Tanzania, impacting over 9 million people.
e3 Partners is working to ensure that a thriving local church exists in every community throughout Tanzania. We are equipping existing believers and training local pastors to identify unreached communities and share the Gospel effectively. As people come to faith in Christ, we are establishing small groups that help them take the next steps in their spiritual growth and serve as the seeds for new churches.
