Global Missions
Tanzania
The people of Tanzania in general are friendly and God-loving. This makes the country a wonderful and safe opportunity for evangelism. Small groups of members from Kensington Woods (KW) travel to Tanzania several times each year to work with local preachers and missionaries. Local Tanzanian church members support these efforts as translators, guides, and drivers.
Tanzanian culture is open to discussions about God and the Bible. This allows endless opportunities for Bible studies making it an ideal place to develop evangelism skills. For many first-time travelers, these trips are a life- and faith-changing experience. In addition, travelers can experience a different culture, enjoy new foods and see spectacular scenery. Tanzania has many national parks that are some of the best in all of Africa for viewing wildlife.
The involvement of Kensington Woods in Tanzania goes back several decades and includes establishing a school of preaching in the Arusha, Tanzania area. All three shepherds have made multiple trips. Currently, KW members have relatives serving as missionaries in the city of Moshi. A trip to Tanzania can fit within the budget of most people. If you are potentially interested in participating in a trip, don’t let cost, security, food or accommodation concerns talk you out of going. If you make a trip, you can be sure that you will be glad you did.
Honduras
The Lord gave a command to His disciples at the end of Matthew’s gospel. He told them to go into all the world and preach the gospel, making disciples. There are a lot of places in the world that still need to hear the gospel, and the country of Honduras is one of them. We have been working there for a number of years leading medical missions and campaigns to different native congregations to get the Lord’s name and goodness into that local community. We do this for free with doctors, medicine, and any other subsequent care that we can provide. Our end goal is for the person we meet is give them something greater than the medicine that they’ll take. We want them to become Disciples of Jesus also and make more disciples in their respective community (world). Every year we take a large group from the Kensington Woods Church of Christ along with other Christians throughout the United States as a concentrated effort of service and evangelism. The impact that mission work has made on our congregation is immeasurable and only Heaven will tell that story of the local church that we work with wherever we are doing it in Honduras. Come be a part of us and see what an impact that you can make!
