Tanzania howFar Pastor's Training Center and Bible College Update

In 2022, howFar Ministries, in partnership with the Baptist Churches of Tanzania, launched a Pastor's Training Center near Lossimingori, Tanzania. For us, it was the realization of a prayer that we first offered up as early as 2002, that God, through howFar Ministries, would allow us to train indigenous Maasai men who, in turn, would disciple, train and pastor their kinsman in rural churches.

Since then two classes of men have graduated from the training center and the third cohort will graduate in the summer of 2026.

Class of 2024

Class of 2026

Every man who attends our Pastors Training Center has, or will, go out and plant a new church. To date, 24 new churches have been planted and another 12 will begin in the summer of 2026.

No initiative we have launched has been as successful as this and we are praising God for its success.

"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work" 2 Timothy 3:15-16

Students attend the howFar Pastor's Training Center at no cost to them. Our generous sponsors ensure that they receive a thorough conservative education in a culture where it would be impossible for them to be able to afford it.

The cost to train one pastor, including classes, books, full room and board is $1200.

This year we are delighted to report that our sub Saharan, Africa team has baptized 136 new believers.

“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, 

baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 

and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. 

And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” 

Matthew 28:18-20

From Kenya to the heart of the Congo men, women and children are coming to Christ, being discipled, and being baptized.

Tanzania How Far Foundation Food Distribution

"Today we manage to distribute 30 bags of maize and seed to over 200 families. Each got a portion of 20 kgs of maize and 4 kgs of Aminika seed (maize seed). We had a little change that the church elders suggested that instead of buying beans let's use that funds to buy seed so when the plantation season comes they have quality seed to use. Apart from that we have agriculture officer who came to train them how to plant and use manure for better performance. It was a lovely day. And they said thank you for Christmas gift. It has meant a lot to us." Update from Emmanuel Lazier. 

Food insecurity in Tanzania has reached the "acute" level due to an ongoing drought.  The How Far Foundation recently sent funds to purchase food and seed for the most vulnerable families.

Rains have finally come to the area but it is too late for this year's planting season.

Pastor Emmanuel serves as the overseer of the howFar Ministries Churches of Tanzania and the howFar Ministries Bible College.
