Support

Our goal is to partner with Tanzanians who are already working with Jesus to change their country. These partnerships are an exciting opportunity for anyone interested in engaging suffering in Africa. While you may not be able to go to Tanzania, your partnership with us is of the utmost importance. We cannot make it to or in Tanzania alone!

How can I get involved?

There are several ways you can partner with us in this mission.

Prayer Support

"And pray for us...that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ..." (Col. 4:3)

You can pray that

The Lord protects and preserves our team members and the mission.
We continue to grow in fellowship with other indigenous believers.
We stay focused on what God has called us to do.
We connect with key Tanzanian men and women who will reach and disciple others for Christ.

All contributions are tax-deductible and Vineyard Church of Columbus will issue a contribution statement/receipt for all donations.
