About Us
And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.”
– Mark 16:15-16
It’s hard to imagine a task more daunting than this one!
To go into all the world. That’s a tall order! But Jesus knew His message of hope and salvation would fill and overflow the hearts of people. It would spread from believer to believer and generation to generation. It could not be stopped.
The team at Into All The World has a desire to help spread the Good News of Jesus anyway we can. It’s a fire within our bones and must be declared to all the world!
How We Got Our Start
After hearing about the people of Tanzania from our dear friend, Mike Benson, Lana and I set out on a mission to see first-hand the welcoming spirit of the Tanzanian people. It took 36 hours to get from Henderson, TN, to Kisongo in Tanzania. Despite the long journey, it became one of the most rewarding experiences of our lives. We are excited to share the inspiring stories and amazing moments we encountered along the way!
We enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere at the Andrew Connally School of Preaching, where passionate staff and eager students captured our hearts. Their enthusiasm to learn was evident on their faces! We encountered ACSOP staff members who went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and loved. Our 35-year-old interpreter has become so close to our hearts that we now call him son, and he calls us mom and dad. We observed the Tanzanian people eager to learn the Bible, with over 28 individuals obeying the Gospel! We witnessed a new convert shed tears just by receiving a Bible as a gift. We observed the hearts of Muslims, Catholics, Pentecostals, Lutherans, and Seventh-day Adventists change when they learned the simple truth of Christ’s church. We experienced the warm hospitality of our Tanzanian hosts, who welcomed us into their homes to share a meal. And we heard some of the most beautiful singing, with hearts full of the joy of Christ. And, as a bonus during the final two days of our trip, we enjoyed an unforgettable safari, filled with beautiful landscapes and incredible wildlife!
You can expect to see more of God as He works through us to spread the Gospel and assist with the needs of the people in Tanzania. To God be the Glory!
