At Mosaic International, our mission is simple but powerful, to serve those who serve. We are committed to equipping, encouraging, and empowering local Christian leaders who are making a lasting impact in their communities. This month, our team had the privilege of connecting with passionate youth leaders from across the Kilimanjaro region, men and women who are shaping the next generation of believers for Christ.

Strengthening Youth Leadership in Kilimanjaro

Youth leaders play a vital role in reaching and discipling the next generation. During our recent gathering, Mosaic International spent time encouraging and training youth ministry leaders representing thousands of young people throughout Tanzania.

Together, we prayed, shared meals, laughed, and engaged in deep conversations about the real challenges and opportunities facing youth ministry today. These leaders are on the front lines of helping young people live boldly for Jesus, and Mosaic International is honored to stand beside them.

We truly believe that the youth of Tanzania are rising strong for Christ, and investing in their leaders is one of the most strategic ways to see lasting transformation.

Leadership Training That Transforms Lives

Through Mosaic International’s ongoing leadership development programs, we provide pastors and ministry leaders with practical, Spirit-led, and contextual training.

One pastor recently shared:

“I’ve been to other formal classes before, but what stands out in Mosaic’s training is how contextualized and relevant it is to our real-life ministry settings.”

That feedback reflects what we strive for, training that is rooted in Scripture, led by the Spirit, and tailored to real-world ministry. Our approach helps leaders grow in confidence and effectiveness as they serve their local churches and communities.

Compassion in Action: Living Out God’s Love

At Mosaic International, leadership isn’t just about teaching, it’s about living the Gospel. Recently, one of our partner pastors reached out about a family whose child was hospitalized and in urgent need of help.

While we are careful to avoid creating dependency, we also stay sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s leading in moments when generosity can open doors for ministry. In this case, we were led to help, and later learned the family was Muslim, from Zanzibar.

After receiving both prayer and financial assistance, the child recovered and was discharged. The family was so moved by the compassion and care shown by Pastor Erasto and the local church that they now hope to visit Kahe to thank him in person. Their hearts are being drawn closer to Jesus, a beautiful example of how acts of kindness and generosity can open hearts to the Gospel.

Building a Stronger Future for the Church in Tanzania

Every week, Mosaic International continues to walk alongside pastors, youth leaders, and ministry workers across Tanzania. Our mission is to mobilize, equip, and encourage Christian leaders so that the message of Christ continues to spread,not just through words, but through lives transformed by love.

As we serve those who serve, we’re seeing firsthand how God uses humble, Spirit-led leadership to transform entire communities. From leadership development to acts of compassion, every moment reflects our calling to multiply impact through empowered leaders.

We are thankful for every partner, prayer, and supporter who makes this work possible. Together, we are shaping the next generation of Christian leadership, one life, one community, and one act of love at a time.

Key Leadership in Tanzania

At the heart of Mosaic International’s mission in East Africa are Francis and Vickie Njogu, our dedicated leaders in Tanzania. From the very beginning, they have played a central role in every outreach, VBS, seminar, and leadership initiative.

Francis and Vickie’s deep commitment to God’s calling is evident in how they serve both as leaders and as a family. Their passion for equipping others, mentoring youth, and strengthening local churches has brought hope and transformation to countless lives.

Under their leadership, Mosaic’s work in Tanzania continues to flourish, from empowering pastors through contextualized training to inspiring young people to live boldly for Christ. We are thrilled to see how God continues to use them to impact lives across East Africa and beyond.

“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” — 1 Peter 4:10
