The Chimala Mission in Tanzania includes a school of preaching, hospital, primary and secondary schools, and evangelistic outreach programs. The Wagner family is seeking support as they commit to serve at the mission for three years, with Chad directing the mission and Rena volunteering at the hospital using her nursing experience, while home schooling their children. Support is needed both for one-time costs of relocating and monthly support of $25 per person or congregation.
