Nyashimo (also known as Kijiji Cha Nyashimo), Tanzania lies on the shores of Lake Victoria and is the district capital of Busega District, Simiyu Region. With a population of 15,000 people, it is also a fitting place for a growing church that is engaged in outreach and church planting.
The pastor of Nyashimo Baptist Church is a church planter with Nyashimo Baptist being his sixth church plant in a wide area around Mwanza. Qualified men, called upon to pastor these local congregations, lack biblical training and it is difficult or impossible for them to get a good Bible training education. TLI is able to bring relief to a dirge of training needs to help equip these pastors, and many more in the area, to be able to more adequately shepherd their churches.
