How do LCMS missionaries share the love of Christ in Tanzania? The Rev. Bryan and Deaconess Keah Payne (Theological Educator and Deaconess, Serving the Lord in Tanzania) join Sarah to talk about where they serve, their journey to the mission field, what has happened since our previous conversation with them in April 2025, how they are able to partner with the local church body in Tanzania, what theological education for pastors and deaconesses looks like in Tanzania, and their family life on the field.
