Like many young people from rural Tanzania, Joseph left his family home to find work. He settled in Arusha, six hours away, and took a job working in a home, earning less than $25 (U.S.) a month.

As quickly as money came in, he spent it on marijuana and alcohol. “The way I was living,” he recounted, “was not pleasing to God.” As he wrestled with the gap between his professed faith and his actions, Joseph began looking for a church to call home. “That’s where my journey started.”
