Tanzania Rohrs: Cool stories from the mission fields of Africa
Not too long ago, I shared the story of some dear friends of ours who were moving to Africa. Well, they’re there now (and very much missed here!) and they have been learning and experiencing some very cool new things. I am so excited to see how God is using the Rohrs family on this wonderful journey. Since Joe is a professional filmmaker, they are documenting their time in Africa with some great videos. Take a minute to check out what they’re doing! Tanzania Rohrs January 2014 from Joseph Rohrs on Vimeo. And for those who may be curious, the Rohrs family are proud Whovians. That would be why there…
