RIC MISSION IN TANZANIA
Rehoboth International Church’s successful expansion from Dayton, Ohio, to Tanzania has been marked by a transformative impact on the local community, blending spiritual growth with practical empowerment. The church’s leadership, driven by a vision of global outreach, recognized the need to extend its ministry to Tanzania, where faith, community development, and social support were key elements for uplifting lives.
Since its establishment in Tanzania, Rehoboth International Church has not only provided a platform for worship and spiritual growth but also spearheaded numerous community initiatives.
