Making disciples, serving those in need, faithfully proclaiming the Word of God, and teaching others to do the same in Tanzania.

We invite you to partner with the International Ministry of Jesus to bring water and the good news of the gospel to the Maasai People of Tanzania.

IMOJ is providing ‘Orality Training’ for Maasai believers in partnership with Ethnos 360.

IMOJ is currently engaged in digging and repairing wells in Simanjiro Provence.

Overview of IMOJ ministry in Tanzania as of October 2025

IMOJ has been given land to develop around the wells and in Simanjiro Province.

IMOJ is launching a vital water project to bring clean, sustainable water to four Maasai villages at the base of Ol Doinyo Lengai—known as the “Mountain of God” in Tanzania.

IMOJ drilled the 4th well and dedicated it here in June 2024.

The Story of IMOJ Tanzania November 2022

Kati-Kati now has a water distribution center. They have heard the gospel and many responded after watching the Jesus film. A baptism was held in their village in March of 2023.

The first well and water distribution center was completed in December of 2022 in Sukuro. Hundreds of Maasia in this village received Christ after watching the Jesus the film.

Lamnyak shared the gospel and showed the Jesus film in this village and hundreds accepted Jesus! A team from IMOJ visited to teach and celebrate the baptism of many in this Maasai village.

Overview of IMOJ ministry in Tanzania as of October 2023

In May 2023, Lamnyak took a small group of Maasai believers with him to share the gospel and the Jesus film with an isolated Maasai tribe in the Serengeti dessert. The people responded and many received Jesus as their Lord and savior.

In September 2023, IMOJ drilled the 3rd well in Morawak village (Lamnyak’s home). The people in this village have seen the Jesus film and many responded in faith and were baptized.

Lamnyak shared the gospel with the people in this village and many responded. IMOJ drilled our 5th well here on June 14, 2024.

In June 2025, IMOJ successfully drilled our 7th water well in Lemooti, a village of over 12,000 Maasai.

In June 2026, IMOJ successfully drilled our 8th water well in the remote village of Narankawo.

We bring teams to tell the stories of the Bible to the Maasai using the orality method.

How You Can Help

The Bush Maasai of Tanzania have limited access to clean water, churches or schools. They need wells to provide drinkable water. Each well requires an elephant fence to protect it. The Maasai also need bibles and lay pastors to help teach and disciple them. The women and children need access to health care and education.

Make a General Donation

General funds will help provide the Jesus film, bibles, ministries to the Maasai women and children, and the needs of each water distribution center (generator, solar panels, elephant fence, water tower, etc…)

Sponser a Well

One well provides water for 2000 – 3000 Maasai who currently do not have access to clean water. The installation of a well is coupled with an evangelism campaign that includes showing the Jesus film, providing bibles and discipleship training. New believers will be invited to learn the stories of the Bible through the Orality Method of discipleship.

Support an Orality Training initiative

IMOJ is offering training in the Orality method of discipleship to new Maasai believers and leaders. Orality-based methods are amazingly effective for communicating scripture through the stories of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.  Various aspects of the spoken word, oral art forms and Bible storying are used to reach those who are illiterate or are oral learners by preference.

Jesus replied, “Anyone who drinks this water will soon become thirsty again. But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.” – John 4:13-14
