OWT (Orphans & Widows of Tanzania) MINISTRY
Pictured at below are Pastor Osiana, his wife, Bahati, their 4 children plus some of the OWT Students sheltered by our sister church at ICH.
What Is O.W.T.?
~O.W.T. stands for “Orphans & Widows of Tanzania” which is a Ministry of Calvary Baptist Church in partnership with Ipogolo Baptist Church in Tanzania. The O.W.T. Ministry was begun in 2005 by Jackie Smiley. Bill & Pauline Eardensohn serve as Stateside Facilitators for O.W.T. All three are retired IMB Missionaries to Tanzania & former members of Calvary.
~Orphans who receive assistance through O.W.T. are former “street kids” who now live in a Children’s Home provided by Ipogolo Baptist Church. Pastor Osiana & his wife Bahati serve as the house parents.
~Funds donated through O.W.T. are used to provide for the physical and educational needs of the orphans. Calvary has budgeted support for the basic needs of the students sheltered at Ipogolo. Individuals, families, small groups & other churches are invited to contribute towards other needs (medical expenses, life start funds, tutoring, school supplies, etc.).
