The group left Wayne on Aug.10.
Pastor Ruffcorn and Debbie returned Aug. 25 and the other three members of the party arrived back in Wayne on Sept. 1.
They traveled to Moshi, Tanzania, which is the city where the diocese office is located and stayed in the Uhura Hostel.
The group did a lot of touring with the diocese ministry sponsors and went to Our Savior's partner congregation in Kotela which is located on the lower slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro.
