Christopher Ayo – Tanzania

Area Director

Chris heard about Jesus for the first time at the mine where he worked when a man shared the gospel to the workers during the day. At first, Chris was not interested, but then a fight broke out at the mine and the evangelist helped him get to safety. He invited Chris to a church meeting, where Chris heard the words, “Come now, Jesus is calling you.” This process of considering Jesus continued, and soon after, in 2008, Chris became a follower of Jesus Christ at Young Life camp. His Young Life leader maintained a friendship with him and helped him grow in his relationship with Jesus. After high school, Chris became a volunteer, and he eventually joined staff in Arusha. He has recently moved to Tanga, where he is leading the ministry.
