Frank Karoli Balagaju

Frank is a wonderful man with a big heart for spreading the word of God. Frank grew up very poor living in Tanzania. As a teenager, he lived on the streets with no home, family support, nor ability to earn money. Pastor Umba met Frank and invited him to stay on the grounds of the Methodist Church in exchange for work. With determination and sheer willpower Frank graduated from high school at the age of 26!

A New Covenant family got to know Frank through their mission trips to Morogoro, Tanzania. This family supported him so that he could graduate from college in Tanzania.

He has graduated from Brite Seminary. He plans to move to Morogoro to minister to the Masaii people, open a girl’s boarding school, and plant churches after a year of fundraising in the United States.
