Bob and Joanne Tanzie (acct # 17481 )
On their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary, Bob and Joanne Tanzie went to Paris. Friends invited them to their home in Barcelona, Spain, and Bob and Joanne unexpectedly fell in love with the people and culture of Spain. Over the next five years, repeat visits impressed the deep spiritual lostness of the culture and the many needs of the church upon the Tanzies until God’s call could no longer be set aside.
God has equipped the Tanzies through decades of ministry in multi-racial congregations in Philadelphia, New York and Boston. Joanne comes to the team with a degree in biblical studies and a master’s in early childhood education with which she has taught special needs children. Bob is a graduate of Westminster Seminary, Philadelphia, where he focused on apologetics and also has undergraduate majors in European history and Bible.
In Spain, the Tanzies are planting churches, training national leaders and assisting in evangelism. Pray for Bob and Joanne that the Lord of the Church will use them and the Madrid Team to bring the good news of Jesus’ grace to the people of Spain.
