Tukuyu, Mbeya, Tanzania—Tanzania is a large and populous country in East Africa with 62% of its population identifying as Christian. We have 216 members in Tanzania, and as our membership grows, they are in need of a new church building.
The brethren have purchased a property and begun building the church foundation. For now, they gather under the trees or on the church foundation to pray and worship. With $2,000 we can help make their wish for a church become a reality!
Will you help?
