OUR SECOND EDITION NEWS LETTER APRIL 2013
Dear, Brothers and
Sister, may God the father and Jesus Christ our Lord give you, grace peace and
mercy. I give thanks to my God for you prayers; it is through your prayers
God’s work is thriving despite the challenges we are going through. As I came to
the end of April and look back to the Lord’s work done, I finally get convinced
to the very courageous word of Moses to Joshua by which He said; do not be
afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you, He will be
with you; He will neither fail you nor abandon you (Deuteronomy 31v8.) To God
let be the glory and Honour, let all His Creation that breath praise His
wonderful name, He is the mighty saviour, the provider and the city of refuge
wherever we go and whichever we do. He walked with Moses, then Joshua, and this
very Moment is walking with us, helping in our weakness and faults and make
things go straights forward. From the bottom of my heart and on behalf of the
Sunday school teacher’s team, helpers and my family, I would like to express my
sincerely thankful for every prayer made for supporting our mission to the boys
and girls right here in Tabora and make them go forth. It is our hope that you
will keep carry on pray for us until the job is get done. What is done in God’s
field through us is like a drop of water in an Ocean, probably People may think
that we have done amazing things but to us is like just as a very small
chunks of wood, there are so many
children by which are going astray every minute. Those whom we reached from
January to this very moment are small numbers; a big number is walking away
from God every moment. They are trapped with the precious materialism of this
world and it has been very difficult to bring them back. As we try to get them
back to God’s Kingdom, some may come for moment and then slip away. For they
love the darkness rather than the light. The evolution of youth culture by
which caused by the revolution of movie through DVD’s, VCDs, TVs, CDs, Mobile phones, MP3’s internets (face book,
and twitter) and other futile world’s stuff and plus wrong friends, all are
such worst virus attacked our generation, and have made them not to be tamed.
Thank God with us by the
following high light of work done right down
1. A
seminar done from 18th March – 7th April, 2013 in
Community and Congregational level
2. Primary
school and secondary School in March – April, 2013
3. Girls
Talks (in April)
Volunteer and Sunday school Seminars (Twice every
Month)
We want to thank God so much for Kelly and
Rosemary, both together have finished their few Months of working together with
us, Kelly is already back to England Rose is going for further studies, their
leaving has left us with need of two volunteer. We are so proud of their heart
of loving and serving children, otherwise Kelly was to stick teaching in
Secondary school and serving in dispensary by which were the specific missions
brought her in Tanzania. Pray that may God help to get two more volunteer to
refill the gape.
Pre session – children have a fun together; this
helped to get to know the children and strength friendship with children
This is a new class and a mission to a new
primary school, the school has almost 600 children, most of the children sit
down in session time (as you see from the photo) my heart is always filled with
pain as I see children sitting down, but what encouraging enough, children are
hungry with God’s word, from this situation they won’t see sitting down as a
problem case. But I always find myself very hurtfully. My Bible and all my teaching
stuff must set them down on the floor. As I get collected them back to my pack
bag after session I learnt everything is dirty, full of dusty. So I
often quizzed myself, how many
time does these children wash their school uniform per a week? I won’t wonder
when I find most of them are very dirty. A class that holds 45 children has
just five desks and at the Bible talk the class may have to hold 150 – 200
children, other children may have to stand in the entrance, others may have to
lean in windows out side. A few weeks ago the head teacher and I together we
were sharing some ideas and finally He said, Anglican Church and his school,
used to have a friendship and in those days the church used to help them with
some few helps but at the moment we lost our friendship, so the church is no
longer do something to our school. Can you imagine how much the word was
piercing and cut my soul?
Seminars in different
congregation before, in and after holy week, this is the result of building the sunday school teachers skills, through retreats, seminars,and cup of tea, for the purpose of strengthening, building relatioship, friendship and encourages others

Last Good News Club for Kelly a

OUR ENDINGS
There is so much godly work we
did in the past three Months, if they were all written down I suppose it would
be too much to read. The few the work we wrote down it is the testimony to the
many work we have done in the past three Months.
Our challenges;
1. Lack of
skilled Sunday school teachers
2. Lack of
skilled person in; sport, games, hand craft and other funny games
3. Lack of
enough funds to run our office
4. Good
transport – My motorcycle won’t accommodate to collect at once all Sunday
school teachers volunteer, in case of special function or going some where, or
other activities. This has been a great obstacles to me to do work at an
appropriately time, I learn every time get in un happy situation because of
transport limitation
