CHRIST TO THE CHILDREN

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 18^th March – 7^th 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 day before she left Tabora Friday 19^th, 2013, was hard time for the children and Kelly to say a word of Goodbye, I was encouraged with children to heard from them promising to pray continuously for Kelly (GNC LWANZARI)

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
