news from tanzania

I would like to write so much and read but sometimes I do not do what I want to do because I live in an isolated area. In this camp there is no e-mail address or any electronics address except the network of the mobile phone, which I have no possibility of having or buying. I am a learner of the English language here. We are ten people who want to know more how to speak, read and write English very much and we request you to ask for someone or some groups or teachers who can send us books of English like the dictionary of English/French and the English correspondence course. We would be very grateful to know how to speak the English language.

In Tanzania only 20% understand English and 80% Swahili and so literature in Swahili is much appreciated.

LUGUFU 1
We thank our Heavenly Father that we had a nice time holding a Fraternal gathering at our Ecclesial hall attended by 43 (Christadelphians and individuals from the Pentecostal church and Seventh Day Adventist church) around God’s Word. The subjects and speakers were:
1. God and Death Anzuluni Makutano
2. Satan and Devil
Bro. Alexandre Lukye
3. The Kingdom of God on earth
Bro. Wabene Ikola
4. Christadelphian Marriage
Fungamali Bulukwe
It is a delight that our non-Christadelphian visitors have seen and understand how far they are astray from Bible Truth. Of course it is a thing for which we always give thanks to our Most High God for His great mercy in enabling you brethren from far and near to help us discover and understand the true hope of life eternal contained in the Bible. It is for that we are confident Christadelphians, so we make it our goal to please God until the return of the Lord. We send our sincere love and thanks particularly to brethren Tim Evans, S. Mike Harris, Ray J. Morse, Marcus Heaster, Steve Stewart, David Emerson, Ron Kidd, Chris Sales, Gordon MacFarlane and Sis. Jo Cottrell for their regular effort of strengthening us in the Truth. Also we thank members of Lugufu ecclesia for their contributions.

Here at Lugufu Camp we face more difficulties and trials. My thanks to our Brethren and Sisters worldwide who remember us in the Word of God, because when someone leaves his country for another country there are more difficulties to be faced. When I read Genesis ch. 39 - 40, I remember the moving story which we enjoy reading. Added to this, we are impressed with the faith and godly life of Joseph when faced with trials of life. His faith is clearly seen when he was about to die in Egypt (read Gen 50v24-26) For us, we pray that we might have this same faith in the Word of God that in all trials and difficulties we might pray to God in faith and God will save us and all trials will end when our Lord Jesus returns to set up the Kingdom of God on earth.

We are glad to send you our ecclesial hall photograph and the following news to print in the Gospel News magazine. We have constructed our hall but we lack paint for internal walls.

MBEYA
With sadness I report the falling asleep of our beloved Brother Kingdom Mwakiswalele. He is now asleep in our Lord Jesus waiting for the glorious resurrection at the second advent of our Master. God willing, I expect to have a trip to a friend in Malawi. I got some CDs for exhortations from GPL. Publications in Australia so I am going to listen to them there for my friend has a computer which is better than a DVD player. Christadelphians are the custodians of the whole truth found in the Word of God. I am very proud of it. Brother, here at our ecclesia we are badly in need of clothes. Would you kindly send some for us; we are thirteen members – three are sisters. I hope you will kindly consider our request, God willing. Lastly, but not least, I thank you for all the generous things you offer to us, plus the good job you are doing in His vineyard by enlightening the world through literature, books and other ways, may God bless you.

MUSOMA

I am very happy to read from Gospel News, the Musoma news which was so good and that a Brother from England, who I wrote to three years back could remember me and the names of the children. He managed to send me a letter again which I received today, and I will write back to him. My son Kevin passed his examinations and he is supposed to join secondary school this year. Musoma is doing well and they need six Bible reading planners please.

SONGEA
Ihave recieved four books recently sent to me. One book entitled “At last True Christianity” by Bro Alan Eyre has been donated to Tanzania National Library. The other three have been stocked in our Ecclesia Library at Ndrima-Litembo to which I serve as recording brother. May our Lord bless us. Bro. Brown Silwani

TABORA
Thanks a lot for the glasses to help withmy sight. When my friends heard that I had become a Christadelphian they showed great interest to getting a lot of information about us.
