NEWS FROM TANZANIA

MBEYA | Bro Ewaldi Mushi

I have received your great Mail Bag in which you enclosed books and very wonderful Bibles with commentary. We are so pleased and proud to have them. We use them in our evening Bible Class (in which I am the teacher), in our Church and in our Annual Camp meeting which has just ended and in which I was the main speaker. I found all attention to the topics: I could speak on all those subjects by standing on your shoulders, which has enabled me to know the real God. In Tanzania we are told that just immediately after death one goes to heaven (if he or she was a good Christian) or to hell (if bad) or to purgatory (if between). This lie has been preached for centuries and we are now uprooting it and people see the Truth in the Bibles you have sent to us.

“Is there life after death?”
“What is the correct baptism?”
“Is Jesus really God?”
“Why does God allow suffering?”

You asked me if we would like Swahili New Testament, with the comments. The answer is a big YES!

I have been very busy at work and home and been stressing a lot as Kevin, my son, was to go back to college. He is now on his way to college, which is his third year.

I thank God for his tender care to both of my sons and me, plus the ecclesia at large. The meeting is doing great and we are all thankful. Yesterday a very bad tragedy occurred and many people died - about 75 both young and old. There are more funerals here in town but we are glad that all our sisters and brothers relatives were not affected. This means that God is in control of his people.

We thank all brothers and sisters from all the world – through your praying we advance in reading the Word of God.

Also we send many thanks for sending us the Gospel News which encourages me and our ecclesia to know and to understand the Word of God. May God bless you and your way to reach the Kingdom of God to come on earth soon.

We should struggle to remain in Jesus Christ. The Bible says in Acts 15:20, “But that we write to them that they abstain from pollutions of idols, from sexual immorality, from things strangled and from blood.” So the Apostle Paul shows us the good way that we can follow in order to get life for ever when Jesus comes back to the earth.

And then Romans 16:25-26 says, “Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which was kept secret since the world began.”
