NEWS FROM TANZANIA
MBEYA | Bro James Mwangomo
Warmest greetings in our Christadelphian hope and the saving Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
All the members of my ecclesia are greeting CAT for the kind help towards the meeting. We are also very glad for the missing Bibles that you sent. Brother, don’t get tired with us whenever we request you. “A hand that gives is better than that which receives.” Again, thank you for your kind help.
MBEYA | Bro Edwaldi Mushi
Receive many greetings from us, your fellow Christians from the southern highlands of Tanzania. We have received the box of Swahili New Testament Bibles in good order.
What a joy, laughter and shoutings from the Brethren and Sisters when they saw them. We bowed, prayed and thanked God for enabling for them. I assure you they will be used as you intended.
MOROGORO | Bro Moses Ndaki
Thank you for your letter and the Gospel News you sent me. I hope you are doing well. I also thank you for your close friendship.
Since my conversion into the Christadelphian fellowship, after I learned the truth I have become an enemy of the Anglican church where I have been. Let me tell you what happened to my family.
On January 15th 2014 I lost my daughter, and leaders of the Anglican church came to see me and to observe what would follow for the burial service. I knew that, because my family are the Anglican subjects, they could bury my daughter. I heard one of the counsellor’s voices saying, “Let us see how the Christadelphians bury their dead, we are not burying his daughter due to their disobedience to God”. I summoned the Anglican church and told them that Christadelphian brothers and sisters from here and from neighbouring villages would do the work. At the burial there were many Brethren and Sisters from the nearby Ecclesias and the Anglican Church were mighty impressed at the care shown to each other by the Christadelphians.
SINZA | Bro Ayubu Suzi Kilumbi
I am very grateful since I put off my “old man” and then was clothed into Christ Jesus by baptism, twenty years ago. I then became a new man in Christ. My full instruction took five years under the instruction of Mrs Iris Cook, U.K. Also I cannot forget all who encouraged me during my Bible course. I was baptised and became a member of Dor Ecclesia and now Sinza Ecclesia. My family and I live about 18 kilometres from the City centre. As I belong to Christ Jesus I also manage to spread the Word to my neighbours, friends and near relatives, my family. As I am a teacher, I also teach a few of my students who are interested to understand the Bible. Some of them succeed and are now brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, including my wife, Anna. I am now nearly 60 years old, with three children, Winnie Ayubu (19), Nancy Ayubu (16) and Marilyn Ayubu (10 years old). My wife is 45 years old and became a Christadelphian fourteen years ago. Before that she was a Catholic. God willing my two daughters will become Christadelphians soon. Sometimes I face difficulties in this life as a retired teacher, but this situation cannot stop me spreading the Word of God to anyone who is interested to understand the Bible. It is the command of God and the Lord Jesus as well. No person or authority can stop us, see Mark 16:15-16; Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 5:27-30; Acts 4:19. The Bible tells us plainly that neither politics nor wealth can cure the problems of this world, but by obeying and believing what God promises us. Meanwhile we are waiting our Master’s call on his return. Brothers and sisters in Christ, wherever in this world of chaos, let us wait for our Master “…and a new heaven and a new earth…” who shall wipe away every tear from their eyes and death shall be no more. Neither shall there be mourning, no crying nor pain any more. The first things are passed away. He that sits upon the throne said: “Behold! I make all things new.” Let us wait continuously until He comes.

SINZA| Mr Matey Desdery
I am pleased to tell you that I am being instructed by Mr Ayubu Kilumbi and pray that once I have completed my studies I will be baptised.
We meet every Saturday evening and would like to receive any helpful literature you can send me.
