NEWS FROM TANZANIA

MUSOMA | Sis Monica Achieng

Tanzania is a wide country divided into five regions, (over three times bigger than England) and we thank God for caring for us on the long 18-hours bus journey to the joint Fraternal. There were five of us from Musoma and my two boys Cherlingstne and Kelvin.

I had to go on ahead of them two days earlier as I was one of the organizers. I spent the night sleeping in the coach as we arrived in the morning at 3am. The number of attendees was fantastic and all were accommodated in the 200 plus single beds and were provided with three big meals each day. There were our own youths plus others from Kenya and the UK, in all 75 youths and 56 elders. The youths had lots of things to participate in, whilst we elders had our general meetings in another hall.

One of the youths was satisfactorily examined and later baptized at Musoma. T-Shirts were provided with an attractive burning lamp design, printed by a UK Sister for the event.

We had a wonderful exhortation by Bro Macdonald (UK). The camp general theme was The Kingdom Of God On Earth. All were thrilled and upbuilt by this most encouraging spiritual gathering.
