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 high-
lands 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 coun-
sellor’s voices saying, “Let us see how the
Christadelphians bury their dead, we are not
burying his daughter due to their disobedi-
ence 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.
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,
SINZA | Bro Ayubu Suzi Kilumbi
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
