ADVANCE #3022267 - NEW CHURCHES CONSTRUCTION IN DAR ES SALAAM

Tanzania is an East Africa country which includes the island of Zanzibar and other off shore islands in Indian ocean and Dar es Salaam is the capital and the largest city of Tanzania close to Zanzibar. The country has about 45 million of people; about 1/4 of the population follow traditional religions. Islam and Christianity are the two big religions. Then, 60% of people live in poverty caused by lack of education. People need education and salvation to identify what they can do so that poverty, suffering, and the political situations can change and become positive. The church plays a big role for changing situations from worst to good, if people can really understand and accept to follow Jesus. Here and for the whole country is a thirst for God’s word and proliferation of religions and spiritual groups. Many people are lost and don’t know where to go, only having the church able to help people to reach their spiritual, physical and material needs. We bought 15 acres in Dar es Salaam 2 years ago and we need to build on the site a new church. A new place for the community to worship and meet their needs. Dar es Salaam has about 4 million people and it is located where the Tanzania United Methodist Church Headquarter is. We have 3 Dar es Salaam, United Methodist Churches planted that needs church buildings. Believers don’t have a church building for them to meet. They have to meet under trees and in individual homes which is not good according to the city where we are. This is why many believers don’t go to church. Dar es Salaam is a port, for the commercial and metropolitan city. Where business men and women from Central Austral, and Africa come for their businesses. Tourists also come from abroad to visit the animals and birds in different parks and then visit Kilimanjaro the highest mountain of Africa.
