Musoma, Tanzania - 29 Nov 2014

On Saturday 29 November, the newly built Church in Musoma was dedicated, to the glory of God.

What an exciting day! Glory to God!

The celebration started a few kilometres away from the Church with a procession of the Church people and the band playing. The local town's people stopped what they were doing to see what was going on. Others joined in and followed the procession to the Church grounds. Hallelujah!

About 500 people attended the Celebration Day, including the District Commissioner, the Municipal Town Mayor, the Ward Executive Officer, Bishops, Pastors, Church leaders, and Jim and Debra from Australia.

Ps Daniel gave a wonderful speech of thanks for all that had been accomplished and Jim and Debra gave glory to God!

You will see from the photographs the wonderful building, inside and outside. Also on the property, there are two large water tanks which the local people are invited to drink from as well.

Ps Daniel and his wife Debra are doing a wonderful and faithful work as unto the Lord.

In 2007 Ps Daniel sowed (gave) 1,000 Tanzania shillings into Jim's ministry. Jim kept the exact note and returned it to Daniel on the day of the Church dedication!
