History of Tanzania United Methodist Church:
The United Methodist Church North Katanga Episcopal area under Bishop Ngoy Kimba Wakadilo from Democratic Republic of Congo initiated an Evangelism project in 1989 to develop the church in neighboring Tanzania. Six pastors including Rev. Mutwale Wa Mushidi were sent in 1992 with their families to minister in Tanzania. To this day, the mission has established 83 United Methodist Congregations. Throughout the church ministry in Tanzania, the mission has undergone a lot of difficulties related to financial shortages.
Greater New Jersey is now in covenant with the UMC of Tanzania, facilitating the Tanzania Pastor’s Leadership Development School and raising funds to construct other buildings at the Tanzania Hope Center, including a Health Clinic and an Orphanage with Primary and Secondary Schools! St. Andrew UMC is committed to continuing our financial support.
100% of your donations reach the project!
