Tanzania Partnership Weekend raised over $7,000

Bwana Yesu Asifiwe! Praise God!

A weekend of song, storytelling, service, and funds in celebration of our partnership with Tungamalenga Parish, Tanzania. During a quick 15 minute Tanzanian auction at the end of the morning, over $7,000 was raised to bring Pastor Naftal & Anjelina Ng'amillo (pictured left) here for a visit next fall.

Auctioned were some carved bowls, a hand-woven mat, and several opportunities for dinner with our guests.

What is a Tanzanian style auction? In Tungamalenga, the auction is an extension of the worship offering; people who have no cash bring humble offerings—eggs, firewood, baskets, clay pots--that are auctioned at extravagant prices. "In this way, we encourage one another and show that every gift is valued," our friends tell us.
