COVID Relief for Tanzania

Grace and peace to you friends. 

Some of you may have been wondering about the situation being created by COVID-19 in Tanzania.  You know it is creating hard times all over the globe.  Travel and gathering restrictions are causing people not to be able to work, as people in America have become well familiar.  However, some countries are not set up as well for telecommuting and government aid.   Tanzania has had to essentially close its boarders and has prohibited all gatherings of more than 10 people.  The exception to this restriction at this point is for church services.  Churches are still allowed a one-hour gathering for worship only. 

Between the health care system of a developing nation, and the fragile economy that will suffer devastation from protective shutdowns, there are hard times coming for many of our Tanzanian brothers and sisters. Things are hard everywhere, so I won't request much from you today.  I'm asking you to consider a small additional gift of just $10 to buy food for some of the Tanzanian churches to distribute to needy individuals who have not been able to work due to COVID restrictions.  If 100 of you send $10, then we'll be able to buy $1,000 worth of basic foods to help keep meals on the table for these families.  Every penny collected in this drive will go towards relief for these congregations, whether we collect $100 or $10,000.   

You can make your donation HERE.

Thank you friend.  May God be with you.

Till all have heard,

Daniel Gaines
