Update on Tumaini Lutheran School

On December 5, 18 Secondary School student of Tumaini Lutheran School graduated from Form 4 (roughly equivalent to graduating from high school) and 8 Bible School students completed their studies to become an Evangelist (those who serve in a parish under a Pastor’s supervision to spread the Gospel). The graduation was able to take place in the nearly completed Assembly and Dining Hall! Hongera sana wanafunzi! Mugu aende pamoja nao!! Congratulations dear students! May God go with you!

A space that our friends in the Ulanga Kilombero Diocese can use for many purposes and also share with the broader community!

Thank you to everyone for their support of our partners in the UKD. Your prayers for the next steps these students will be taking is needed and appreciated.

Bwana Yesu Asifiwe! Praise be to Jesus Christ!
