My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Peace! Take heart!
I am bringing to you the Good news of great joy to all people, always, everywhere:
Jesus Christ is the Author of our salvation.
In the stable at Bethlehem He was born;
Upon the Cross on Calvary He shed his Precious Blood to pay for our salvation (Jn 19:30)
And His grave in the Jerusalem garden is empty,
For He is not there - He is risen (Mt 28:5-6)
And now ......He is always with us! (Mt 28:20)
So let us keep the feast ! (1Cor 5:7)
Let us rejoice in the Lord – always! (Phil 4:4)
Let us seek the things that are above !
Not those that are on earth. (Col 1:1,2)
May God bless you all – always!
In Him,
The Right Reverend Doctor Maternus K. Kapinga
Bishop of the Diocese of Ruvuma
The Anglican Church of Tanzania

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Well I know that you have been through hell with all the tensions of the Episcopal Gay Bishop Issues.
But you have kept the faith. so be faithful and as strong as a Lion of Judah and also humble as the Lamb of God.. witnessing!
There is a lot of vanity around ...keep praying.
The Lord's knows the way of the faithful and the way of the wicked will be disaster.
In His Name,
Blessings,
The Right Reverend Roger Chung Po Chuen
Bishop of the Diocese of Antsiranana
The Church of the Province of the Indian Ocean

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
How pleasant and what a surprise it was to receive a message from you, which deeply moved my heart. Thank you very much for you truly touched me by your love and good words which you emailed me using the Diocesan email address.
Since God sent me to this diocese, it has been so wonderful. My vision is to plant 20 churches this year. To be honest we could plant more than 20 churches a year if we could get more resources and people. For the next five years we are planning to plant over 100 churches. The church in Tanzania is growing and we are grateful that God has put in my heart the mission of Evangelism.
Please remember us in your prayers. This year has been very difficult, for people are starving because of the insufficient rains which we got this year. The The Government of Tanzania has been supporting us with maize (corn), but it is not sufficient.
I would like to hear more from you, and please give my love and regards to your family and to your church.
Sincerely in Christ,
The Right Reverend Sadock Makaya
Bishop of the Diocese of Tabora
The Anglican Church of Tanzania
