GLOBAL MISSION SUNDAY TO HIGHLIGHT EDUCATION AND SCHOLARSHIP NEEDS

“Education is better than money and everything.” says Mashipay Karash, student at MaaSae

Girls Lutheran Secondary School.

Mashipay pretty much represents the feeling of all of the students we have met over the years in Tanzania. Secondary school students realize education offers them an opportunity to be more than they ever dreamed possible. They appreciate this opportunity and work hard to succeed in secondary school so they might qualify to go on to a university.

Many individuals at Christ the King have known the joy of supporting a student, sometimes not only through secondary school, but also through university. Fadhili has visited his sponsors in Minnesota in conjunction with a United Nations sponsored visit to NYC. Beatrice, Nassaru and Lota visited with their sponsors on our recent mission trip to Tanzania. Naitoe, Mashipay, Neemah and Sindiyo, students at Maasae Girls, all met with the mission travelers. The students repeatedly gave thanks for the scholarship support they are receiving.

As a congregation Christ the King has committed to sponsoring 34 Tanzanian secondary school students each year. These young men and women attend MaaSae Girls Lutheran Secondary School, Moringe Sokoine Secondary School and several secondary schools in the Iringa Diocese through our companion congregation relationship.

You are invited to learn more about the education and scholarship needs of our brothers and sisters in Tanzania.
