Pastor's Letter: Tanzania (TZ-451)

Whenever we're assigned a new correspondent, we're sent a pastor's letter! I like sharing them here both as a record and for others to read. Enjoy!

This letter is from Elinami's project! And the photos are from Compassion's Tanzania Northern Region page.

Dear Eric and Hannah,

My name is Pastor Warier M. M. from PK Church. We host the [TZ-451] CDC attended by Elinami. Our goal is to release children from economic, physical, social and spiritual poverty in Jesus' name. Right now 210 children attend our Center.


I am so grateful, proud and appreciative for your sponsorship of Elinami. The parents of the children and the whole Karansi society are so glad and thank you. Thanks to sponsors like you, our Center children are provided with school fees, medical treatment, school materials and other facilities. Please pray for our children to excel in their schooling.

We are so joyous because the youth from poor environments have been improved. And through our parents' seminar for entrepreneurship, most of the family's lives have improved as well. We thank God that now there is remarkable progress in the children's lives. We are meeting Compassion's mission statement of releasing children from poverty in Jesus' name.


Most people in our community deal with low-producing livestock. They need much more education to change their mindset and lifestyle for their future. They fail economically because droughts cause their cattle to die of hunger and they lose their harvest. To deal with this hardship, we have been teaching the parents to follow the season calendar and encourage them to carry out irrigation plans where possible.

Most of the secondary school students have improved in their English speaking skills by reading letters from their sponsors. They are so ready to reply in English. All of the children love to receive letters from their sponsors. Letters let them feel loved and valued. Please write to Elinami as much as you can.


Thank you for the support you are providing to Elinami. We are praying for you and your country. May God bless you.

In Him,
Pastor Warier M. M.

If you would like to sponsor a child from Tanzania, please consider little Mesia who attends TZ-451 with Elinami! Mesia is 4 and her birthday is December 14.


Mesia lives with her father and her mother. At home, duties include carrying water. Her father is sometimes employed as a farmer and her mother is sometimes employed as a farmer.

Playing group games is Mesia's favorite activity. In kindergarten her performance is average and she also regularly attends church activities. To sponsor Mesia, click here.
