Grace4Tanzania
A Special Visitor from Africa
Pastor Paulo Shanalingigwa from our sister church in Tanzania came to worship with us at Grace Lutheran Church on Saturday, February 2. A bell was given to him to bring back for one of the churches in Tanzania. Without the modern conveniences of electricity, a bell is a very effective way to call God's people to worship.
Grace4Tanzania
An outreach to Tanzania and beyond by collecting and sending bikes, clothes, and supplies overseas. We sense God's call to share our material abundance with churches in rural Tanzania and be blessed by the abundant faith of our brothers and sisters in Christ there. Grace4Tanzania is led by Grace member, Orinne Jones, and Paulo, our ministry partner in Tanzania. Currently we are gathering donations to fill a 40-foot shipping container and raising funds to cover the cost of shipping to Tanzania.

Grace4Tanzania Harvest Fest Silent Auction
