Kimazimachana, Tanzania
Kimazimachana is a Muslim village of 16,000 people. We met Pastor Amos Mdoe and he said he had 50 members in his Tanzania Assemblies of God (TAG) congregation. Pastor Amos and his wife greeted us warmly. Their house was next to the church and around the house they had planted pineapples on a large area of ground. The pastor's wife was very proud of her pineapple crop. She also baked 120 small loafs of bread which she sold at the village. They told us the people walk 1 ½ hours to a shallow well for dirty water that they still must boil before drinking. We found this pastor and his congregation to be a very industrious group. This well will provide water for the entire village.
This project was done in memory of Augusta Marsch, Jefferson City, Missouri by his wife, a special thanks as this project is a great blessing to Kimazimachana, Tanzania.

PrintBungu, Tanzania
This village of Bungu is a 2 hour drive south of Dar. We met Pastor Christian Mwinuka at his Tanzania Assemblies of God (TAG). He is a young unmarried man, new in the ministry. He said there were 5,000 people in the Muslim village and he had 15 members in his church. The people walk 2 hours to get water that still needs to be boiled before drinking. The well will be a great blessing to the village.
Special thanks to Grace Community Assemblies of God, Flower Mound, Texas, for making this blessing possible to the Bungu village.
Merya, Tanzania
The village of Merya is over an hours drive by very rough roads, from the closest larger town, Singida, where food supplies can be purchased. In visiting Merya, we found extreme poverty. There was a newly built Tanzania A/G church in the village, with the pastor's house next door. We were told that the pastor was not at home, but had gone to look for food for his family. The closest water supply is a two hour walk with buckets to get water from a dam, that only produces water during the rainy season. The District Supt who was with us, expressed how much the village of Merya needed a well so the people could get their water.
Tundwi Songani, Tanzania
Tundwi Songani is located 40 km south of Dar es Salaam, it is a village that a team from USA came in February and built a church. While there the village elders approached an requested two wells. There has been much disease, since their shallow well are not enclosed, they are very unsanitary. We were able to dig two shallow wells for the community: one will be at the church and other the Primary School.
Thanks Cornerstone Community Church in Manteca, California for partnering with us to provide water for these needy people!!
