In the latest attack, on March 12, the Pentecostal church in
Kyebitembe in the Kahororo ward of Bukoba municipality was set
alight.
Two days previously, a church in Kagondo ward was attacked and
intruders burnt Bibles, benches and robes. Earlier, a church in Rulongo-Kanazi
parish was set alight.
A Release contact says that a Christian man was recently killed
in a Pentecostal church in Bukoba, leaving a widow and two
children.
Please pray NOW for your brothers and sisters in northern Tanzania: that
God would keep them in perfect peace and that they would stand firm in their
faith; that God would comfort the family of the Christian killed in Bukoba; and
that those responsible for the attacks would be brought to
justice.
