Three
churches have been set on fire within the last month in an area near Lake
Victoria in northern Tanzania. Thankfully no one was killed but there was substantial
damage to all the churches.
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.
