Mission Hills Church, we are pleased to bring you an update on the progress of Kanisa la Biblia, the church plant you support in Ruvuma, Tanzania. The church plant is based in a village with a context of extreme poverty.
Thanks to your gift, the new church will be equipped with a worship hall, offices, seven classrooms, a kitchen, and restrooms. The church team and the community are looking forward to the finished construction.

Background
The mother church has partnered with Compassion Tanzania since 2018 and has impacted many children and their families. As the church began outreach in a new community, people responded to the message of salvation and the church plant was born. The new church is the result of Compassion’s strategy to expand into remote areas and release more children from poverty in Jesus’ name.
When the construction is complete, Kanisa la Biblia will be fully equipped to provide Compassion’s holistic child development program.
