girlsThe Lord now sends us forth with hands to serve and give,
To make of all the Earth, a better place to live.

The angels are not sent into our world of pain
To do what we were meant to do in Jesus’ Name.

It falls to you and me, and all who are set free.
Help us O Lord we pray, to do your will today.

Hymn 538, Enviado soy de Dios, in Evangelical Lutheran Worship, service book of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA)

Welcome to Christian Mission for Dodoma PDF Print E-mail

Christ commanded his followers to proclaim the Gospel and to improve the world around them: fostering justice, healing the sick, comforting the afflicted, feeding the hungry, etc.  Wherever Christians go, hospitals, schools, and economic improvement follow. This is building the Reign of God brick by brick.  As St. Francis of Assisi advised, "Proclaim the Gospel at all times.  Use words when necessary."

We are a not-for-profit 501(c)3 independent charitable organization working to improve conditions of people in the Dodoma region of Tanzania.  Our “mission” is not about winning these folks for Christ - as Dodoma Christians themselves are doing God’s work, spreading the Gospel, especially to people who have not yet heard it.  Our mission is to “come alongside” our brothers and sisters in Dodoma to make people aware of their work, and help them with their projects and efforts to make their world a better place to live.

We focus on the following:

  • Buying crafts and other products from artisans at fair prices and selling them in Western markets to generate profit to plow back into Dodoma communities.  Artisans are provided with "Western" markets so they can realize a greater economic benefit from their God-given talents.
  • By collecting and generating funds through sales, we can provide funds for community-improving projects in Dodoma. 
  • We also organize work-visit trips to bring Americans to Tanzania to visit fellow Christians in the Dodoma region, living with them and sharing lives at least briefly, as well as working on a service project that benefits the people.  We usually finish with a parks tour to experience Tanzania’s spectacular wildlife resources.  It helps people to understand and care about others when you get to know them.
