Church Planting
In Tanzania, life is simple. The people here have a true love for the Lord. The poverty of the people hinders the church leaders from providing a regular place of worship for the people.
Pastor Gervase Masanja is the leader of a large church group, that accounts for more than 20 communities and churches. They are praying so hard, believing God to provide the funds for their own church building and property.
To date, they have had to rely upon renting from the government, or erecting crude, temporary structures.

Sometimes a structure like this has to do for a village church.

Pentecostal Missionary Church Ministries in Tanzania, Africa is a fast growing denomination. We have planted many churches in Tanzania and beyond, many of our churches are still renting, meeting in school classrooms, or meeting in homes and under trees.
Our vision is to plant churches in every region, district, and ward of Tanzania, but also make sure we plant churches in every capital city of the African countries. Because places of meeting is becoming a big problem we are asking people of God here in Tanzania, and overseas, who have a heart and desire to serve God to help us with finances for building materials so that we can build churches every time we plant a new one. The average cost for building these small churches that can seat between 100-200 members is $10,000. If we could build five churches per year that would be good Progress towards fulfilling our Goals.
When you visit churches in rural villages, this is the cry of every PMC Pastor you speak to, not just here in Tanzania but also in Mozambiique, Malawi, Zambia, Burundi, Rwanda, and D.R Congo where our churches are. Next year we are planning to plant churches in Togo, Uganda, Kenya and Zimbabwe.
Please consider helping! Pray and ask God what He would have you do. If you want to support this church, you will find instructions on the
