Send Support

You may send your very welcome gifts and donations directly to Pastor Gervase Masanja using MoneyGram or Western Union. He feels that the postal system in Tanzania is not reliable enough.

Note: Paypal is not the best option as residents of Tanzania and some other countries are not allowed to receive money via PayPal. We have known Ruth for a number of years and trust her completely to forward the funds to us as pre-arranged. So if PayPal is your best option, you may send it to Ruth and she will forward it via MoneyGram. Please understand that she will have to take some of your gift for the fees.

Other Ways to Send Donations

There are other ways to send donations, but they have their drawbacks.

International Postal Mail

The postal system is quite unreliable, and Pastor Gervase does not recommend it, as it is commonly expected there, that postal workers steal from the mail. That may not always be true, but it is a risk.

Direct Bank Deposit

You could make a direct deposit into his bank account, but that proves to be very expensive internationally. Some banks discourage it completely.

This direct deposit method works for some. Use with care.
