Profile of the companion synod relationship - 8F Delaware-Maryland Synod / Tanzania / Diocese in Mara Region (DMR)
|
| Our Role in Global Mission |
|
| Our relationship is composed of three components: wells, Bunda hospital and the Kiabakari Evangelist School. We have exchanged visits 4 times with our synod sending guests and 3 times hosting Tanzanian guests. |

| Component(s) of our relationship |
|
Wells project
We have financially supported the drilling of 9 wells in villages chosen by the Mara diocese leadership.
Bunda Hospital
We recently paid for an assessment by Project Cure to determine the kinds of medical supplies and equipment the hospital could use. In August of 2010 a container was received containing $300,000 worth of supplies.
Kiabakari Evangelist School
We are currently looking for a teacher for English to teach students at the school. This is important because evangelists continuing onto seminary need English-language fluency.
