Easter in Tanzania

Happy Easter from Food For His Children!


For God so loved the world that He sent His one and only Son, that who soever believes in Him may have eternal life.  -John 3:16

Our Christian brothers and sisters in Tanzania also celebrate this wonderful day.  There is a social as well as spiritual aspect to Easter in this East African country.  Easter for many families in Karatu is a winning sign because Jesus rose from dead so every individual takes this as a very special day.  Families gather together to sing traditional songs and dance traditional dances.  Churches are filled with people celebrating the sign of winning together and having their faith increased.  Families gather together to celebrate by singing traditional songs and dancing traditional dances.  Special dishes are prepared which may include dishes with meat, which is expensive and rare in this East African country.

FFHC is proud to be an organization that invests in the lives of those they serve and empowers them to use their skills and abilities to work together to lift themselves out of conditions of extreme poverty.  In doing so faith is strengthened as many see answers to their prayers through the gift of a goat.  For others, doors are opened for the gospel for the first time. 

This Easter as you gather with loved ones, remember those who Jesus also loves, and say a special prayer for them.  Tanzania is 9 hours ahead of US time so remember- they are dancing as you are sleeping!
