CHURCH CONSTRUCTION PROJECT FOR KIRUMBA SEVENTHDAY

ADVENTIST CHURCH MWANZA-TANZANIA

 
BACKGROUND
 The Kirumba Seventh day Adventist Church is located in The South Nyanza Conference, near
Lake Victoria in Mwanza city northern Tanzania. The church was built  in the year 1965 with a
sitting capacity of 400. Being the first church to be built around here; it is recognized as the
mother church of all the 56 churches   in the city.
 Following completion of the old church at kirumba, members multiplied very fast above its
capacity forcing the church leadership at that time to open companies and later fully fledged
churches around the city until it reached the present number of 56 churches.
 REASONS FOR BUILDING A NEW CHURCH
 During and after that the population in Mwanza city grew larger every day. The church in its
mission to propagate the gospel conducted several crusades throughout the years and won souls
to Jesus thus making the membership at Kirumba church to grow from 100 in 1965 to 1,200 to
date. The church is now small and cannot accommodate all the members. Some members of the
church are forced to worship while standing outside the church building. During the rainy season
the situation is worse as it disrupts the divine service and impedes hearing as those standing
outside will run and squeeze inside to avoid the rain. Also children who always worship outside
the church are the most affected during both the rainy and dry seasons as they are forced to shift
from one place to another to avoid the scorching sun and the rain. We do not have a children’s
church.
 Due to this problem    the church members have embarked on a new church construction project
with a sitting capacity of 1,800. The project will cost $655,184.After completion of the building,
like adults, children will have their worship room too. The building will also accommodate an
Adventist Radio station, library, conference hall, and offices for various church officials, 
 This project started in the year 2008. We have managed to do the following; excavation,
leveling, mobilization of material like gravel, steel bars, cement,and sand; erection of several
concrete columns, and  construction of foundation. All these have cost the church about $87,500.
 SUMMARY OF THE BILL OF QUANTITIES
 The following is the summary of the estimated cost of construction of the church as seen in the
bill of quantities; ( all bills in US $)
 1. Substructure…………………………………………..99,800
 2 .Frames………………………………………………….132,300
 3. Stairs……………………………………………………..14,444

 TOTAL COST…………………………………………….$ 567,684
  CONCLUSION
 This is a big project which will take many years for the Kirumba SDA members to complete.
We as members of the church have contributed about $ 87,500 till now and we are still going on.
We want to see this project finished in the shortest period possible. We are therefore appealing to
all GOD fearing people around the world to donate to this important GOD’S work.
 When completed the church will accommodate 1,800 seated people. And our dear children will
worship under a roof without fear of the rain or the tropical sun.
 Many people will now come to church as there will be enough space to accommodate all
including those who were not coming to church due to the limited sitting capacity and non-
conducive environment of the old church.

Mradi wa Watoto Yatima na Watoto walio na
maisha magumu - Nsalaga

Historia na Chimbuko

Kituo cha Nsalaga kilianza mwaka 2006, baada ya kanisa kuona matatizo ya
watoto yatima na Watoto wenye maisha magumu (OVC) huko Mbeya. Familia
nyingi ni maskini sana zenye mtu mzima mmoja na watoto kadhaa. Baadhi ya
waangalizi ni wagonjwa au wana VVU na wanategemea sana msaada wa
watoto wao.

Tatizo kubwa lingine ni elimu. Katika shule ya msingi mahitaji mengi

yanahitajika (sare, vifaa). Malipo mengi ya ziada huongezwa; hasa katika darasa
la 7 masomo ya ziada ambayo ni muhimu kwa maandalizi ya mitihani na
matokeo bora. Watunzaji hawana chanzo maalumu cha kipato – hivyo,
wanafanya biashara ndogo ndogo ili wapate pesa. Ndiyo maana, mradi huu
unasaidia familia hizi kwa kulipa ada za shule, vifaa vya shule na sare.
 Kituo kinapatikana Nsalaga, Uyole, ambapo kanisa lina ardhi kubwa. Watoto
wanakaa na walezi wao na wanatembelewa na wanaojitolea kila mwezi. Kila
Jumamosi kuna program kituoni, ambapo watoto hupata msaada wa
kisaikolojia, chakula, masomo ya ziada na wanafundishwa Biblia.

Mwaka 2014, vituo viwili vilifunguliwa, maeneo ya vijijini mkoani Mbeya

ambayo ni Ilindi na Chunya. Watoto hupata msaada sawa na watoto wa
Nsalaga, lakini hukutana mara mbili kwa mwezi kwa sababu wanaishi mbali.

Mradi upo chini ya idara ya wanawake na watoto na ulianza na watoto 45. Kwa
sasa jumla ya watoto wapatao 350 wanasaidiwa katika maeneo matatu yote.
Tangu kituo kianzishwe, zaidi ya watoto 568 wamesaidiwa.

Malengo
Lengo kuu ni kuboresha maisha ya watoto yatima na watoto walio na mazingira
magumu. Matokeo ya baadaye, tunataka kuhakikisha

1.  kwamba mahitaji ya elimu ya msingi na ya sekondari yanapatikana, ni

uwekezaji muhimu kwa kutimiza ndoto za watoto
2. kwamba kuna muda wa kutosha wa kutoa ushauri na msaada wa
kisaikolojia katika jamii
3. kwamba watoto watapata huduma za msingi za kiafya.
4. kwamba kituo kinakua na kuendesha shughuli kadhaa wakati wa mchana
kwa wiki
5. kwamba suala la maambukizi ya VVU / UKIMWI linatibiwa
6. kwamba watoto wanapata mafunzo ya ujuzi wa maisha

Kutokana na malengo hapo juu yanapelekea shughuli zifuatazo:

 a. Elimu

 Kutoa msaada wa kutosha kwa elimu ya msingi na ya sekondari, na

mafunzo ya ufundi kwa kusaidia ada, sare, na vifaa vya shule.
 Kuinua ufaulu wa kitaaluma wa wanafunzi, yaani kwa kutoa masomo ya
ziada shuleni kwa darasa la 7, kidato cha  2 na  cha 4 na kwa kuwapa mazoezi
ya kufanya.
  b. Ushauri na msaada wa kisaikolojia katika jamii

 Kuhakikisha kwamba kila mtoto angalau kwa mwezi anatembelewa

nyumbani na mtu anayejitolea anayeishi karibu.
 Kuhakikisha kwamba ushauri unatolewa kituoni, kwa kuweka masaa ya
ushauri
 Kutoa msaada wa kisaikolojia kupitia shughuli na mbinu rafiki (kwa
mfano, masomo ya Biblia, klabu ya watoto, kazi zinazohusu kumbukumbu,
usimulizi wa hadithi, haki za watoto na unyanyasaji wa watoto.

 c. Afya

 Kutoa chakula chenye lishe na maji safi siku ambazo kituo kinafunguliwa
 Usajili wa watoto wote katika CHF (bima ya afya)
 Uchunguzi wa mara kwa mara wa afya za watoto hapo kituoni (2-3 kwa
mwaka)
 Kuwafundisha watoto usafi na kuwapa vitendea kazi muhimu

 d. Shughuli baada ya vipindi vya darasani

 Michezo
 Uchoraji, uimbaji, na maigizo

 e. Maambukizi ya VVU / UKIMWI

 Kutoa ushauri nasaha na upimaji  VVU kwa watoto

 Kuelimisha njia za kuzuia maambukizi ya VVU / UKIMWI kupitia elimu ya
kijinsia na kuelimisha juu ya unyanyasaji wa kijinsia kwa vijana

 f. Mafunzo ya stadi za maisha

 Kufundisha kuhusu unyanyasaji wa watoto na haki za watoto

 kufundisha kuhusu shughuli za kuzalisha kipato kama vile upandaji,
kulima bustani, kufuga kuku, ufugaji na ujasiriamali

Lengo la kituo hiki ni kuwasaidia watoto wajitegemee hapo baadaye kwa

kupata elimu na kujifunza kuhusu stadi za maisha vituoni.
Kama ilivyoelezwa katika historia ya mradi, kanisa lilichukua hatua ya kusaidia
watoto wenye mahitaji makubwa. Kuhusiana na hali ya baadaye ya Nsalaga
ndani ya kanisa hali inaonekana kuimarisha kituo na kupanua huduma na
shughuli zake. Hii itakuwa sambamba na shughuli za kuzalisha kipato Nsagala.

Uendelevu
Elimu

Kuna maeneo mbali mbali ambayo kazi endelevu zimefanyika. Kadiri bajeti
inavyoruhusu, wanafunzi wote wanapokea msaada kwa ajili ya shule. Kabla au
muda mfupi baada ya mwanzo wa mwaka mpya wa masomo au muhula,
wanafunzi wanaohitaji msaada, wanawasilisha mahitaji yao kwa kiongozi au
mmoja wa wanaojitolea. Watoto wanasaidiwa kuanzia shule ya msingi hadi
Chuo Kikuu. Wanafunzi wasiofaulu mitihani yao wanaweza kufanya mafunzo
ya miaka 2 katika vituo vya mafunzo ya ufundi kama vile MVTC, VETA, Kakozi.
Hii itawawezesha kuanza biashara mapema na kujitegemea wakiwa watu
wazima. Wakiweza kujitunza wenyewe, itakuwa faida kwa jamii.

Afya na Chakula

Mradi unahakikisha kwamba watoto wanaosaidiwa wanapata chakula

wanapokuja vituoni. Chakula chao kinazalishwa katika Nsalaga, kinachopandwa
na kuvunwa na watoto wa kituo hicho. Chakula kinaandaliwa na watoto
wenyewe. Hivyo, wanajifunza ujuzi wa maisha.

Watoto hupewa mahitaji ya kupeleka nyumbani; kama vile mchele, sabuni,

sukari, chumvi, miswaki, dawa za meno n.k. Familia zinazoongozwa na watoto
wanapata msaada zaidi. Hii ni muhimu kwa sababu wasingekuwa na chakula
cha kutosha, ingeathiri uwezo wao wa kujifunza vizuri.

Msaada wa kisaikolojia

Watoto wanapata fursa ya kubadilishana mawazo juu ya jitihada

wanazozifanya wanapokutana kituoni au wakati watu wanaojitolea
wanapofanya ziara za nyumbani. Watoto wanaohudhuria vituoni hupokea
mafunzo stadi ya maisha, mafundisho ya Biblia na kupata fursa ya kukutana. Hii
huwasaidia kujiamini, kutoa maamuzi sahihi na kujitegemea.
 Wafadhili
Wafadhili wakuu ni:

 Washarika  ndani ya jimbo

 Waumini nje ya Kanisa la Moravian
 Rafiki wa kanisa kutoka nje ya nchi: Mission 21, kanisa mji wa
Muehlacker, HMH

Wanufaika
Kundi lengwa ni watoto walio na mazingira magumu zaidi. Wengi wao ni
yatima; watoto waliopoteza mzazi mmoja au wawili. Baadhi ya watoto wanaishi
na mmoja wa wazazi (katika kesi nyingi wanaishi na mama), babu na bibi (mara
nyingi pamoja na bibi) au ndugu kama vile shangazi au wajomba. Wachache
wanaoishi wenyewe pamoja na kaka zao na dada zao.

Pia, waangalizi wao watafaidika na msaada kuhusiana na matunzo na, baadaye,

kutoka Elimu ya Sekondari ya mtoto. Kwa muda mrefu, jamii nzima itafaidika.

What is GCP?
Global Commission Partners is a non-profit missionary organization that is taking the
Gospel to unreached people groups by supporting local/native missionaries. In this way,
GCP aims to reach the least evangelized people in the world in the most cost-effective way
possible.

Why Unreached People Groups?

GCP works exclusively with unreached people groups because we believe that only after
they are reached will the task of the Great Commission be finished.

In Matthew 24:14, Jesus said, “And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached into all
the world as a testimony unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” The word “nations”
here does not refer to countries. In the original Greek, the word is “etnos”, meaning ethno-
linguistic groups, or people groups. There are over 200 countries in the world, but more than
10,000 people; 4,000+ of which are considered unreached. These people groups have
virtually no access to the Gospel; they have practically no churches nearby, no believers,
and no bibles in their language.

Why Native Ministries?

GCP supports native missionaries because we believe they are the most cost-effective
missionary force today. The missionaries serving with these ministries know the local
languages, are intimately acquainted with the culture, can’t be deported, and can be
financially supported with a fraction of what it costs to support a western missionary.

This is What Makes GCP Different

The number one problem in fulfilling the Great Commission is that the western Church
continues to invest most of its resources in areas where there is a strong presence of the
Gospel. As a result, this hinders the Good News from reaching those who have never heard
it. By partnering with native missionaries and working exclusively among unreached people
groups, GCP ensures our donors that their resources are being used as effectively as
possible.

Our Mission
Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached into all the
world as a testimony unto all nations (ethos: ethnic groups); and then shall the end come.”
Matthew 24:14. Global Commission Partners considers this to be the priority in terms of
world evangelization. Therefore, we seek to finish the task the Lord entrusted to us, His
church.

Our President
“The Founder and President of Global Commission Partners is Axel Lanausse, one of the
foremost authorities and advocates of native missions. Axel has extensive experience in both
business and missions. Before being called to full-time mission work, Axel operated A.
Lanausse & Company, Inc., an oil tanker representative for major oil companies. Over the
past 20 years, Axel has led missionary organizations that span the globe, providing support
for hundreds of missionaries on every continent except Australia and Antarctica. Mr.
Lanausse holds a BA in Literature from the University of Washington and a Masters in
Biblical Studies from Luther Rice University. Axel and his wife Rute have two sons, Paulo
and Daniel.”

What we believe has a profound impact on everything we do, both as individuals and as
part of the Church. That is why it is imperative that we have sound biblical doctrine as
our base to fulfill the Great Commission of our Lord Jesus.

God
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 3:16–17, John 1:1-2, Acts 2:32–33

Jesus
In the deity of Jesus Christ; His virgin birth; His substitutionary death; His bodily
resurrection; His ascension to the Father and His imminent return in power and glory.
Colossians 2:9, Luke 1:30-35, 1 Corinthians 15:3-8, 2 Corinthians 5:21

Holy Spirit
That the Holy Spirit indwells in all true believers and enables them to live a holy life in
order to be a witness for the Lord Jesus Christ.
Acts 2:38, Ephesians 1:13-14

Bible
That the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God and the supreme authority in all matters
of faith and conduct.
2 Timothy 3:16-17

Salvation
That by man’s disobeying God, all humanity incurred in spiritual and physical death. That
the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins and that all who believe in Him are declared
righteous before God, apart from works.
John 3:16, Ephesians 2:8-9, Acts 2:38

Heaven and Hell

In the bodily resurrection of those justified in Jesus Christ and everlasting punishment of
those who have rejected God’s grace in His Son.
Acts 1:10-11, Romans 2:6-8, Daniel 12:2, 1 Corinthians 6:14

The Church
That the church is the body Christ composed of all true believers empowered by the Holy
Spirit to be a witness to all nations.
1 Corinthians 12:27, Ephesians 4:4

Prayer
PRAY FOR THE UNREACHED!
"When we depend upon organizations, we get what organizations can do; when we rely upon
education, we get what education can do; when we rely upon eloquence, we get what eloquence
can do. And so on. But when we rely upon prayer, we get what God can do."

  - A. C. Dixon
Every single believer can get involved in missions through prayer. In Matthew 28:19 and 20,
Jesus gives the Great Commission, telling us to go into “all the world and make disciples of all
nations." In Matthew 14:14 he also tells us that only after we fulfill this mission will the end will
come! Global Commission Partners believes that one of the ways we are expected to fulfill this
task is through intercessory prayer. Prayer has and will continue to be instrumental in reaching
the unreached people groups of the world and God wants you to pray for them!

In order to equip you, we have curated some of the best global prayer resources available. We
hope they will help you pray regularly for the nations of the world!
