Sister Church & School in Tumaini
ℹ️ About mission work: God is already there. So why do we go? (click to open)
We believe God is already present in the world, so for us, mission is about joining God’s work, not imposing something new. Jesus’ saving work has been fully accomplished on the cross. So, we love, serve, and give freely in response to the profound love, grace, and forgiveness we have received.
This reorientation changes our entire approach. We bring our genuine selves without any strings attached and without claiming to have all the answers, creating space for sincere connections and meeting real-world needs, recognizing that God is God and we are not.
This is the greatest leap of faith possible: believing wholeheartedly the Gospel good news alone, and the authentic love and service inspired by it, can truly change hearts and lives. Saving is Jesus’ work. In response, serving is ours.
Tanzania is home to our sister/partner Lutheran church and the Tumaini Lutheran School that St. Luke has
supported. Pastor Moses leads a group of churches there.
In recent years, in communication through Pastor Moses about the needs of the school, St. Luke has sponsored a library, a laboratory, the purchase of school books, a 3,500 linear foot wall around the property which was required for safety by the government.
The School’s mission is to provide a Lutheran-Christian, loving education as a boarding school regardless of a family’s ability to pay.
