Give a Christmas gift!
Can you help give a Bible to College students in Tanzania?
The Gloucester Diocese link team with the Diocese of Western Tanganyika in Tanzania (DWT) have recently heard that the Bible College students in DWT are short of Bibles. It would be great to fund new Bibles for them, particularly needed by those who are studying in English. The Bibles can be purchased locally in Tanzania.
We invite you, if you would like, to contribute a Christmas gift towards this cause………
