Dar Es Salaam, Christmas 2013

The joyous event of the birth of the Divine Infant will be celebrated again this year spreading blessing and joy to every corner of the earth.

We strive to offer this joy to the hungry children in Tanzania who have forgotten to smile.

I wish to express my heartfelt thanks for your offerings, which are salvation and life for our children.

So in nine years of ministry in Tanzania, more than fifty thousand (50,000) people have been baptized Orthodox while 168 projects were completed:

• 31 Churches

• 4 Mission centres

• 2 orphanages

• 121 wheelchairs for the disabled

• 10 presbyteries

• 8 clinics

• 75 wells and boreholes

• 2 guest houses

• 7 schools

• 29 homes for large families

We also continue to serve 1,000 meals every day and work on one (1) new church and one (1) new clinic.

We ask for your help during these holy days, with your practical love, so that our mission work won’t stop.

We pray that our Lord Jesus Christ requite you richly with his mercies, and grants you a blessed New Year 2014.

With heartfelt wishes

+Metropolitan Dimitrios of Irinoupolis

URGENT: I ask sponsors not to forget at least their annual obligation. Your children are at risk!
