In September 2007, eight members from St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church traveled to Bulongwa, Tanzania, Africa. St. Paul’s has a companion congregation relationship with the Lutheran Church in Bulongwa (pics below). The Lutheran church in Bulongwa is part of the South Central Diocese (SCD) of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Tanzania (ELCT). The church of Bulongwa, Tanzania works with St. Paul’s, Fleetwood, together in many shared ministries, supporting the needs of the people of Bulongwa and the needs of the people of St. Paul’s. Meeting the needs of the orphans, supporting the schools, supplying electricity to Bulongwa, setting up a mill to grind their grain, singing and dancing together, teaching us to grow in our relationship in Christ, meeting their Pastor/Doctor’s transportation needs with a motorbike are but a few of the ministries we share! Mission trips were made to Bulongwa in September 2005 and September 2007. A mission trip is tentatively planned to go to Bulongwa in September 2009.
