The "Bricks for Tanzania" campaign

Final Request: The "Bricks for Tanzania" campaign is in its final weeks.  Please see below for the purpose and goal of this effort.  The Salvationists in Tanzania are taking collections up to the end of March, afterwhich the campaign will be closed.  Thank you for taking the time to partner with our people and for contributing to our ability to offer hope to those who need it most.  Please help me to reach my new goal of $4,500.  We have come a long way from my first goal of $2,500.  Asante!  Thank you!

The Kilimanjaro Marathon was a great success.  A very difficult race for me with 2600 ft. elevation, but I did run all the way and finished in 5 hours and 11 minutes.  Again, thank you for your moral and financial support. 

The campaign...

Worshipping under a tree, in a simple mud hut or a handmade brick structure is a common experience for many new Salvation Army openings in Tanzania. The people continue until they can afford to build a proper Corps hall measuring 20 ft. x 30 ft., requiring only 600 bricks to set the foundation and walls. Making one brick within the village costs 1000 Tanzanian shillings.  That’s .32p, .44 cents USD or .56 cents CAD per brick.  We are developing a partnership where the Corps will provide 4 windows and 2 doors, THQ will provide the steel roof, and now we need donors to help provide bricks.  We are also asking the 9,000 soldiers in Tanzania Territory to donate the cost of 2 bricks each during collections throughout March.  Interestingly, the total cost of a building of this nature is 3 million shillings(£960; $1300USD; $1700CAD).  On March 4th, 2018, I ran the Kilimanjaro Marathon (26.2 miles/42 kms) to raise funds for Bricks for Tanzania. Your gift of just £10 will provide 31 bricks; $10US gives us 23 bricks; $10 CAD equals 18 bricks.  Imagine the impact you can make by becoming a donor.  Your generosity will help The Salvation Army meet many needs within the village community such as programming and fellowship for youth at risk, support for families and various life-skill instruction.  Please consider contributing to my GoFundMe page.  Thank you for your support!

TANZANIA TERRITORY- SPIRITUAL LIFE

SPIRITUAL LIFE

The Salvation Army is a Christian organisation and part of the universal Christian Church.

Its message and the lifestyle it advocates are based on the Bible's teaching. Its work is to make known the good news about Jesus Christ and to persuade people to become his followers.

Everything The Salvation Army does is rooted in the faith of its members. The confidence Salvationists have in a loving and caring God finds outward expression in their love for humanity and their practical response to human need.  

Personal devotions, Bible study (both personal and with others) and public and private worship are encouraged in all our members.  

We have many symbols, phases and emblems that capture the spirit and motivation of our ministries.  These help anchor us to the most essential issues of our faith and spiritual lives.  Below is a summary.

Shield

The Red Shield is an internationally recognised symbol of Salvation Army service to those in need. It represents the shield we provide to people in need of help, whether it be spiritually, physically, financially or emotionally. At the turn of the 20th century, one of the symbols of The Salvation Army was a silver shield with the words 'Salvation Army' emblazoned across it. The shield was worn as a badge by many Salvation Army personnel, particularly those serving with the Defence Forces.

 

Crest

The crest is a meaningful symbol of the Salvationist's beliefs. Captain William Ebdon designed the crest in 1878 and the only alteration to his original design was the addition of the crown. Its emblems set forth the leading doctrines of The Salvation Army as follows: The crown speaks of God's reward for His faithful people The sun (the surround) represents the light and fire of the Holy Spirit The 'S' stands for salvation from sin The cross of Jesus stands at the centre of the crest and the Salvationist's faith The swords represent the fight against sin The shots (seven dots on the circle) stand for the truths of the Gospel 'Blood and Fire' is the motto of The Salvation Army. This describes the blood of Jesus shed on the cross to save all people, and the fire of the Holy Spirit which purifies believers.

 

 

Uniform

While many denominations of the Christian Church have a distinctive form of dress for the clergy, The Salvation Army is almost unique in its allocation of its distinctively martial apparel for clergy and laity alike. Salvationists advocate the priesthood of all believers, thus the uniform (which relates to a priestly garb) is also worn by non-officers. In a sense, a Salvation Army uniform is a Salvationist's "working clothes" for mission. Uniforms have been worn in many forms since the Army's earliest days. The first evangelists of the Christian Mission (early name of The Salvation Army) wore suits of clerical cut, with frock coats, tall hats and black ties. Women evangelists wore plain dresses and small Quaker type bonnets. After the Mission became the Army (1878), it was agreed that a military type uniform should be adopted.
The Salvationist's uniform currently serves three purposes: internally its use provides a sense of identity and indicates membership; externally it provides a widely recognised symbol of availability and service; internationally it is the most recognised and recognisable cultural icon for Salvationists, part of the glue that holds the denomination together. The effect of uniform-wearing is to give an extraordinarily high visibility and visual impact in public. The negative effects that Salvationists have to guard against are exclusivity within the Army's congregations and a sense of smugness or spiritual superiority, and complacency (mistaking the wearing of particular garments for being in a right relationship with God.

Our History in Tanzania

A Brief Look at our Origins

The Salvation Army is an integral part of the Christian Church, although distinctive in government and practice. The Army’s doctrine follows the mainstream of Christian belief and its articles of faith emphasize God’s saving purposes. Its objects are ‘the advancement of the Christian religion… of education, the relief of poverty, and other charitable objects beneficial to society or the community of mankind as a whole.’
 The movement, founded in 1865 by William Booth, has spread from   London, England, to many parts of the world. The rapid deployment of the first Salvationists was aided by the adoption of a quasi-military command structure in 1878 when the title, ‘The Salvation Army’, was brought into use. A similarly practical organisation today enables resources to be equally flexible. Responding to a recurrent theme in Christianity which sees the Church engaged in spiritual warfare, the Salvation Army continues to use soldier’s features such as uniforms, flags and ranks to identify, inspire and   regulate the ministry.




 

FOUNDER

William Booth

William Booth began The Salvation Army in July 1865. Preaching to a small congregation in the slums of London. Thieves, prostitutes, gamblers, and drunkards were among Booth’s first converts to Christianity. His congregation were desperately poor. He preached hope and salvation. His aim was to lead them to Christ and link them to a church for continued spiritual guidance.
Even though Booth’s followers were converted, churches did not accept them because of what they had been. However, Booth gave their lives direction in both a spiritual and practical manner and put them to work to help others who were like themselves. They, too preached and sang in the streets as a living testimony to the power of God.
In 1867, Booth had only 10 full-time workers. By 1874, the numbers had grown to 1,000 volunteers and 42 evangelists. They served under the name The Christian Mission and Booth assumed the title of General Superintendent, although his followers called him ‘General’. Known as the ‘Hallelujah Army’, the converts spread out to the east end of London into neighbouring areas and then to other cities.
In 1878, Booth was reading a printer’s proof of the organization’s annual report when he noticed the statement, ‘the Christian Mission under the Superintendent’s of the Rev. William Booth is a volunteer army.’ He crossed out the words ‘volunteer army’ and penned in ‘Salvation Army.’ From those words came the basis of the foundation deed of The Salvation Army which was adopted in August of that same year.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Catherine Booth



Catherine Booth, wife of Salvation Army founder William Booth, was known as the “Army Mother”. In her world, women had few rights, no place in the professions and a minimal presence in church leadership. Nonetheless, in her marriage to William Booth, she became an evangelist, preacher and theologian, and co-founder of The Salvation Army.

As a child, Catherine Booth was bright and tenacious despite long illnesses. By age 12, she had thoroughly studied the Bible from cover to cover—eight times. During her life, she became one of the most popular preachers of her era.

A prolific writer, Catherine Booth explored universal questions and provided forthright answers. She believed Christians must be passionate about their faith, that if we are indifferent we can lose the capacity for love and service. She wrote: ‘He doesn’t ask you to go to chapel or join the church and pray...but to get down and give up your heart to Him, to choose whom you will serve, and do it at once, and everything else will follow.’

In 1860 Catherine and William Booth attended Chapel in Gateshead. William was preaching in the pulpit and Catherine was sitting in the congregation. As he finished speaking William saw Catherine leave her seat and make her way to the front. He leaned over the pulpit and asked: “What is the matter?” “I want to say a word,” Catherine replied.

William then addressed the congregation and said, “My dear wife wants to say a word”. He then sat down and Catherine mounted the pulpit. She told the congregation of her disobedience to the voice of the Holy Spirit telling her to be courageous and speak in public about Jesus. As she confessed her own weaknesses in public, members of the congregation were in tears as they listened to this godly woman. News quickly spread through the town that a woman had preached, and from then onwards she was in great demand as a preacher.

All this would never have happened had not William Booth allowed Catherine to speak. He recognised her abilities, her spirituality and her love for souls and he gave her the opportunity to join him in a shared ministry.

PIONEERS IN TANZANIA

The Salvation Army began its work in the former Tanganyika in November 1933, in the town of Tabora, under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel Francis and Mrs. Jessie Dare whom came from the United Kingdom.

From the Tabora the work spread to Chunya and to Arusha in the late 1930’s and early 1940’s. In 1950, at the request for assistance from the Colonial Governor, the Army was invited to oversight the work of the Mgulani Camp which had been operating under the British Red Cross Society. The Tanzania Headquarters is now located in the Mgulani Compound in Dar es Salaam. From these early beginnings, The Salvation Army’s work continued to develop and on 1^st October, 1998, the Tanzania Command was inaugurated under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonels David and Jean Burrows.  The work of The Salvation Army in Tanzania was no longer administratively dependent on another Africa country.
21^st February, 2000 was another milestone in the Tanzania Command.  In prior years, pastors (officers) were attended a 2-year training school in Kenya.  But now 12 Cadets (students in training to become pastors) of the "Cross Bearers" Session commenced training at the Command’s own Training College. As a result, Tanzania has been training leaders for ministry ever since.
From our humble roots nearly 80 years ago, we have spread throughout the country.  We now have over 150 national officers (pastors) who lead ministries in over 150 communities.

Our History in Tanzania

   In November 1933, Adjutant and Mrs. Francis Dare came from Kenya to begin the work of The Salvation Army in Tabora, Tanzania (formerly known as Tanganyika). Starting in 1947 an initiative was developed to grow peanuts in Tanganyika as a contribution to both the African and British economies.  The Groundnuts Scheme began but was abandoned four years later on January 9th, 1951.  A few years later The Salvation Army took occupancy of a former RAF camp as a center to assist immigrants who, having come to Tanzania to assist with the scheme, found themselves homeless and jobless.  In 1961, The Salvation Army was registered in Dar es Salaam, and the 15 acres on Kilwa Road became its Headquarters. In 1962, the Salvation Army was given Permission to Occupy the property and it has been the site of our Territorial (National) Headquarters ever since.

Salvation Army Ministries(Women’s Ministries)

Salvation Army Ministries

Women’s Ministries

The ideal basic unit of society is the home and family, where women play a vital and definitive role. Furthermore, as natural providers of hope, women play an important part in shaping society. Therefore any fellowship of women in which Christian influence is exerted and practical help given benefits not only the individual and the family, but also the nation. Women’s Ministries provide a programme of meetings and other activities based on the fourfold aim of the Army’s international women’s organisation, the Home League, which was inaugurated in 1907. The aims are worship, education, fellowship and service.

The mission of Women’s Ministries is to:

• bring women into a knowledge of Jesus Christ
• encourage their full potential in influencing family, friends and community
• equip them for growth in personal understanding and life skills
• address issues which affect women and their families in the world.

The motto of the Home League is: ‘I will live a pure life in my house …’ (Psalm 101:2b, GNB).

    

 Extended Ministries

The League of Mercy / Community Care Ministries

The League of Mercy began in 1892 in Canada and is made up of people of all ages whose mission is to engage in a caring ministry. The main objective of the League of Mercy is to respond to the spiritual and social needs of the community. The ministry is adapted according to the local situation, the size of its membership and the skill of its members, and endeavours to follow Christ’s injunction, ‘Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me’ (Matthew 25:40, AV).

The Fellowship of the Silver Star

The Fellowship, inaugurated in the USA in 1930 and extended worldwide in 1936, expresses gratitude to parents or other significant life mentors of Salvation Army officers.

The Salvation Army Medical Fellowship

The Salvation Army Medical Fellowship, instituted in 1943 by Mrs General Evalina Carpenter, is an international fellowship of dedicated medical personnel. Physical suffering in our world today challenges both the medical as well as the physical and emotional resources of medical personnel. The Fellowship today, with a worldwide membership of 8,257, encourages a Christian witness and application of Christian principles in professional life while at the same time being involved with practical application in hospitals, clinics and various other places of medical care. The motto of the Fellowship is: ‘If we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another’ (1 John 1:7, AV).

The Salvation Army Students’ Fellowship

The fellowship started in Norway in 1942 and later spread to other countries, receiving an official constitution in 1950. It comes under the world presidency of the General and has more than 9,000 members.
The aim of the fellowship is to unite Salvationist students and graduates of universities, colleges and other centres of higher education, in Christian fellowship and such Salvation Army service as may be appropriate.

The Salvation Army Blue Shield Fellowship

In 1974 this fellowship was formed by two British Salvationist policemen to provide friendship and support Christian policemen need as they face the challenges of today. Membership is open to both active and retired police officers and there are members in many different countries.
