Bulondani, Uganda – 2016

Pastor Tanas Wangira was introduced to the CLC through his colleague and long-time friend, Daniel Mugeni of Iganga.  Along with several evangelists he serves a congregation of 130 souls (31 adults and 99 children) in a church which is still under construction and built on his own property.  The heavy rainfall and flooding in late 2015 severely affected this congregation with the church and home property being almost completely destroyed.  The CLC MDF was able to provide relief so that the rebuilding process could begin.  Tanas serves as a community council member and volunteer advocate for orphaned children.  He has attended several Kenya/Uganda Pastoral Conferences and has shown a great appreciation for solid Lutheran teaching.  In order to continue correspondence training he must make the difficult journey each week down to Busia.
