OUR CALL TO BBC SWAHILI AND OTHER LOCAL MEDIA



BBC is one among the most respected Media in the world and has made its very nice reputable records in its functionality world wide.

We do respect and love the BBC but we must be very fair to correct them whenever they do a mistake.Here is one example, the BBC SWAHILI didn`t treat the Church fair following the terrible incidences took place in Zanzibar last and this week.Two Churches apart from Mercury restaurant were boomed by unknown men last Sunday 23rd/02/2014 this was Evangelistic Assemblies Of God Zanzibar Church in Pangawe Zone in Founi, and the Anglican Church which is at Mkunazini street in Zanzibar town in 24th/02/2014.

But we are very shocked and very disappointed to see the big media like BBC could only ended up mentioning the places ( Pangawe and Mkunazini) without caring mentioning the victims institutions which are (Evangelistic Assemblies Of God Zanzibar at Pangawe zone(Shehia) and The Anglican Church at Mkunazini)in such terrible incidence like this? see what they did

http://www.bbc.co.uk/swahili/habari/2014/02/140224_zanzibar_explosions.shtml )

I think it could be wise to mention the victims following the series of such attacks have been targeted Christian institutions especially in 2012 whereby a big loss of properties even life took place and no any compensation was made at least to help the victims to restore what was damaged by, and just now you could see that bad atmosphere is starting taking into stage while they past wounds are still there!!

We are calling for the BBC and other local media which reported the incidences to be fair and work according to their mass media ethic which recognize fairness in balancing issues , because the listeners and the viewers have the right to know the true and clear content of their news , you can`t just mentioning a place and leave a victim covered while he or she is known , you can`t write a story from a single source while another can be available to help the story be in good and fair balance to give the media a very professional prepared clear content.

May God forgive you for this and help you next time to work in fairness and good balance in what you are to present to the media

WE WILL NEVER QUIT THE GOSPEL AND JESUS CHRIST !!!



Romans 8:38-39
"38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."(KJV

It was around 1:17pm last Sunday 23rd, 2014, when unknown man came outside our Church wall and threw a local made Boom in what is believed to be a terror plot which was aimed to hurt and kill the Church members including children and leaders whom at that time were praying to end the service

We heard a very strong boom blast which caused a big confusion and frustration among us , but by the grace of God the leaders where calmed and strong to help the members to remain calmly in the Church while a youth team was given an instruction to go out and check the situation and bring back the feedback if the whole compound was safe and in case the enemy was around to cause more harm

Thank God ! There was nobody outside found, something which showed he threw it and ran away .Then saw some Boom materials which were used to make it and managed to keep them there they were until the Police arrived with a team of Boom squad experts who arrived 10 minutes after we called them

We give the glory to God for no one was hurt or killed so God kept us safe from the evil satanic plot which targeted our lives.But we praise the Lord because a place where the Boom landed is where our Sunday School children always stay while adults are in main service,but by the grace of God our children were all inside the Church unexpectedly to join the parents in service at the time the Boom landed there,so you can imagine how terrible the situation could be if they could be there while the Boom landing and strike the wall.

As the Church we are sending a very clear massage to all those who choose such wrong path of Satan that the "WE WILL NEVER QUIT THE GOSPEL AND JESUS CHRIST,NOR LOSE HEART TRUSTING IN HIM EVEN PREACH BY HIS NAME.

We forgive and bless them for what they did against us, and we ask the LORD to save and change their lives for Christ sake,and His amazing love and glory in Christ Jesus ..Amen.

The Long Way The Church Was And Is to Go

Zanzibar Island is the informal designation for the Islands of Unguja and Pemba situated in the Indian Ocean.



However during the Age of Exploration ,in 1498 the Portuguese Empire was the first European power to gain control of Zanzibar, and kept it for nearly 200 years until in 1698 Zanzibar fell under the control of the Sultanate of Oman and obviously ( build the Mosque of Allah is believed by the Islam so ever influenced the mode of belief of the entire generations of the Zanzibaris until today ).

Muslim traders from the Persian Gulf had settled through southern hemisphere of Unguja early in the 10th century after monsoon winds propelled them through the Gulf of Aden and Somalia. Zanzibar archipelago united with Tanganyika to form the present day Tanzania in 1964.

The rise of the minority Christian community relies on different means of their introductory causes ,as Christianity has diverse rich forms of denominations therefore there were some denominations which were being introduced in Zanzibar through historical factors like Colonialism period whereby the Colonial empires which were established in the forms of the national denominations were easily made their side by spreading their belief such of these are Anglican Christians through British Empire and Roman Catholic through Portuguese, Lutheran through German Empires .

How ever in 1974 there were other Christian Churches were introduced in Zanzibar after Independence of Zanzibar then the United Republic of Tanzania such these Churches were the Lutheran Christians and Evangelical Christians (Pentecostal) etc.

Praise God, as from the Church Rev.Leonard Masasa was pastoring were rose men who decided to go out and established new churches of different denominations such as Elim Pentecost, Tanzania Assemblies of God, Zanzibar Pentecostal Church, Free Pentecostal, and many other churches have been established in Zanzibar Islands.

In 1995 Rev.Leonard left the church he used to pastor since 1984 and established a new Church which "The Evangelistic Assemblies of God Zanzibar (EAGZ)" and was started until this day he is pastoring that Church.

The EAGZ Church has succeeded by the grace of God to open other Churches.How ever more efforts is done as to equip these churches and also pray hard to find up some means we can do more in other places, if God may open doors.

The recent research have shows that Islam religion has 95.% followed by Hindus and others 2.05% ,Catholic and Anglican 1.% ,Lutheran 0.01%, Evangelicals 0.05% of all people.

Please when you visit the Islands of Zanzibar feel free to visit us too and as you are still afar we therefore requesting your fervent and effective prayers so that this work may go forward and so many Zanzibaris could find their chance to know and believe in Jesus Christ...Amen.
