Bomb in Arusha

Written 07.05.2013 20:57 under Archive

Dear friends,
 

As you might have heard in the news, on Sunday morning around 11am a bomb was thrown into the Roman Catholic church they were dedicating that day, about 800m from where Miriam and Per lives. There were many prominent guests like a representative from the pope in Rome.

 

About 86 people were injured especially many children and 3 have been reported dead. The wounded were brought to 3 different hospitals in the area and many are still in a critical condition.
The military quickly came to the scene as they were afraid more bombs were hidden, fortunately they did not find any.

 

We have been told they have caught 3 Tanzanian and 3 (some say 4) Arabs (who flew in that week from Saudi Arabia). No organization has taken responsibility for the action, the locals are sure it is the muslims especially in the light of what has happened on Zanzibar and Mwanza. (Churches were burnt and priests were decapitated).

 

The situation is tense. Yesterday a minister was there to talk to the church/people in Olasiti and asked them to pray for the situation and not take revenge. This minister is one of the few we have in our parliament as many muslims have been elected. We would like you to pray for the situation that it will not escalate to become a holy war between Christians and muslims.

 

Lastly I would like to ask you to pray for us and remember us in your prayers for safety and guardian angels. We do not feel afraid as we know God has put us here.

 
With love Tabitha and Mirjam

    [post_content] => Kære venner,
I dag er det min fødselsdag, men jeg skriver ikke fordi det er det vi skal fejre.   . Men jeg vil utrolig gerne fejre at vi nu har rundet de første 100 børn vi har hjulpet til at få et værdigt liv. Det synes jeg er værd at fejre, gør i ikke? 
 
Jeg har vedhæftet sidste nyt og med nogle dejlige opdateringer med nogle af de skønne børn der er i behandling lige nu. Jeg elsker det arbejde vi får lov til at gøre blandt de mange fattige børn, det er så livgivende. Og nu gælder jeg mig til at lande i Tanzania igen 20 september og bruge en måned med at tilse de mange projekter vi har gang i. Tak at i vil være med til at bede for den tur. Der skal en gruppe på 11 med ud så det bliver rigtig spændende for dem at opleve "mit Afrika".
 
Solen skinner så smukt i dag, jeg må have været sød i år 🙂 Jeg takker Gud for hver gang solen skinner og det er dejligt vejr! For mig er det en gave, så det var en dobbelt god gave i dag, sol, varm og 100 børn.
 
Tak for fantastisk samarbejde
