Mango Church in Miyuji, TanzaniaMango Church has had another improvement recently thanks to a generous donation from a friend of the Mungwe family. While the NW Ohio group was here, we had the opportunity to add a new floor to the church. With the help of church volunteers and some of Mungwe’s borrowed construction crew, the floor was finished in half a day.

Mango Church ready for the cement floorThe day before we arrived, the church volunteers and labor donated from Mungwe’s construction team had already placed the rocks ready for the pouring of cement for the floor.
