DEOGRATIUS HAS LOST HIS MOTHER
Deogratious’ Mother passed away on Monday, September 22, 2008. Deogratius was baptized in 2007 during an LST program. It is hardly a month ago when we mourned the departure of Anna Dhudha from our Midst.

Deogratius’ parents divorced when he was very young. Both got married to spouses who would not show love and acceptance to him. The only person that loved him was his aunt who was living and working in Moshi. She would support Deo some, but largely a priest of a catholic church enrolled Deo at their centre, where he still lives and trains in masonry. This has not been the best year for Deo. Earlier in June, his aunt got killed in a road accident in Moshi.

He was able to attend his mother’s burial which is being done today in Morogoro. Deo was convicted by the scriptures and being inquisitive as to practices that stood against the clear teachings of scripture. He took the risk of being baptized by immersion and placing his membership with the Church of Christ. He is prompt and regular at Church and leads in giving and Lord’s table. He is also one of the leaders of our youth ministry.

Please pray for Deo as he comes to terms with the lose of a mother.
