On May 20, during its 2024 Annual Conference Session, The United Methodists of Greater New Jersey surpassed its $100,000 goal for the campaign after a special offering raised $24,373, pushing the total contributions to over $110,000. The funds are designated for constructing a church in the fast-growing Bamia neighborhood of Dar es Salaam and ensuring a sustainable wage for Tanzanian United Methodist pastors.
A mission team from Greater New Jersey, including Eric Drew, Rev. Leslie Houseworth, Rev. William D. Carter III, Rev. Dawn Taylor-Storm, Rev. Eunice Vega-Perez, Sam Perez, and Bishop John Schol, landed in Tanzania on May 25. They are attending the Tanzania Annual Conference session and will be leading the fourth annual Tanzania Pastor’s School.
