TESTIMONY
We have asked all our Bethany girls and
boys to write a testimony about their life,
before Bethany, at Bethany and after so
that you can hear from the children
themselves.

Latest news from Bethany Tanzania 15th August 2020
Bethany Choir copied a video of Dave Wesley singing ‘God of
Angel Armies’. This video shows Dave Wesley talking about the
Bethany Choirs version
You will by now be well aware of the tragic accident of the 23rd
Feb 2020 when our Land Rover was damaged beyond repair.
We really need to replace it as we are the only NGO in our village
and our vehicles are not only used by Bethany but also as an
emergency vehicle for the villagers. Below you will see a picture
of our old Land Rover.
Alternative vehicles: We are now considering other vehicles
which may suit our needs better than just replacing it with the 12
seater multi-purpose Toyota Land Cruiser. We are considering
whether a 16 seater mini bus (seat belts for every child) and a
double cab pickup (both Nissan) would meet our needs costing a
little more than the cost of a Toyota Land Cruiser.
Nissan are also prepared to offer a discount but have not been
offered one by Toyota.
VAT exempt Status: Jesca together with our accountant and
lawyer Faustine Duttu are working hard to prepare accounts
required by the Tanzanian government before being able to
register for VAT exempt status. If we achieve this status it will
avoid us paying 20% VAT on top of the £46,000 target price we
are attempting to raise.

The Bethany children organise a sponsored walk
The team at Bethany decided it would be a good idea for the children and
staff to do their bit to raise funds for a new vehicle/s.
They have split the children and staff into 5 groups who will do different
length walks on different days. The groups are as follows:

The wedding of Nkamba and Duttu

Report from Jesca
Nkamba's wedding went really well
yesterday and it was a busy day. As usual,
time was often an issue as you know
Tanzanian's can't stick to a plan but other
than that I think Duttu and Nkamba enjoyed
their day.
They loved the videos and the various
messages everyone sent, I think it is
something they'll treasure during their
married life as they seek to grow together
in faith and in the service of their Saviour
Christ Jesus.
