Bega Kwa Bega

KIPANGA PARISH, TANZANIA

Since November 2022, we’ve officially partnered with the people of the Kipanga Parish, our congregational partner in Iringa, Tanzania. We walk shoulder-to-shoulder (“Bega Kwa Bega” in Swahili) together. Bega Kwa Bega is the name of the St. Paul Area Synod’s companion synod program with the Iringa Diocese in Tanzania.

To support and sustain our ongoing partnership with the Kipanga Parish, gifts made at saintandrews.org/give will help to provide scholarships and support for our BKB mission program.

Activities

Here are the three ways we partner with the Kipanga Parish.

1. Prayer

St. Andrew's congregants and the people of the Kipanga Parish promise to pray for one another, as sisters and brothers in Christ.

2. Presence

We commit to being present with one another. We anticipate ways that can happen and watch for news to come regarding what it looks like for us to travel to Tanzania.

3. Projects

This partnership commits us to supporting projects alongside the congregation to sustain their life and ministry in Kipanga Parish.

WATER FOR KIPANGA, TANZANIA

Ken Smith from St. Paul Partners has been working with his team of engineers in Tanzania to determine the best way to make water more accessible for our partner parish. Learn more about water equity issues in Tanzania and how the people of St. Andrew’s can make a difference by watching the video below.

The Journey

This has been a long journey for St. Andrew’s, and we’re so pleased to have taken this next step. Many St. Andrew’s congregants have been advocates for this partnership, and it’s a blessing to bring it to fruition.

The inaugural Bega Kwa Bega mission trip to Kipanga Parish took place in the summer of 2023. Led by Pastors Sarah Breckenridge and Amy Mihelich Smith, the St. Andrew’s group traveled throughout the region to build fellowship and friendships with fellow Lutherans and see Christ’s love alive and in action in Tanzania.

We covet your prayers for the people of the Kipanga Parish, for the people of St. Andrew’s, for the ways this relationship will continue to grow, and for how God will work in and through this partnership.

Tupo pamoja! (We are together!)
