In the heart of Tanzania, the Diocese of Lweru spans vast and challenging terrain, encompassing remote villages, bustling towns, and countless congregations eager for pastoral care. Bishop Godfrey Mbelwa, who shepherds this expansive diocese, faces an immense challenge: reaching his people. Reliable transportation is not a luxury but a necessity for his ministry, and we are inviting you to partner with us in providing him with a durable reliable vehicle.
The Diocese of Lweru was established on Sunday August 202, 2006 out of the Diocese of Kagera. The Rt. Rev. Jackton Yeremiah Lugumila being the founding Bishop. On his retirement 11 years later, on Sunday 5th February, 2017, the Rt. Rev. Godfrey Mbelwa succeeded him. When the Diocese began, there were 12 Parishes.
By 2024, that number has increased to 48, with a total number of 120 churches, 71 pastors, 132 Evangelists and more than 19,000 congregation members.
