Electricity Problems in Dar

Pray that the electricity problem at the location for Kids Friday Club in Dar es Salaam will soon be resolved. During the past two weeks there has been no power at the location and the Student Ministries Team has had to conduct club in the dark. Most of the 34 kids are still excited to come, but some parents won’t send their children, if this problem continues.
