• Pray for Tanzania Territory

Did you know that the Tanzania Territory has more than 12,000 senior soldiers, and its education programs focus on children struggling, not just with endemic poverty and gender inequality, but disabilities and abandonment?

Each week through 2026, Salvationists around the world are uniting in prayer for the same territory or region of The Salvation Army. Prayer requests are shared by the territory/region to help us pray with precision and power for one another.

This week (2-8 February) we pray for the Tanzania Territory.

This territory has 243 officers (227 active, 16 retired); 18 cadets; 93 corps; 49 outposts; 12,238 senior soldiers; 3677 adherents; 11,369 junior soldiers; 115 employees.

Colonels Mary and Samuel Mkami lead the Tanzania Territory.

The work of the territory includes:

·  Schools and education (4 schools, 1200 youth club members)

·  Village savings and loan associations

·  Community health services

·  Modern slavery and human trafficking response.

The Tanzania Territory works to include children of all abilities in its sports' programs.

Prayers for the territory:

Praise points:

Thanksgiving for God’s protection over the territory in the past year and for all the blessings we received, good health for all officers, employees and all people related to the Salvation Army ministry all over the territory.

Children at The Salvation Army's Matumaini School. Matumaini means ‘hope’ in Swahili. Since the school started in 1967, it has been providing education and hope to primary school children living with physical disabilities and albinism.

Prayer requests

Poverty and gender inequality are the underlying issues facing children across Tanzania.

·       Pray for the dedication of all territorial, divisional and corps plans to God. We ask you to pray for the success of all the programs in relation to officers’ seminars, local officers teaching and planned youth meetings.

·       Pray for renewal of commitment to Salvationist values and discipline.

·       For unity among leadership: territorial, divisional and corps offices all around the territory, keeping in mind that unity is power.

·       For God’s direction for self-sustainability projects, institutions and development programs.

·       Spiritual revival in corps worship, holiness meetings, and prayer gatherings. Pray that The Salvation Army in the territory put more emphasis on: Discipleship, Youth & Family Ministries. Colossians 2:6–7; 2 Peter 3:18      

·       Pray for renewed passion for evangelism and soul-winning in divisional, corps and territorial levels.

·       As we go through a post-election period which was marred by violence, we ask you to pray for peace, stability and righteousness in Tanzania as a nation.
