Church commends JK for advocating peace
World Seventh Day Adventist (SDA)
A press statement issued by the Directorate of Presidential
Communications says the church commends the government for providing
freedom of worship that allows all to live according to their beliefs.
The remarks were given yesterday by SDA World Leader Dr Ted Wilson
during the General Conference of the Seventh Adventist Church that was
held at the national stadium in Dar es Salaam on Saturday and where Dr
Wilson was accompanied by other SDA leaders from at least eleven
countries.
“I wish to congratulate you for enhancing peace in your country
and other African countries,” he told President Jakaya Kikwete during
talks at the State House in Dar es Salaam.
He said the history and contribution of President Kikwete on fighting for peace in Africa will always be remembered.
“You have done a great job in Tanzania and Africa…to us having
peace is the most important thing because it allows us to continue
preaching the word of God.”
Dr Wilson and his fellow leaders were in the country to participate
in the ‘Blessings in Mission East and Central Africa’ conference that
attracted more than 40,000 people from within and outside the country.
