- Tanzania - Gethsemane Lutheran Church is in partnership with the Lutheran Church in Pommern, Tanzania. This partnership is known by the Swahili words "Bega Kwa Bega," meaning "shoulder to shoulder." Bega Kwa Bega is a joint ministry to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ, extend Christian hospitality, and promote healthy interpersonal relationships through prayer, worship, and service.
- Pommern Lutheran Church is a large, dynamic, and growing faith community, with about 1500 members and weekly church attendance of more than 500. Gethsemane’s partnership with Pommern helps their continued growth and outreach.
- Gethsemane and Pommern Lutheran churches support each other through prayer, projects, and presence—being with each other. Every few years, Gethsemane members travel to Pommern to build on the personal relationships that have been established since our first trip in 2007.
- The village of Pommern is also the location of Pommern Secondary School. Gethsemane supports students at this school, and other Iringa Diocese schools, through yearly scholarship grants. Through these efforts, educated students become the future pastors, teachers, and community leaders in Pommern and throughout Tanzania.
