TANZANIA — Evangelist arrested in Zanzibar According to Compass Direct News, in early August Tanzanian security agents arrested Peter Masanja, an evangelist in Zanzibar's southeastern town of Paje. Earlier this year, Peter invited members of the Pentecostal Church in Zanzibar to hold church activities in his home. This angered local Muslims, who believed he was planning to establish a church on his land. His wife grew concerned after Peter failed to return home one day. After searching for several days, his wife learned Peter had been arrested and imprisoned. Local pastors tried to meet with prison authorities about Peter's arrest, but were told that the person in charge of the prison was away on business. Pray that Peter will be released. Pray also for his family, that their faith in Christ will grow stronger during these difficult days. Ask God to equip Christians in Tanzania through His grace to demonstrate His love and forgiveness amid great opposition.
