Nelson. Following that dedicatory prayer, which was done at a hilly point in Oyster Bay Beach, Elder Richard G. Scott of The Quorum of Twelve Apostles made a brief apostolic visit to Dar es salaam in November 2005.</p><img src='/media/500x281/Stevenson-in-Tanzania---Elder-Gary-E.-Stevenson-Briefed-at-Makuburi-Health-Centre.jpg'/>Church Funds Critical Food and Supplies for Flooding Victims in Kinshasa, DR Congo2024-02-29http://news-africa.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/church-funds-critical-food-and-supplies-for-flooding-victims-in-kinshasa--dr-congohttp://news-africa.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/church-funds-critical-food-and-supplies-for-flooding-victims-in-kinshasa--dr-congoKinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo | Thursday, 29 February 2024 | <p>The Church of Jesus Christ and the NGO Women of Faith, accompanied His Excellency the President of the Democratic Republic of Congo in his policy to relieve the suffering of flooding victims in the eastern part of the City of Kinshasa.</p><img src='//presse-afrique.eglisedejesus-christ.org/media/500x281/WF-women-receiving-aid.jpg'/>Elder Gary E.
