KUNGWE COMMUNITY.
Kungwe spiritual
Centre is situated in Kungwe village, Tomondo Ward, Division Mkuyuni and
District Morogoro vijijini. In the year 2004, the Community of Agape, in Dar-es-Salaam, asked the
village of Kibungo/Kungwe a piece of land of about 250 hectares. The leaders of
the village provided them with a plot situated between the mountains of Kungwe
and Luhakwi. In the North from the limit of the Kungwe Forest Reserve, In the
West the bed of two small ravines; in the East the limit of the village of
Mlilingwa and in the South the limit was not well defined at that time.
In the year 2004 Kungwe village welcomes
us, From the year
2005 onwards 2 or 3 workers were living there starting building and looking
after the area. In 2008 the authority of the village allowed
us to seek the Title Deed, and in 2012 the plot was surveyed
Tumekwisha jenga
nyumba mbili zenye vyumba vikubwa 6 na vidogo 4. Tunaendelea kujenga nyumba
nyingine. Umeme wa solar unafanya kazi na maji safi yapo.
Mwaka 2009 mwezi wa
Mei, tulianzisha Kituo cha ki-roho kiitwacho "Kungwe Formation Centre".
Kwa sasa hivi kuna
idara mbalimbali: Kituo cha malezi, Kituo cha mafungo (bado kujengwa), Huduma
kwa maskini wa roho, Hifadhi ya uoto,
Mashamba na Ufugaji.
Who are we ?
Members of Kungwe Community (Wanajumuiya
wa ndani)
Since 2009
members of Agape Community moved to Kungwe to start the Youth Formation Centre.
They form the Kungwe Community having their own rules. Members are all single,
men and women, who have dedicated their lives to God, led by the Holy Spirit,
to serve others in their spiritual needs. They live together as a family.
Actually we
are a Community of three members, with one in formation in Agape, six
candidates and one chaplain.
Jumuiya ya Kungwe ni tawi la Jumuiya ya Agape
Centre. Kati ya Jumuiya hizo mbili kuna tofauti kidogo jinsi wanavyoishi kwa
sababu ya mazingira tofauti.
Jumuiya ya Kungwe ni jumuiya ya walei waseja,
wanaume na wanawake, wanaoishi pamoja kwa upendo kwa ajili ya kumtukuza Mungu kwa maisha yao
na kwa kazi zao. Kabla Jua linapotoka, tenzi za sifa zao zinapanda mbinguni.
Jua linapowaka wanafanya kazi shambani na nyumbani, kulima na kutunza mifugo,
kufundisha, kuongoza mafungo, kuwapokea wageni, n.k. Baada ya Jua kutua nyimbo
za shukrani zao zinasikika hata katika usiku.
Kwa sasa idadi ya makandidati imefika 6:

Sala ya kuombea wito kwa ajili ya Jumuiya ya
Kungwe
Ee Bwana Yesu,
ulimwomba Mungu Baba akupatie wafuasi wake, yaani Mitume, wakae nawe wafanye
kazi nawe, waendeleze kazi yako. Baba yako amekujibu, ulikaa na Mitume wako kwa
miaka mitatu, ukawafundisha na kuwawezesha kwa nguvu ya Roho Mtakatifu
kuwaletea watu wokovu.
Ee Bwana Yesu,
tunakuomba utupatie wanajumuiya wa Kungwe. Wawe Wakristo kweli; waliojitoa
kwake kuishi kama wewe katika useja na usafi kamili wa moyo; watu wanaotawaliwa
kabisa na Roho Mtakatifu; wasiotafuta sifa zao wala faida yao; walio tayari maishani
mwao mwote kufanya kazi kwa sifa ya utukufu wa Mungu Baba.
Ee, Bwana Yesu, Kituo
cha Kungwe kiwe mahali pa amani, furaha na upendo. Watu wote wafikao kituoni
wakutane nawe katika wanajumuiya. Wajifunze kukupenda wewe na wenzao na
kutimiza mapenzi yako daima katika maisha yao. Kituo kiwe mahali pa uponyaji na
kuwekwa huru. Huzuni, uchungu na kinyongo vitolewe. Uwajaze mioyo yao na upendo
wa Roho Mtakatifu.
Ee Bwana Yesu, Bikira
Maria, mama yako na mama yetu wa Kungwe, atuombee ili Mungu Baba asifiwe katika
maisha yetu hapa Kungwe. Tuendelee kupendana, kufanya kazi kwa furaha, kuwa
watumishi wa Mungu, kutafuta kumpendeza katika yote kama alivyompendeza kwa
maisha yake.
Tunaomba hayo kwa Jina
lako, unayeishi daima na milele. Amina.
Wanyajumuiya washiriki.
Ukiwa umefunga ndoa unaweza
kujiunga kama mshiriki wa nje bila kuishi ki-jumuiya Mungu atakupatia baraka
zote zile anazotubariki. Utashiriki kiroho na pengine kadiri ya nafasi yake
hata ki-mwili na ki-hali.Mt. Makari wa Misri na
wa Aleksandria ndiyo somo wetu na
waombezi wetu mbele ya Mungu.

Our purpose to start
Kungwe Formation Centre
Our purpose is multiple: To start a Youth
Formation Centre, a Retreat Centre called Kana Centre, hostels to accommodate
those with spiritual problems, Sisters houses, a Church, a farm to produce food
for the Centre, different workshops, and so on. To this day we have implemented
some of our purposes:
Youth Formation Centre
1. The first aim of starting this Youth Formation Centre was to discover
God in the middle of nature. So many youth are attracted by the life of the big
cities and lost all contact with nature and subsequently with God the Creator.
2. The second aim was to help them to lay the foundation of their
spiritual lives. This Centre is welcoming young people – even adults – men and
women, who want to learn more, for a full year, the principles of the spiritual
life, to grow in their faith, to be trained to a discipline life and to go on
to serve others. They do so by working manually, praying in the midst of
creation and being taught.
3. Because of the aim of this Centre we receive only a limited amount of
people. In May 2009, ten people were welcome to start the first year. In the
subsequent years we received more, according to the demands, from all over
Tanzania and from Kenya.
To create a Place of praying in the midst of creation
1. We have asked a big plot in order to be able to build small houses
for those who are looking for a quiet place in front of God.
2. Meanwhile we are able to receive those who look for a place of rest,
to pray to the Lord of creation, walk in the nature and enjoy the environment.
3. Each year we receive hundreds of young people, mature men and women,
who spend several days in praying, fasting and watching. To this purpose we
built three sheds in the midst of the forest.
To start a farm for providing food for the Centre
1. Part of the land is used for building, cultivating, farming and
others activities.
2. We have started to have some cattle in small number: goats, pigs and
cows to provide us with milk and meat. We raise chicken, turkeys and so on.
3. We have started a vegetable garden, an orchard and a tree nursery for
fruit trees and trees for building.
4. We have started bee's keeping on a very small scale. We are waiting
for some of us to follow courses on bee’s keepings in order to develop this
important activity for Tanzania farmers.
5. In creating a small bond for providing water for human and cattle
needs, in the same time we are raising fishes.
6. We have installed a posho mill for our own use and to fulfill the
needs of some villagers living nearby.
To start a Carpenter Workshop
One member of the community was a carpenter. He joined us
for a few years. He started a carpenter workshop with the necessary machines to
work properly. He has formed two young
people who have taken over his job.
To care for the environment
1. The remaining hectares of the land, about 200 hectares, will be a
'Reserve' for flora and fauna. To look for the environment is very important
for us and for the good of many, especially for the good of the next
generation. Trees are cleaning the atmosphere by reducing the emission of the
Carbonite gas, attracting rain, and keeping water in the ground. That's why we
try:
2. To prevent people to cut tree without prior permission and above all
without planting new ones. However, as we have seen during these few years, the
main enemy of the forests is fire. So we will use all our power to prevent the
forests to be destroyed by fire.
3. To create small ponds. This will supply, during the dry season,
drinking water for wild animals.
For the near future
To build a Retreat Centre
In the near future we will build 20 self
contained houses comprising one room with two beds, showers, toilets and
veranda. This will be the Cana Centre,
especially designed for those couples to be spiritually strengthened during
their pilgrimage on earth.
To build houses for caring for those spiritually disturbed and for
Sisters
1. On the premises we will also a hostel to receive those who are
spiritually disturbed and have no way to go to be prayed over for a long time.
2. Plans are on the way to get sisters who will care for all the needs
of these people and others. We will have to build their houses, and also a
small dispensary.
3. For the spiritual needs of those living in the campus we will build a
church.
To build a dam
We have made plans, draws map and the
necessary survey to build a big reserve water which will be able to provide
water for 1.000 villagers all the year around. This project is under the
supervision of the Morogoro District. This will be implemented once the title
deed will be granted. Money will be provided by NGO, Banks and Government.
May God bless you
