Care for a church already in use

The July 2026 report locates Saint Anthony church in Nduli along the main road leading towards Iringa Airport. It records recent repainting, roof repairs and other maintenance, with support from the Stuttgart mission group.

The restoration was celebrated in the setting of a Hierarchical Divine Liturgy presided over by Metropolitan Agathonikos. A fellowship meal followed, bringing the renewed church and the community's shared life together.
