Tafadhali jiunge nasi kwa maombi, kusoma maandiko matakatifu, wimbo na ushirika. Pia tutafakari kuhusu programu za kujenga uwezo zinazotolewa na Taasisi ya Ruhi na jinsi tunavyoweza kutafsiri mafundisho ya Baha’u’llah kwa vitendo kupitia huduma katika jumuiya zetu. Wote mnakaribishwa.
Please join us for prayer, scripture reading, song and fellowship. We will also reflect upon the capacity building programs offered by the Ruhi Institute and how we can translate Baha’u’llah’s teachings into action through service in our communities. All are welcome.
Tunataka kutoa shukrani zetu kwa Wana Quaker ambao kwa ukarimu wametoa nyumba yao ya mikutano kwa ajili ya matukio ya Kibaha’i ili kuunga mkono Wabaha’i wa Marifiki (Kongo).
We wish to express our gratitude to the Quakers who have generously offered their meeting house for Baha’i events in support of the Marifiki (Congolese) Baha’is.
Kumbuka: Ukurasa huu umekusudiwa kama nyenzo kwa Wabaha’i wa Marafiki kushiriki imani yao na marafiki zao na kuwaalika wajiunge katika mchakato wa ujenzi wa jumuiya. Inaweza pia kutumiwa kuwafahamisha wengine juu ya moyo na uthabiti wa watu wa Kongo.
Note: “Marafiki” is Swahili for “friends.” This page is intended as a resource for the Marifiki Baha’is* to share their faith with their friends and to invite them to join in a community building process. It can also serve to inform others to the spirit and resilience of the Congolese people. *”Marifiki Baha’is” is a term that some Baha’is from the Democratic Republic of Congo chose to be referred to by instead of the term “Congolese Baha’is”.
