Leadership

Douglas Mmari
Interim Minister

Minister Douglas Mmari serves as Salem Synodically Authorized Interim Minister while developing the Shalom Ministry. The Shalom Ministry is mainly focusing on reaching out and ministering to the Sub Saharan Africans, of which most of them are refugees from Rwanda, the Congo and Burundi. Listening to their stories, some have lived in the bush, refugee camps and out in the streets for years – no electricity, no home, no property, no medication and no meaning of life. They still shed tears when they remember the brutality that they saw and experienced. We also have people from other countries such as Zimbabwe, Kenya, Nigeria, Senegal, Central Africa, and Algeria who are here for difference reasons. Minister Mmari is from Tanzania.
