The last four and a half months have been a whirlwind of activity in Eastern and Southern Africa (as usual). Every day we praise the Lord for the missionaries on our field who enable all this to happen and for the church bodies with whom we are in relationship who invite us to walk alongside them in outreach and Gospel proclamation. Here's the briefest glimpse of some of what God is doing here through local church bodies walking alongside the LCMS and our amazing missionaries:
- Tanzania, Rwanda, Kenya, and Malawi - OIM Exec Director Dan McMiller visits with Shauen
- Kenya - Bishop's Reconciliation Retreat
- Tanzania - Mercy Medical Team
- South Africa - Lutheran Theological Seminary Visit
- Kenya - Project24 Volunteer from the States
- Kenya - Living Faith of Clive, Iowa short term team trip to Kakuma Refugee Camp

- Uganda - Volunteer Visits
- Kenya - Dedication of new Project24 Boarding Facility
- Kenya - Project24 Catechism Club
