Interested in hosting a visitor from Namibia?

The synod's enlarged Namibian Task Force will convene toward the end of the summer to discuss the possibility of bringing a representative of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Namibia (ELCIN) to visit synod congregations this fall. There would be a modest cost.
If your congregation is interested in possibly hosting this still-unidentified person to speak and preach one Sunday, send a note to synod Communicator Rachel Pritchett, who is compiling a list, at rachelpritchett@msn.com or call her at (206) 498-0920.
Pictured left to right are Bishop Robert D. Hofstad, wife Linda, the Rev. D. Randall Faro of St. John's Lutheran Church of Chehalis, and aide and Bishop Zephania Kameeta, right, an influential religious and political leader in Namibia. Bishop Hofstad led a delegation to Namibia last spring. The synod has a companion relationship with ELCIN.
