Barbara Robertson, our ELCA missionary to Tanzania for the past 12 years, is among the many featured speakers in the upcoming annual "Global Stories" event Saturday, Nov. 12, at St. Mark's by The Narrows Lutheran Church in Tacoma.
Robertson is home on a rare visit, and will speak on her work as an AIDS/HIV program officer with the Morogoro Diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania. Other featured speakers include writer Anne Basye on living simply.
A host of workshops will include one with mission developers the Revs. Mike and Rowena Wang, who've started two Chinese Lutheran congregations between Tacoma and Seattle where none existed before.
This is the main event of the year that people with any passion for global mission should attend. Opportunities to learn and become involved abound. The cost is almost nothing. Register when you get there. The stories start getting told at 9 a.m. The church is at 6730 N. 17th St., Tacoma, by the bridge.
