Namibia Task Force allocates funds

The synod’s Namibia Task Force, charged with continuing and building the three-decades-old companion relationship between the synod and the Evangelical Lutheran Church (ELCIN) in Namibia, has allocated these amounts from its budget to various endeavors in Namibia:

$8,500 in scholarship monies to Oshigambo High School;

$5,000 to ELCIN; and

$3,500 to Paulinum Seminary for computers.

In addition, the task force elected Lyle Morse as its new chairman. He replaces the Rev. D. Randall Faro of St. John’s Lutheran Church of Chehalis, who served in that position for seven years. Morse is the husband of the Rev. Valinda Morse, assistant to the bishop. Early discussion is focusing on a 2014 trip to Namibia. For more information, contact Morse at morsevi@plu.edu.
