Troesters to Visit Supporting Congregations in the U.S. in Summer 2017


This summer we plan to visit congregations and other community gatherings to give a presentation on our work for the ELCA in East Africa. We will concentrate our visits on our supporting congregations in Illinois, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Our itinerary is below; however, there are still a few events pending. We are greatly looking forward to meeting new people and greeting old friends.

Thank you for your prayers and support.
