Mission Kitapilimwa
School Bags
The Confirmation Youth have assembled school bags for the children in Kitapilimwa this year. Each cloth tote bag contains pencils and a pencil sharpener, colored pencils, a notebook, a workbook, a small ball or stuffed animal and an additional school item like a protractor, a compass, or a ruler. These bags were delivered and distributed by Alexis and Elizabeth Howell (two of Zion’s Confirmation students) who traveled to Tanzania this summer. Thanks to all who helped make this happen!
Gifts of Grace
Pictured are two of the most recent recipients of hats from Zion’s Gifts
of Grace project which were delivered to Kitapilimwa by a mission team from Lord of
Life Lutheran in Maple Grove. The Gifts of Grace Project continues at
Zion. This project uses a model developed by Global Health Ministries to
provide necessary and lifesaving items for newborn babies in our sister
congregation in Tanzania, East Africa. One of these items is a soft knit cap;
several hundred have now been made by members of our congregation,
friends and relatives. For example, the mother of one of our members has
made a commitment to make one knit hat per day until every baby born in
the Iringa area has a cap to welcome him or her into the world. We can
truly see the hands of Christ — and they are knitting!
700 Pounds of Maize
Now the “jug” is asking for your pocket change again. This time it’s to help out during the severe drought in East Africa. So far, we have gathered enough for 200 more pounds of maize for the emergency food fund in Kitapilimwa. Our goal is to provide an emergency food fund for the entire duration of the drought.
Medical Supplies
Do you realize the blessing you have when you take an aspirin, or an ibuprofen? Think about not having basic medical supplies like simple pain relievers, or maternity and newborn items. That is why the Kiti Krewe and others at Zion have taken on an on-going project of creating basic medical maternity and hospice kits and dispensary supplies for the village of Kitapilimwa. Earlier this year, we shipped 132 pounds of medical goods to our sister congregation and we are currently filling the next box.
