Individuals, families, and congregations walking together in prayer and preparation for the graduation ceremony at the Bweranyange Girls' Secondary school in our companion synod, the Karagwe Diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church Tanzania.

An extra challenge...

Gather dimes, quarters, or dollars for miles walked to contribute to the scholarship fund for current and future students.

Communicate the number of miles walked (by individual or congregation) every two weeks (or so) to the synod office. We'll keep a running tally here on the synod website as we journey together.

Let's work together - organize in your local congregation - report the miles walked - cooperate - celebrate - get healthy & fit - support the education of young women in Karagwe - hold our companions in prayer...

SO MANY BENEFITS!

Report your mileage. Send an e-mail to: nwpasynod@nwpaelca.org
