What a celebration of Global Mission as we were able to dine with the team of seven from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Suriname. This group, led by Missionary Pr Kevin Jacobson, has been visiting Churches within the Florida Bahamas Synod for the past week and has now joined with us in Assembly. Throughout the meal we learned of each persons role in and love for their church as well as their vocation outside the church. History of the Lutheran Church in Suriname was shared along with current joys and challenges they face The team shared the gift a song and closed with a prayer in their native Dutch.
Thank you Suriname Team for being with us in mission!!!
