MISSION MOMENT
Ruth Chatelera and Ndindase Jere, ordained ministers of the Church of Central Africa Presbyterian (CCAP) in Malawi, are in the first cohort of women in the MTh (Master’s in Contextual Theology) program at Zomba Theological University (ZTU). Recently, they successfully defended their dissertations. This four-year program is intended to raise women scholars. Presently, The Rev. Dr. Gertrude Kapuma is ZTU’s only female regular faculty member. Your gifts to Presbyterians Sharing provide full support for 10 women in the program and are building up women leaders in Malawi.

We want to thank Rob Howard for leading us in worship this morning.

The Women’s Morning Out group would like to thank everyone who donated toward the ongoing prayer shawl ministry. Your donations allow us to continue to share God’s grace and love in moments of sadness or difficulty.
