From Iowa to Namibia --
Lutherans Share a Journey of Faith Together

We invite you to view some of the colorful photos from the 20-day journey to Namibia that six members from the Northeastern Iowa Synod took in May 2009.

The group members visited 17 churches, stayed in homes and guest houses, and immersed themselves in the Namibian culture and daily lifestyles of their hosts. Their goal was to build face-to-face connections as part of the Companion Synod relationship that started nearly 20 years ago between the Northeastern Iowa Synod and the Evangelical Lutheran Churches of Namibia.

During their journey, the Iowa travelers witnessed firsthand the excitement that Lutherans in Namibia have for their church as the center of their lives and how they live their Christian faith with enthusiasm and joy.

The Iowa group would like to share their journey with churches, clubs and organizations of Northeast Iowa. To schedule a presentation, call the synod office at 319-352-1414 or email webadmin@neiasynod.org.
