Our newest congregational companion, Mikanjuni Lutheran Parish, is now connected to St Luke, Devon. A band greeted us as we first were asked to sign the guest book and then were escorted into the very large sanctuary. Mikanjuni had for about 11 years been a sub-parish of Kana Lutheran Parish, companion to St. John Lutheran Church, Philadelphia (Mayfair). It became a parish just one year ago and its pastor, Pastor Mtangi, was ordained at that time and has already had a significant impact on the mission of the parish. Bishop Munga, Dean Shemkala, General Secretary Mwinuka, Joanne Carlson and I gave greetings and presented gifts from St. Luke. Likewise the people sent gifts back to Devon with blessings and prayer.

In all partnership support revenue decreased by 4 percent in 2011. Due to nearly $260,000 in ongoing savings produced by reducing staff and making targeted expense reductions, the 2012 spending plan expects to complete the year with a small surplus.
