Education's MISSION
/
Lutheran Hour Ministries, in the July-August 2015 edition of The Lutheran Layman, published a special article featuring the role of Education in Mission, and specifically how CFNA is doing just that. Here is an excerpt from the article, but be sure to click the link below to get the full story!
Saraswoti needed help getting started. She found it at the Peace Center, the ministry center of Christian Friends of New Americans (CFNA) here. She regularly attended After School Tutoring classes twice a week and met volunteer teachers who helped her learn English. They “helped me finish hard homework,” she adds. As a result, Saraswoti says she “made many new friends from different ethnic backgrounds.”
She also found “singing in the chapel, learning God’s Word, and being with people that are Christian” brought a very formative and satisfying experience. As a result, Saraswoti, together with the members of her family as well as a growing number of recent Nepali arrivals, are attending Ascension Lutheran Church in St. Louis and its Nepali language satellite named New Life Fellowship.
