Come along each Sunday to learn more from the team who visited Madargachh in September. Each week they will be sharing a story, video or image of particualry important events that occurred during their trip. Thankyou to the team for these snippets - they are fantastic!
Stay tuned as they prepare an event of epic proportions that will happen early next year.
In Partnership with ALWS, Good News Lutheran Community is on a journey of partnership with the Madargachh Village in Eastern Nepal. This partnership gives us the opportunity to develop deep, meaningful and long lasting links with this community on the other side of the world. Through this link, we will be able to learn more about ourselves and our fellow human beings and explore Jesus' call to truly love others as we love ourselves. We are assisting them with projects that they undertake to improve their quality of life, and through ongoing dialogue, we will have the chance to build friendships, refocus our priorities and appreciate our lives in a whole new light.
We are close to raising the funds required for them to undertake the projects they identified as being crucial to them moving out of poverty. That is a fantastic effort and every Good Newser should be proud of our acheivement!
We work with expectation to see what God has planned for our two communities as we continue on this road together!
