Ministry in TanzaniaMinimize

One way Good Shepherd tries to fulfill its purpose of "making Word and Sacrament available to the greatest number of people as possible" is through its financial support of an ELCA missionary by the name of Nancy Stevenson. Nancy teaches English to students at Makumira University College - the national university of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania (ELCT).Students at Makumira seminary must learn to speak, read and write English. Nancy is the teacher who helps make that happen. She has been teaching at Makumira since 1979. Good Shepherd had the pleasure of a visit from Nancy during her 2008 trip back to the States for vacation.

The ministry takes place at St. Paul United Methodist Church in Madiera. You can serve for an hour or two, help out behind the scenes by making and delivering a meal, or even spend the night.


Sign up in the church lobby. For more information, please contact Judy Herrmann, GSLC’s Interfaith Hospitality Network ministry coordinator.


Another opportunity to volunteer for IHN will come again on October 22nd.
