Good news from La Caramuca, Venezuela
David and Luz María Ernst shared in their latest newsletter that Epiphany Lutheran Mission in La Caramuca, Venezuela, welcomed a new communicant member.
“On September 15, 2024, the sixteenth Sunday after Trinity, we welcomed Maria Cecilia Ortega as a communicant member. Four of her children and three grandchildren were baptized at our mission, and five children received their first communion,” they say.
Her verse of affirmation of faith was Psalm 118:24, they continue. “This is the day that the Lord has made; we will be glad and rejoice in it.”
School supplies from LeadaChild
On the same Sunday, they delivered backpacks with school supplies to the children of the mission, thanks to the donations of LeadaChild, “a missionary society that has supported our mission since 2006,” David and Luz María write.
They explain that LeadaChild provides funds for scholarships, school registration, and supplies for children so they can attend Lutheran schools and educational enrichment programs.
That NGO also provides professional development for leaders and teachers, “with an emphasis on effective ways to share the Gospel and teach biblical truths to children. Our young women showed the fruits of the crocheting that accompanied their Bible study during the vacation,” the missionaries write in their recent newsletter.
