Editor's Notes
- Karibu! Welcome to your St. John’s global mission ministry! Thank you for coming. >>Global Mission Team briefly introduces themselves In this session, we want to give you a glimpse at one project of the St. John’s global mission team: Our Companion Synod Relationship with Pare Diocese, Tanzania.
- The ELCA engages in God’s mission in more than 90 countries around the world through companion churches. St. John’s financially supports this in a number of ways – the Lenten boxes, the quarters collection, $1000 towards missionary support, other??? Our companion synod is located in Tanzania, a country that is marked by a star on this map.
- In Africa, the church is at the center of society. Most African Christians look to their churches for education, health care, worship, and fellowship. From their place at the center of society, African Lutheran churches are growing rapidly. The ELCA walks side by side with African churches. As they face dilemmas and pandemics, so do we. As they identify priorities, we support them. Through ELCA personnel and grants, the ELCA accompanies African Lutheran churches in evangelism, Christian education, leadership. You can see where Tanzania is on the continent, now let’s get even closer . . .
- Here we are . . . the country of Tanzania. The SE Iowa Synod has a companion synod relationship with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania, which is organized into 20 dioceses, in the similar way that the ELCA is organized by synods. We are matched specifically with the Pare Diocese , located in the NE corner of Tanzania, adjacent to the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro. >>may wish to show the letter of agreement with Pare Diocese as another visual???
- Before we go into the nature of the companion relationship, let’s go over some basic facts about the country of Tanzania. >>each bullet point will fade in on mouse click >>may wish to mention the meaning of the flag: Tanzanian Flag Meaning: The green stripe symbolizes agriculture and the fertility of the land. The black represents the citizens of Tanzania. The blue stripe stands for the Indian Ocean which is on Tanzania's eastern coastline, and the yellow stripe represents the country's mineral wealth. Effective date: 30 June 1964.
- Yet this is the Tanzania we know. . .a place of beautiful people, dear friends, and faithful Christians. >>if you like, say more about this picture.
- What exactly is a companion synod relationship? The companion synod relationship is based on the idea of “accompaniment” whereby the relationship is defined in a mutual way. The ELCA promotes a an “accompaniment” style of relationship. Accompaniment is a way of walking together in solidarity that practices interdependence and mutuality . Through the accompaniment model, the relationship is based on mutual respect . . . and a whole lot of listening! Together, we work to set the path of how we will move forward as companion synods. Think “three cups of tea” – the value of listening as a way to grow the relationships. >>feel free to say a little more if you like
- As part of the companion relationship, we exchange visits – our Tanzanian counterparts visit us; and we visit them >>say more about this picture if you like >> good time to briefly explain Todd Byerly’s role and make the link of the $1000 for missionary support

- >>say a little bit about Gonja Hosp
- >> I like this! What does it mean? >>don’t worry if you don’t know what this means, just talk about how you saw signs like these all over and how they are used as a way of prevention through public health education; important to use pictures as well as words so the communication can transcend illiteracy (although this one has a lot of words, but you know) >>this one looks like an HIV/AIDS prevention effort
- Of course the best health care is preventative health care, so keeping track of children’s weight is an important way to measure proper growth and to detect health problems before they get serious. >>more about this pic
