Companionship and Pemphero (Prayer) Bears & HatsThe companion synod relationship exists for the purpose of strengthening one another for life and mission within the body of Christ. it offers us the privilege of participating in the life of another church through prayer, study, communication, and exchange of persons and resources. it opens our eyes to the global challenge that Christ offers us today and calls us to deepen our commitment and discipleship as individual persons and as a community of faith. The Pemphero (Chichewa for prayer) Bear Project is a way to keep our companions from the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Malawi in our prayers and in our thoughts. While knitting or crocheting the bears, please pray for love, hope, peace, comfort, support, and good health for the orphans and all of the children. Our prayers can also focus on the women who volunteer their time to work with the children at the feeding centers, and also the women of Diakonia Services who organize the program at the feeding centers.We have been told over and over how our prayers sustain the people from our Companion Synod, and the Pemphero Bear Project certainly highlights the importance of prayer. The Pemphero Bear Project is a three-fold one:
Each congregation which involves itself in this project will be sending their items directly to: Evangelical Lutheran Church in Malawi, PO Box 650, Lilongwe, Malawi, Africa Costs to send surface mail through the US Postal Service are approximately $37.75 for 10 pounds, $48.00/15 pounds, and $58.25/20 pounds.
