Our Story...
Sixteen Lutheran travelers journeyed from California, Connecticut, Minnesota, Oregon and Wisconsin and included, the Rev. Michael Brewer, Jacob Cowan, Katherine Harris, Gregory and Jacqueline Kile, the Rev. Timothy and Lynnette Krieger, Mary Ladenthin, Michael Liebe, Donald Metzler, Susan Perra, the Rev. Rex and Linda Rinne, the Rev. James and Judith Stoltenberg, and Deanna Thompson. While the trip is over, the affects of their work will live on.
These pilgrims, along with their congregations, worked all year to fund raise for this school and their goal is to fund another this year! Education is the key to breaking the chains of generational poverty
“I believe that followers of Jesus want to be like Him,” the Rev. Krieger said. “Jesus has a special place in His heart for poor people. In Luke 12:34, Jesus said, ‘Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.’ I used some of the money God has entrusted to me to develop a heart for His poor ones [in Jamaica].”
“All of us were really taken to be part of the school’s ground breaking ceremony,” said the Rev. Jim Stoltenberg, pastor at St. John Lutheran Church, Meriden, Conn., as he recalled how the villagers celebrated receiving the answer to five years of prayers. “We were definitely standing in His presence on Holy ground.”
