The Seminary is priviledged to have Mrs. Grace Rao from LCMS World Relief and Human Care [WR+HC] visiting for nearly 2 weeks. She is not only going to work with the local representatives of the Women’s League, but also give an insight about the workings of a deaconess program. She has first hand experience in this from Africa, India, Malaysia and also the USA. We are very grateful to WR&HC for having Mrs. Rao with us in this precious time.
Mrs. Rao is staying on campus and is making the most of her time. On her first day here she drove to Boksburg with the rector and shared precious information about the deaconess work in Kenya, India, Malaysia and Indonesia. Hopefully the Lutheran Church in Southern Africa can link up more and more with the Lutheran Churches sharing this third of the globe.
Yesterday she visited Bishop David Tswaedi in Mofolo North together with Pastor Dirang Bojane and the volunteer Kianga Rehr. They also had time to drive to the Hector Pieterse memorial, the Nelson Mandela museum in Vilakazi Street and finally the Apartheid museum.
