This time next week, the delegation from the Montana Synod will be in South Africa. (Well, we'll be somewhere over the Atlantic, but you get the point.)

Pastor Peggy Paugh Leuzinger, Pastor Will Sappington, Colter McCarty, and Bishop Jessica Crist will all be traveling around the Cape Orange Diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in South Africa. Its that entire Western Portion including Free State, Northern Cape, Eastern Cape, and the Western Cape.

If you want to learn more about what we will be doing, go ahead and read this weeks Words from the Bishop.

This space will be where we post vlogs, pictures, written blogs, etc, whenever possible. We will be connected down there, but don't know for sure where or when we'll be able to update. So check back regularly!

More to come,

Colter M

We have arrived in Johannesburg, after flying for a day and a half. We will spend 2 days in Johannesburg before driving to Kimberly, the Diocesan headquarters of the Cape Orange Diocese of the ELCSA.

Last night there was a gorgeous full moon over Johannesburg. Such a reminder that we are all citizens of the same planet. This morning we were awakened by birds.

Wish I was with you all, as it's been almost 10 years since my last trip! I remember looking up at night and realizing I was in the southern hemisphere and how profound that was!
We had a beautiful full moon last night, also! Huh!!
Please greet everyone from me! Or maybe I'm not that memorable?
Anyway, send them all my love and prayers!
