Faith Lutheran 2025 Lenten Project:
March 8 - April 13
Your donations to Friends of Madagascar Mission for Hope Lutheran School in Antananarivo, Madagascar, will provide meals, healthcare and hygiene, clothing, and faith-based education to at-risk homeless children, grades 1-9. Your support will also help to move forward with a trade school teaching older students skills that will allow them to find work or start a business, when for most, college is out of reach. madagascarmission.org
Donations can be made by check payable to: FRIENDS OF MADAGASCAR MISSION. Envelopes, provided at the Lenten Project table in the Centrum beginning March 8, can be placed in the offering plates at services or the 2 offering boxes at the back of the Sanctuary, or mailed to Faith Lutheran Church.

Your Mission & Service Ministry Team distributed Mission funds in February 2025 as follows:
$1,250.00 to Trinity HOPE: A Feeding Program for children in Haiti at Christian Schools, providing HOPE and sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Every dollar to Trinity HOPE provides meals for 3 children for an entire day in a community where many perish due to a loss of food. This is the first half of our Annual Commitment to The Bread of Life Campaign. trinityhope.org
$1,750.00 to International Christian Concern: Every year, 200 million Christians suffer some level of persecution. As a human rights organization, ICC is dedicated to assisting and sustaining Christians throughout the world who are victims of persecution and discrimination due to practicing their Faith. persecution.org
A NEW SCHOOL YEAR BEGINS AT COMMON HOPE IN GUATEMALA
Common Hope works in over 30 communities helping nearly 10,000 impoverished children & adults create a better life for themselves. Their programs in education, health care, housing, and family development are offered through 4 main locations: Antigua, San Miguel Milpas Altas, San Rafael, and New Hope.
This year, unfortunately, one of the students sponsored by our Faith Lutheran Congregation, Tania, has had to leave the program and we regret that she was not able to continue with Common Hope. However, we are excited to welcome a new student, Jade Lloyd Arias Guzman, and we look forward to supporting and encouraging her education. This month, she will turn 14 and is beginning 6th grade. We are also pleased to report that Juan Daniel Hernandez Flores is doing very well in school. He is a 10th grader and will be 16 in June. You can see all of the children sponsored by Faith and its members on the bulletin board in the Crossroads Cafe Coffee Area.
