Profile of the companion synod relationship - 1C Southwestern Washington Synod / Namibia /

By praying with leaders like ex-Bishop Thomas Shivute of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Namibia to providing hats for sick babies at Onandjokwe Lutheran Hospital, we walk together in accompaniment more strongly than if each of us walked alone.
