First Lutheran Travels to Mubi

In December, 2000, a group of 10 helped to dedicate the Medical Clinic in the Visik Hills. In November, 2006, Pastor Terry Frovik and Jamie Johnson visited the four outreach areas with members of the Mubi church. Linda Van Ryn joined a team from Global Health Ministries. Pastor Joseph Umar from the Mubi church received his Master’s Degree at Luther Seminary. Many relationships have been developed between individuals and groups of LCCN #1, Mubi and First Lutheran.

We look forward to future visits from members of the Mubi church and the LCCN and are excited about working with the Nigerian Health Care groups of the Minneapolis Area Synod and the LCCN with the support of Global Health Ministries to help improve health care and improved access to clean water in Nigeria.
