Pastor Kristin Engstrom update from Zambia

Pastor Kristin Engstrom, ELCA Global Missionary with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Zambia, shares a video update on her year in Zambia. You are invited to share this video via social media, in worship services, or perhaps at an upcoming congregational meeting. 

Hello dear siblings in Christ,

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas celebration and a Happy New Year. 

I have been here in Zambia, working with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Zambia (ELCZa), for almost a year now.  During that time, I have been welcomed and invited into ministry by our siblings in the ELCZa.  The church here has been a blessing, even as the work I am called to has challenged me to develop new skills and ways of ministry that are appropriate for the Zambian context.

In order to share with you about the ministry I am now called to with the ELCZa, I have made a short video overview (5 mn).  You are invited to share this video via social media, in worship services, or perhaps at an upcoming congregational meeting. 

Here are the links to the video:

If you have questions, please let me know. 

Mulungu, a kudalisani.  (God bless you),

Pastor Kristin Engstrom
