The Missions and Social Justice Team is sponsoring a speaker at St. Andrew this Sunday, November 10. Nate and Elinda Steury, from Zambia, will be with us in both worship services, as well as for an informal time from 9:30-10:20 at the Second Sunday Connection in Room 5. (This will be the last Second Sunday Connection this year.) Nate and Elinda serve at the United Methodist mission site at Ndola, Zambia, called Kafakumba Transformational Outreach (KTO).  This broad ministry includes a clinic, school, a pastor training and support center, women’s ministries, children’s ministries, churches, a multi-use training facility, and well-drilling water ministry. In addition, Kafakumba also provides significant economic development in agriculture, animal and fish industries, and honey.

Nate and Elinda both grew up in central Africa—Nate the son of famed mission surgeon, Dr. Ernie Steury (who also founded Tenwick Hospital in Kenya) and Elinda, the daughter of  legendary Methodist mission pilot and church planter, Ken Enright, and educator, Lorraine. Nate is a United Methodist Elder in the Florida Conference on loan to serve missionally since 2013. Nate uses  his C.P.A., pastoral, and leadership skills as the Director of Kafakumba. Elinda is an on-line nursing professor as well as clinical leader at the Kafakumba Clinic. 

St. Andrew supports the work of the Kafakumba Clinic in honor of Naomi Kilembo, who attended St. Andrew during her graduate years at Purdue. Naomi was critical to the founding of the Clinic and continues to be its administrator. 

Come and be inspired and moved by God at work in Central Africa!
