Prayers and Gifts Needed for Bishop Andrew Mbugo Elisa of the
   Evangelical Lutheran Church in Sudan

   Please offer prayers for Bishop Andrew Mbugo Elisa who is currently
   hospitalized in Amman, Jordan, due to an inflammation of his brain. He
   has lost his balance, is visually impaired, and struggling with his
   speech as a result of this disorder. He is currently being treated with
   medication, but may also require surgery. His wife Linda is with him in
   Jordan.


   The hospitalization, treatments, and travel are very expensive, and an
   appeal has come forward from LCMS World Mission and Lutheran Heritage
   Foundation to assist Bishop Elisa and his family in this time of need.
   Since the Nebraska District in its 2006 Convention voted to partner
   with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Sudan and is currently involved
   in various Lutheran Christian mission projects in Sudan, this appeal
   for prayer and gifts to help the Elisa family is coming to you.


   You may send monetary gifts to:

   Lutheran Heritage Foundation World Mission Center
