Faithfulness springs forth from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven. The Lord will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest. Righteousness goes before him and prepares the way for his steps. —Psalm 85:11-13
Contact Women Corner
A quick hello! My name is Stephanie Otto. I have recently been appointed as the CAMM Contact Women Coordinator. It has been such a blessing to work with many LWMS reporters and fellow contact women. If you have questions about shipments to Africa, current needs, or other CAMM related questions please reach out. I would love to hear from you. If you would like to join the Contact Women network or know someone who does, please contact me.
God’s Blessings!
