Donation from Germany in June 2012
by Rev. Reingard Knausenberger
While in Germany for the international synod and Lenker's Conference, I held a talk in the community in Wiesbaden, near Frankfurt. Afterwards, I was presented with a gift in support of our African Seminary of Eur 500! Rev. Reglind Kuehlcke, who followed a Sending from the Boland, W. Cape to Wiesbaden last year, is behind this gesture of connecting and remembering that there are communities here in Africa. She herself received from talks she held in the nearby community of Mannheim this gift for us. Such outer gestures carry a lot of inner weight. What it means for our working here and around the world that the 'prayer network' of keeping the flame of The Act of Consecration of Man strong and shining and intact is immense. It creates strength and encouragement to keep planting and caring for the seeds of spirit to grow into tangible reality. One of those seeds which we are tenderly planting in our region of Africa is to truly want, believe in, and actively pursue a seminary activity to ultimately train people willing to serve the Christ at an altar and with a community. It is immensely gratifying to know that 'way out there' others are aware of our hope and hold it in warm, prayerful hearts.
