APRIL 2010 KUWAA MISSION PRAYER LETTER
Dear Friends of the Kuwaa Mission,
My name is Lolitha Shepard I am delighted to serve on the Board of Directors the Kuwaa Mission. I am a member of Faith Lutheran Church in Shreveport, Louisiana. I have never served on a foreign Mission Board before, and I have never been out of the USA on a Mission trip. Yet I have always had a desire to do so. I have worked in many ways mission projects here in the USA. I am married to Eddie Shepard, and together we have two daughters in college, and two married sons with families. I work in a high school counselor’s office in East Texas as the Registrar. When asked by Dr. Thompson to serve on the Kuwaa Mission Board I got excited and accepted the opportunity. It is a joy to listen and work and learn alongside such caring and dedicated Christians who work without complaining no matter the obstacles that come their way. Thank you all for the privilege to serve the Lord on the Kuwaa Mission Board. I am sending out materials about the Kuwaa Mission to my family and friends while challenging them to join the $12 club and to ask at least 12 people to join. I am also encouraging my congregation to adopt the Kuwaa Mission as one of our very own mission projects. I am encouraging Faith Lutheran Sunday school & VBS to participate in the Kids4Kuwaa program. I am working with the ladies’ group in my congregation to write a grant for the women in the Kuwaa Chiefdom I pray continually for the Mission and hope to one day meet members of the Board and experience a mission trip to the Kuwaa Chiefdom.
SPECIAL THANKS FOR A JOB WELL DONE
