When Kissinger was in North Dakota to explain and report on Project 24 and our work in East Africa he stopped at Cross Pointe Lutheran Church invited by Rev Mike Geddings who has been a Mary Okeyo traveler and has volunteered in Africa and lived in Project 24 centers. One of Kissinger’s tasks is to organize catechetical competitions between the sites so that the children get a good Lutheran foundation and Biblical understanding. The children learn and memorize the 6 Chief parts of Christian doctrine as found in Luther’s catechism and they put those things to music and dance.
The youth at Cross Pointe returned the favor and videoed their memorizations of the Apostle’s Creed.
I was blessed to attend Kissinger’s presentation at Crosspointe along with our daughters, and to hear about Project 24. There was even some Kenyan cuisine to taste! Bill had spoken of Kissinger so often, it was great to actually meet him!
I enjoyed the visit with John at MNN District office. Today I was able to do a preentation on Project 24 at St. John’s Lutheran Church, Cedar Mills, MN (Hutchinson). It was well received.
