Director of Seminary Stewardship Sara Wilson is traveling with the Sierra Pacific Synod in Rwanda this week for the consecration of Rev. Prince Kalisa as the new bishop in the Lutheran Church in Rwanda taking place on Sunday. Today the delegation visited Ramagana Leaders School which prepares 330 students annually in grades 7-12 for college. About 2/3 live on campus in dorms and there’s a long waiting list!
