Companionship Matters!
Join the C.A.R. Table
Please, keep our brothers and sisters in the Central African Republic in your prayers.
Although this is not a place we will take large delegations or cultural immersion trips, our relationship is critical. Travel to the C.A.R. is challenging and caring for visitors is a huge burden on the local leaders.
We do have an opportunity to meet and learn from President Godlike when he visits the United States. The C.A.R. has three companion synods: the Western North Dakota Synod, the 
Eastern North Dakota Synod and the TX-LA Gulf Coast Synod. We meet together, often annually, to coordinate our partnership and strengthen our capacity to support the Lutheran Church in the C.A.R.
