Greetings from
Rev. John Donkoh...
On July 26 the Oregon District hosted a gathering and opportunity to meet Rev. John Donkoh, President of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Ghana.
Before serving as President, Rev. Donkoh helped in planting churches in Ghana, served as a missionary to Uganda and served as a pastor. He and his family live in Kaneshie, Accra Ghana.
Rev. Donkoh was a recipient of a LWML Oregon District Mission Grant in the 20i6-2018 Biennium.
Rev. John Donkoh had an opportunity to visit with Dan and Ella Kunkle who served as missionaries in Ghana and knew John when he was younger.
Special memories were shared.
LWML would like to announce a new way to give called: Donate Your Change.
Think of it as an Electronic Mite Box
Donate Your Change is a quick and easy app that rounds up your spare change to the nearest dollar what you don't spend on a regular purchase. You connect your preferred card to the app. and make a purchase with that card, as normal. Invest your change in your organization(s) of choice. For example, I may buy a coffee with my preferred card and spend $3.80. Donate Your Change automatically donates the remaining 20 cents to my preferred organization, LWML. There is no cost in setting up the app. Anyone with a debit or credit card can set it up. The user is in control of how much money is rounded up to be donated and in control of where the money goes.
This opportunity has went through a security screening process in order to be approved for integration and to access bank and credit card companies by Digital, Inc., a leading software security and quality consulting firm. So you know your financial information is encrypted, private, and secured.
